Security Hinges

Most people don’t think about them too much. Hinges come in many styles, sizes, finishes, can pass electricity to the door in a hidden and secure manner, can be self closing… AND the security of your building hinges on proper hinge operation. A sample of hinge types:

Security hinges are used to prevent the door from being opened from the hinge side.

Types include:

• Interlocking Security Stud – where a security pin projects from one side of the hinge leaf and when hinge is closed this stud anchors into a locking hole on the other leaf, locking the two sides even if the hinge pin is removed.
• Secured Hinge Pin – where the hinge pin is non removable. An attractive and economical security solution.
• Hinge Pin Set Screw – a set screw keeps the hinge pin in place. The set screw can only be removed when the door is open.

Continuous Hinges

Often we find hinges and/or door jams have failed and will not allow the door to properly close, lock and latch securely. The door rubs the jam, won’t close to latch, hangs crooked, the jam is weak and for various other reasons won’t hold securely. A continuous hinge is good solution when the existing hinge cannot be repaired or replaced because of weak structure or improper sizing.
Continuous hinges are designed for new construction or retrofit applications, reduce maintenance costs and outperform traditional hinges in schools, offices, airports, storefronts, hotels and public and industrial buildings. They are especially durable and maintenance free for high traffic areas. The can be wired to pass electric power to the door and come in many finishes and can be electrostatically painted to match any finish.
