INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Full Surface Balance Pivot Hinges are designed mainly for retrofit work, where door to frame applications exist, or new construction where door to door application is desired. See figure A and B for clearances.
-
a. For Door to Frame Installation Open the PemkoHinge leafs and position one leaf on the face of the frame. Allow 1/8” clearance between the top of the hinge and the frame header.
b. For Door to Door Installation Open the PemkoHinge leafs and position one leaf on the face of the door. Align flush with the top of the door.
Skip Steps 2-3 for Door to Door Installation -
Mark the top 7/32 hole and install one of the (12) #12- 24 x 3/4 self drilling tek screws. Once the top screw is installed, level hinge and install the remaining (5) #12-24 tek screws. In the 4 remaining 5/16” holes, drill a .201 (No. 7) hole. Using the T-27 Torx bit provided, install the (4) 1/4-20 x 5/8 self tapping Torx screws.
-
Position the door in the opening; shim to adjust for proper clearance (See Figures A and B).
-
Install the six (6) #12-24 x 3/4” self drill/tapping screws in the six (6) 7/32” holes located in the door leaf portion of the hinge.
-
Remove shims and open the door. Check for proper swing and clearances. Adjust if required.
-
Close the door. Mark the centers of the remaining holes. Drill holes all the way through the door using a 1/4” diameter drill.
-
Open the door. Enlarge the 1/4” holes on the inside face of the door using a 3/8” dia. drill. Finish attaching door leaf portion of PemkoHinge to the face of the door using the four (4) thru-bolts and shoulder bolts. Thru-bolts attach from inside face; shoulder bolts attach from the outside of face.
-
Repeat Steps 4-7 for Door to Door Installation only
-
To complete the installation, first secure the frame leaf snap cover using a rubber mallet, starting at the top and working down to the bottom. Install the door leaf cover by first hooking the edge away from the gears and then secure the cover on with a rubber mallet. Adjust so top of covers are flush with top of hinge.
OPTION: Firepins are required on 3 hour (A-Label) assemblies. (See reverse side for instructions).
Grade 1 Heavy Duty Full Surface Balance Pivot
- 3” Between Bearing Centers
- Tested and certified with the best warranty in the industry.
- No restrictions on frame gauge and wall conditions.
- No restriction on cutting hinges in field.
- No special cutting instructions or voided warranties.
- No special door and frame preps up to and including 90 minute doors.
SHORTENING THE HINGE:
If the hinge must be shortened, cut the bottom only using a chop saw. This
will allow metal chips to work out after the installation. Although it is not
handed, the hinge becomes handed after cutting and the cut edge must be
installed at the bottom of the opening.
DRILL SIZE CHART
- Allow extra clearance as required per astragal manufacturer. Certain door and frame conditions may require an extra 1/32″-1/16″ clearance. Excessive clearance on fire rated assemblies may violate the requirements of NFPA 80.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Pemko’s aluminum products and solid gasket products can be cleaned with a mild
soap with warm water. A clean non-abrasive cloth should be used to clean the
surface of these products. For removing grease, sealant, or other minimal
adhesives a mild solvent such as mineral spirits may be used; then clean with
mild soap mixed with warm water. To dry, either allow to air dry or wipe dry
with a chamois, squeegee, or lint-free cloth. For sponge gasket and
weatherstrip products, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not use mineral spirits or
other chemical as this may cause the plastic to “melt” or deteriorate. To dry,
either allow to air dry or wipe dry with a chamois, squeegee, or lint-free
cloth. The use of strong solvents or cleaner concentrations may cause damage
to the finish surface and isn’t recommended.
MAINTENANCE
Pemko products are generally low-maintenance and require nothing more than
general cleaning. Should anything outside of “general cleaning” arise, please
consult Pemko Customer Service. If you have any questions, or if you have a
situation outside this scope, please contact Pemko Customer Service.
