A SELECT geared continuous hinge has been tested in accordance with ANSI 250.4-1994 test procedure and acceptance criteria for physical endurance for steel doors and hardware and has surpassed 25,000,000 cycles during testing by an independent laboratory. On a door cycling 400,000 times per year, a SELECT hinge will be performing for over 62 years.
SELECT geared continuous hinges are built to handle abuse from high-traffic applications. They are applied to the surface on the edge of the frame and door. No machining or reinforcement is required.
The revolutionary SELECT geared continuous hinge puts an end to costly and irritating hinge failure problems, the most common cause of entrance failure.
On conventional hinges, opening and “kick-back” energy concentrate on a few inches of fastened reinforcing plate — with the top hinge handling 100% of the force. Pinless SELECT hinges bond the door and frame into an integrated, sag-free unit. “Kick-back”energy dissipates along the entire length of the door and frame. (Compare this to a conventional hinge’s 4-1/2" to 5" at the top of the door and frame).
SELECT geared continuous hinges eliminate the gap between the door and frame,providing a weatherproof, rust-proof, tamper-proof barrier. When the door is closed, there are no accessible screws, bolts or pins.
SELECT Advantages
Pair-Matched™ Hinge Leaves
Manufactured together, machined together and anodized together, making SELECT hinges fit your doors better and last longer. An exclusive SELECT benefit.
Lifetime Lubrication
Eliminates the need for periodic maintenance. Quiet performance. Fights gear cap wear. An exclusive SELECT benefit.
Anodized After Machining
Delivers superior wear, durability and life. Inhibits corrosion. Few hinge makers follow SELECT’s lead in using this superior manufacturing process.
Meets Leed Requirements
Made from recycled aluminum. Reduces environmental impact and qualifies for LEED points. An exclusive SELECT benefit.
Consistent Templating
Hole pattern is identical on both Standard and Heavy Duty models, so SELECT hinges line up precisely for easier and faster installation. An exclusive SELECT benefit.
Coated Fasteners
Provide additional corrosion protection with either self-drilling, thread-forming (SDTF) or thread-forming (TF) screws. An exclusive SELECT benefit.
Custom Colors
Match any paint color on the gear cap or the entire hinge and fasteners, including our always-in-stock Bone White gear caps. Anodized colors also available.
