The Pemko FS Full Surface Continuous Geared Hinge is designed for retrofit projects. It attaches directly to exposed door and frame surfaces. Because it spreads weight evenly along the door, it prevents sagging and ensures smooth operation. In addition, it works with hollow metal, tin-clad, steel-covered, and wood composite doors.

Moreover, it is fire-rated up to 3 hours with FirePins, which guarantees safety and code compliance. Also, custom lengths are available, and no special reinforcements are needed, so installation is fast and flexible. Therefore, it is ideal for retrofitting fire doors in schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings.

Furthermore, it requires no special cutting or preparation, which saves time during installation. As a result, it provides a durable, long-lasting solution. Consequently, this hinge offers safety, reliability, and convenience for retrofit projects. Additionally, it meets ANSI/BHMA and UL fire rating standards, ensuring compliance with building codes. Finally, it delivers a practical and efficient solution for heavy-duty doors in various applications.
