The continuous door hinges in our online range are designed for a variety of door weights and thicknesses, although we don’t recommend them for use on doors that are not properly balanced or supported. 

The benefits of investing in continuous hinges over other commercial door hinge types

Continuous door hinges are composed of two interlocking pieces of metal, each of which is attached to one side of the door along its entire length from top to bottom. The two pieces fit together snugly, forming a strong bond that can support a significant amount of weight. 

These hinges are different from other varieties in several key ways. First, traditional hinges are attached to the door frame at two or three specific points, while continuous hinges are attached along the entire length of the door and frame. This means weight and support is evenly distributed across the entire door for maximum strength and stability.

Additionally, traditional heavy duty door hinges have gaps between the leaves, while the leaves of a continuous door hinge fit snugly together – this design helps to distribute the weight of the door more evenly, making it easier to open and close, squeak-free and thus maintenance-free for years to come.

We also supply premium quality piano hinges for doors in commercial settings

Piano hinges (named for their resemblance to the hinges you see on the top of traditional pianos), are also ideally suited for doors that require a high degree of stability and strength. Typically made from thicker gauge metals, these types of commercial door hinges are available in a variety of lengths to accommodate doors of different sizes.

Please note that piano hinges must be properly installed in order to provide adequate support for the door – don’t hesitate to call us for expert guidance from our friendly and knowledgeable team.
