It is a waste of your time and maintenance budget to repeatedly repair chronically out-of-line doors. But what option do you have? You can’t jeopardize your building’s security.
So, you replace your problem door’s butt or pivot hinges … again and again and again.
That’s because butt and pivot hinges aren’t engineered to take months, let alone years of high-traffic use without wearing out. Fortunately, there IS a long-term solution. Not only can you end your hinge problems this year … but until long after you retire!
Fix your high-traffic door hinge problems for good.
Retrofit with a SELECT geared continuous hinge.
- Tested to last 60+ years in high-traffic entryways. A SELECT geared continuous hinge distributes stress the full length not just two to four points along the door so it performs problem-free for years. To prove its superior endurance we tested a SELECT hinge for 25,000,000 open/close cycles (equivalent to 60-years of high-traffic operation) and there was no measurable change to the hinge or door.
- Backed by our exclusive Continuous Warranty™ — that proven endurance deserves a warranty that never ends for a hinge that never quits.
- Reuse doors and frames. No need to start over when installing SELECT full surface, half surface and concealed geared continuous hinges.
- Hinges fit doors better and last longer because the matched leaves are manufactured, machined and anodized after machining — together.
- Consistent templating ensures hinge holes line up precisely which simplifies installation.
- Lifetime lubrication delivers quiet performance; eliminates periodic maintenance.
- Qualifies for LEED points. Hinges are made from up to 100% recycled aluminum and their durability reduces environmental impact.
- Ships in 48 hours. 99% of all SELECT hinge orders are "Geared to ship in 48 hours." You will be able to start improving your building’s security and cost savings in days, not months!
