Key specifications

  • Heavy duty continuous geared hinge, ANSI/BHMA A156.26 — for high-traffic doors needing security, no exposed pins to tamper with
  • Mounts full surface along the whole door — weight is spread evenly instead of loading 3 hinges
  • Extends door and frame life by 400% — the load never sits on three points
  • Carries doors up to 200 lbs in high-frequency use, or up to 400 lbs in medium-frequency use
  • Gear teeth interlock the full height — swing stays smooth with no single pivot point to bind, squeak or wear out early

The LHHD157 is a heavy duty continuous hinge that runs the full height of the door, in aluminum with interlocking gear teeth. It carries doors up to 400 pounds and 48” wide.

Why continuous rather than butt hinges

Three butt hinges concentrate a door's whole weight at three points, and those points are where a heavy door eventually works loose and starts to sag. A continuous hinge spreads that load along the entire edge. Nothing loosens at a single screw, and the door stays in alignment for the life of the building rather than needing adjustment every few years.

The gear teeth interlock along the full length, so the swing stays smooth with no single pivot point to bind or wear.

What to check before you order

Your door height. A continuous hinge is cut to the door, so measure it.

Your door weight and width. Up to 400 pounds and 48”. Past that you need a different specification.

The frame. It flush mounts, so the frame has to take a full-height hinge. Worth having an installer look at the opening before ordering rather than after.

  • Designed for high traffic doors that require tamper-proof hinges, such as storefronts and entrances to offices, hospitals, places of worship, schools, hotels, and other commercial spaces
  • Door Weight. Up to 200 lbs. (high frequency doors) or 400 lbs. (medium frequency doors)
  • Designed for new construction or retrofitting and repairing doors
