Continuous Geared Hinges

We proudly offer continuous geared hinges from SELECT Products, a trusted alternative to the well-known Hager Roton line. These hinges run the full length of the door, distributing weight evenly across the frame to reduce wear and tear.

  • High-traffic areas like schools, hospitals, and government buildings

  • Heavy or oversized doors

  • Doors that sag or misalign over time

Benefits:
