Medium Duty Continuous Piano Hinges
Benefits of using a Medium Duty Continuous Hinge
They offer the same basic functionality as traditional butt hinges, however, there are some significant differences that make continuous hinges the perfect choice for a variety of applications.
Improved Safety
Medium Duty Continuous Hinges have the distinct advantage of being suitable for use in environments where safety and security are a key concern. The design of these hinges makes them ideal for public and high traffic areas such as hospitals, schools, and hotels.
These hinges, when used with finger protection devices, are particularly popular for environments where children are present, they remove the possibility of fingers getting caught in the door from the hinge knuckle side. As well as this, thanks to the reduced ligatured design, these hinges present fewer sharp edges reducing the possibility of other injuries.
Enhanced Security
They have become increasingly popular in secure and arduous environments due to their anti-vandal design. These hinges offer no weak points and provide fewer gaps making them extremely difficult to force open. This also means improved security.
Common applications
Fire Doors
Medium Duty Continuous Hinges are a fantastic solution for many architectural door applications. Where indicated, these can be used in conjunction with our Fire Door Kits, offering high performance and more stability than traditional hinges.
Commercial Building
Continuous hinges are the ideal solution for offices, hotels, hospitals, and schools. They provide a robust, reliable heavy-duty solution where safety and security are required. In addition to this, doors that use them retain their functionality for longer, this is because each leaf in the continuous hinge design operates the same way, which minimalises the effort required to open and close doors/lids.

Other finishes are available by request.
