The 045XY, 046XY, 053XY, and 054XY are high-quality, easy-to-install continuous hinges that allow all clearances to be adjusted after the door is secured to the frame. The hinges are available in lengths of 83”, 85”, 95”, and 119”. Before installing a new hinge, check frame condition and make any necessary repairs at this time. If the top of the frame is not perfectly level, the new hinge will allow for vertical adjustment so the door will clear the lower of the top two corners of the frame.
Please follow the installation instructions carefully. Not doing so may result in improper installation and void the manufacturer’s guarantee. Anodizing or painting the product in the field will void the guarantee.
Installation Notes
Reinforcing and Rivet Nuts:| No frame reinforcement is required for
doors up to 200 lbs. For doors between 200 and 450 lbs, a 16 gauge channel in
the frame is required. For doors greater than 450 lbs (600 lb max.), rivet
nuts are required in the frame in addition to the frame reinforcement.
---|---
Doors:| For doors up to 200 lbs, no door reinforcement is required. For
doors, greater than 200 lbs (up to 600 lbs), a 16 gauge channel in the door is
required. This is applicable for both TEK screw and through-bolt
installations.
Pair of Doors with Mullions:| If the mullion is between the doors, treat
it as a single door installation. If the mullion is behind the doors, treat
like a double door installation.
Determine hinge length.
All standard hinge lengths are supplied slightly shorter than nominal door
height to avoid threshold or carpeting clearance problems. All uncut
hinges are templated and non-handed. Use the same model for both left and
right-hand openings.
1a If the hinge is taller than the door, the hinge must be cut to match
the door height. The hinge must not be taller than the door height.
1b If cutting is required, mark a line on the cover and both ends of the
hinge.
The hinge should be cut equally from both ends to keep the bearings in the
middle.
Cut hinge (if necessary).
2a Fold hinge so the channel is up.
2b From each end, cut along a line through the entire hinge.
2c Cut cover to the same length as a hinge.
2d Debur all cut edges with a file.
Mark frame hole locations.
3a Open hinge and place frame leaf flat against the surface of the frame,
leaving a 1/8” gap between the top of hinge and frame header. The Lip of the
frame leaf should be flush against the edge of the frame.
3b Mark center of each hole using a center punch.
Mount hinge to frame.
4a Use #12-24 x 3/4” self-drilling tapping screws to fasten the frame leaf of
the hinge to frame.
#16 pilot drill is recommended for all holes.
Position door.
5a Tape 1/8” shims to top edge of the door at each corner for spacers.
5b Position door against stops and leave it resting on the threshold, with a
thin pry bar placed underneath. Shift door so the lockside edge is wedged
snugly against the frame, top to bottom.
If necessary, use shims between the door and hinge side of the frame to
keep the door wedged safely in position.
For double doors, mark the exact middle of the frame header, and push the
two doors together at their meeting edges with the top corners directly
under the mark. Wedge hinge sides as above.
Mount door to hinge.
*For through-bolt application only, skip ahead to 6h-6k.
If lock side clearance is satisfactory, insert remaining screws into round
holes.
For through bolt applications only
h. When the door is aligned, mark all locations for through bolts in round
holes on the hinge. Eight through bolts are provided and it is recommended to
install at least one on each end of the hinge if choosing to use through bolt
installation option.
i. With the hinge still mounted to the frame, remove the door from the opening
and drill the through bolt holes all the way through the door with
9/32″ drill bit.
For the remaining round holes, TEK screws will be used. A #16 bit is
recommended to drill pilot holes.
DO NOT DRILL TEK SCREW HOLES THROUGH THE DOOR.
j. On the push side of the door only, enlarge the through bolt holes using a
13/32″ bit. For wood or composite doors, only drill the through bolt
holes 1-1/2″ deep.
k. Secure door to hinge with 1/4″-20 screws and through bolts.
Install TEK screws in pilot holes and tighten evenly.
Install door leaf cover.
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid denting the cover edges or
surfaces.
This cover is vandal-resistant and non-removable, and should not be
installed until the door is operating properly.
7a Close the door
7b Position the inner lip under the curved hook near the hinge joint of the
door leaf, making sure it is in place from top to bottom.
7c Align cover with top of the hinge and use a light hammer tap against a
cushioning woodblock to snap it in place from top to bottom.
