The Permanent Fix for Failing Doors
When a high-traffic commercial door starts to sag, replacing standard hinges often isn't enough. The screw holes are stripped, the frame is fatigued, or the door is simply too heavy. The ultimate solution is a Continuous Geared Hinge (Roton Hinge). This heavy-duty aluminum hinge runs the full height of the door, distributing the weight evenly from top to bottom. Installix specializes in continuous hinge installation, saving you the cost of replacing the entire door and frame.
When to Use a Continuous Hinge
Rotted or Damaged Frames
If the wood or metal frame is rusted or split where the old hinges mount, new standard hinges will just pull out again. A continuous hinge mounts over the damage, anchoring to the entire length of the frame.
High Abuse Areas
Schools, malls, and rear exit doors take a beating. A continuous hinge eliminates the "kick point" gap and prevents the door from being ripped off the frame.
Security
Because the hinge covers the entire gap between the door and frame, it is impossible to pry the door open from the hinge side. It acts as a full-length security astragal.
The Solution: Geared Aluminum Technology
We install Select or Roton brand geared hinges. Instead of a pin, these use meshed gears under a cover plate. They are rated for millions of cycles and can support doors weighing up to 500lbs.
Why Choose Installix?
- Perfect Fit: We cut the hinge to the exact height of your door for a seamless look.
- Hardware Handling: We remove old pivots or butt hinges and cover the old holes, leaving a clean finish.
- Alignment: We use the hinge to correct door sagging, ensuring the lock latches perfectly again.
Technical Specifications
| Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Full Surface | Mounts to the face of the door and frame. Easiest retrofit for doors that are already hung. |
| Half Surface | Mounts to the frame face and door edge. |
| Concealed (Full Mortise) | Hidden between door and frame. Requires exact clearance measurement. |
Our Process: Reinforce & Restore
Step 1: Prep
We remove the door (if needed) and strip off the failed hinges/pivots. We prep the surface.
Step 2: Mounting
We secure the continuous hinge using dozens of fasteners along the entire length. This spreads the stress load.
Step 3: Adjustment
We swing the door and check the clearances. The door should feel lighter and smoother than it ever has.
Pricing Factors
- Material: Continuous hinges are expensive hardware components, but cheaper than a new door/frame.
- Door Height: Standard is 83", but 95" or custom lengths cost more.
- Finish: Clear Anodized (Silver) and Dark Bronze are standard. Black is available.
