The SL57 full surface geared continuous hinge is a long-term, tamper-resistant solution for your high-traffic commercial entryways. Designed for retrofit or new construction applications, it will reduce maintenance costs while outperforming traditional butt and pivot hinges. Here’s why it is the best choice in schools, offices, airports, storefronts, hotels and public and industrial buildings :
- Lasts 60+ years in high-traffic entryways. A SELECT geared continuous hinge distributes stress the full length not just two to four points along the door so it performs problem-free for years. To prove its superior endurance we tested a SELECT hinge for 25,000,000 open/close cycles (equivalent to 60-years of high-traffic operation) and there was no measurable change to the hinge or door.
- Backed by our exclusive Continuous Warranty™ — that proven endurance deserves a warranty that never ends for a hinge that never quits.
- Reuse doors and frames. No need to start over when installing an SL57 geared full surface continuous hinge.
- SL57 hinges fit doors better and last longer because the matched leaves are manufactured, machined and anodized after machining — together.
- Consistent templating ensures hinge holes line up precisely which simplifies installation.
- Lifetime lubrication delivers quiet performance; eliminates periodic maintenance.
- Qualifies for LEED points. SL57 hinges are made from up to 100% recycled aluminum and their durability reduces environmental impact.
