SELECT HINGE PERFORMANCE

• 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 iritating 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 SL41 geared continuous hinges are listed and tested by Underwriters Laboratories to meet the Positive and Negative pressure requirements of UL1OB and UL10C, and are in accordance with UBC 7.2 (1997). SELECT SL41 geared continuous hinges are for use on swinging single fire doors (max. door opening of 4’x10) or pairs of fire doors (max. door opening of 8’x10), including double egress, installed in masonry or drywall. SELECT SL41 geared continuous hinges are rated for up to 1-1/2 hours for wood composite and wood core type fire doors. A special patented process can be added to increase the fire rating to 3 hours (NO FIRE PINS OR STUDS REQUIRED) for hollow metal or steel covered composite type doors.

Important Warranty Information

The following actions will void any warranty, expressed or implied:

• Failure to install the hinge according to manufacturer’s specifications and requirements. (For more information, visit selecthingerequirements.com.)
• Use of fasteners other than those supplied with the hinge.
• Unauthorized field modifications, including alteration or removal of the factory-applied lubricant, altering the original finish or painting the hinge.

Tools Needed

• Metal-cutting saw
• Tape measure

• 13 or 3/16″ drill bit

• 5/32″ drill bit (wood frames/doors)

• 3 Phillips drive

• Shims

Parts Supplied

• 12-24 self-drilling, thread-forming (SDTF) 410 SS Phillips undercut flathead screws

Optional Parts

• 12 410 SS Phillips undercut flathead Wood screws

• 12-24 thread-forming (TF) 410 SS Phillips undercut flathead Screws

• Protective gloves are recommended

How to Cut the Hinge to Fit

• A. Keep hinge in “door closed” position (Fig. 1).
• B. Determine whether this will bea right- hand or left-hand installation.

IMPORTANT: Cut only one end of hinge. Cut end will be installed at the bottom. Keep original templated six-hole pattem at top end of hinge.
NOTE: SL40 is non-handed and remains non-handed after cutting.

• C. Using a metal-cutting saw, begin the cut through the gear cap first.

NOTE: DO NOT cut through a set screw bearing.

• D. Reinstall any set screw bearing that may have been cut off.

Prepare Frame

1. Shim hinge to 1/8″ below the header to allow for door clearance.

2. Hold hinge in “door open” position (Fig. 2), making sure frame leaf alignment flange (SL40) or frame face portion of the frame leaf (SL41) is tight against frame face.

3. Mark (or centerpunch) hole locations.
   NOTE: TF screws and wood screws require pilot holes at marked locations. SDTF screws do not require pilot holes.
   If using SDTF screws, go to Step 5. If usingI or wood screws, dril holes at marked locations. DO NOT attach hinge to the frame at this time. Metal frame: Use #13 (185″) bit or 3/16″ (.188″) bit Wood frame: Use 5/32″ (156″) bit B. Attach Door to Hinge

4. Align the door leaf alignment flange or the door leaf lip along the full length of the door edge (even if the door is slightly warped).

5. IMPORTANT: Top end of the hinge must be flush with the top of the door.
   IMPORTANT: If installing hinge on a 90-minute fire-rated wood door, mark or centerpunch only one hole in each pair of holes at the top and bottom of the door leaf. DO NOT install the remaining screws in six- hole pattern on the door leaf. See illustration below.

6. Mark (or centerpunch) holes. If using SDTF screws, go to Step 7. If using TF or wood screws, drill holes at marked locations. Metal door: Use #13 (185″) bit or 3/16″ (188″) bit Wood door: Use 5/32″ (156″) bit

7. Fasten door leaf to door using #3 Phillips dive and fasteners provided.
   Attach Door to Frame

8. Position door at 90 degrees to the frame. Shim door to the proper height so the door aligns with the top screw holes.

9. Install two screws at the top of hinge. Remove shim and align remaining holes. Install screws in middle and bottom tWo holes.

10. Check door for proper swing and clearance before installing remaining screws.

Reinforcing &Rivnuts
No hinge reinforcement is necessary except on extremely high-frequency, extremely heavy or extra-wide doors. Rivnuts are recommended for use in the frame when the door exceeds 450 Ib. (max. 600 Ib.).
NOTE: Only SELECT steel Rivnuts are to be used with fire-rated SELECT hinges.
Grouted/Slushed-in Frames
For ease of installation, it is recommended some sort of mudguard be installed behind the frame. Do not use self-drilling, thread- forming (SDTF) Screws to drill into grouted frames. If mudguards have not been used, carefully drill pilot holes through frame and remove grout for screw clearance. Do not Oversize holes in frame.
Fire-Rated Hinges
All stock SELECT hinges are 90-minute UL-rated, without pins. Please contact SELECT for complete information about its fire-rated hinges.
