Continuous Architectural Hinges are an ideal solution for many applications. They offer improved security and are ideal for high-traffic commercial and public environments such as schools, hospitals and hotels. With fewer sharp edges and a reduced risk of injury, these hinges ensure a safe environment for school pupils, hotel guests, hospital patients and others.

These particular hinges are an increasingly popular solution for hanging architectural doors, whether they’re timber or steel, particularly in arduous high security or vandal-proof applications.

The hinges are designed to cover the full length of the door in either straight or staggered lines. Configuration fixing holes can be fitted with either wood or machine screws, as well as a variety of other tamper proof fasteners. These fasteners are beneficial in public areas preventing anyone from disassembling or vandalising the public property.

Due to the fact Phoenix Architectural Continuous Hinges fit to the full length of a door, they offer better weight distribution increasing the maximum load capacity. This makes them an ideal candidate for heavy doors and arduous applications.

Constructed from stainless steel for maximum strength, our continuous architectural hinges are available in both a satin and bright polished finish. This means the hinges have a robust and sturdy design without compromising their aesthetically pleasing look. The stainless-steel design means the hinges have a high corrosion resistance making them ideal for rigorous environments.

Phoenix Architectural Continuous Hinges can also be bought in conjunction with our Fire Door Kits making them good options for use in commercial applications where a fire door is required.

Fire tested to BS476 (60 minutes) and to the latest standard BS EN 1634: 30 minutes and 60 minutes. 56015 and the 56016 models are the highest security options having been fire tested and also offering clients the reassurance of the BS EN 1935 approval. Grade 14 (160kg), plus the latest grade 15 (200kg).

CE marked and CERTIFIRE approved.

Continuous Hinges’ anti-vandal design means the hinges have fewer gaps and therefore no weak points where they can be forced open. This supports the fact they are increasingly popular in arduous and secure environments.

Special Phoenix Continuous Hinges are an important part of the company's business. By using continuous hinge as the basic product it is often possible to avoid over 90 percent of the tooling cost that would be incurred by tooling a completely special product. Whether you are after a minor modification or a high volume special, by forwarding your design application to our engineers we can examine the options and quote you for the best solution.
