Installation of continuous hinge (cont...)  
 

Figure 1

Fitted between end faces of the door and frame

Care should be taken to ensure that the frame and door thickness are sufficient to take the selected continuous hinge between the end faces.

 

Figure 2

For 180 degree movement a minimum of half the overall hinge barrel diameter should protrude beyond the external face. This requires the thickness of the frame and door to be at least half the hinge open width ie: C/2

The outer edges of the hinge leaves should never protrude beyond the internal faces of the frameor the door.
