Commercial Door Hardware for High Usage Environments

At FBH Architectural Security, we’ve installed thousands of doors and pieces of hardware across mid and southeastern Michigan, and when it comes to selecting the right continuous hinge for high-traffic or demanding environments, there’s one name that’s earned our confidence time and again: SELECT Hinges.

Whether we’re working in schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, or manufacturing plants, SELECT has become our go-to solution. Here’s why:

Made in Michigan and Built to Last

As a Michigan-based company ourselves, we’re proud to partner with a brand that also calls this state home. SELECT Hinges are 100% Made in the USA, which matters more than ever with global supply chain issues and tariff surcharges hitting the industry hard.

We’ve seen firsthand how SELECT’s local manufacturing translates into , consistently high product quality, and a level of craftsmanship you can’t get from offshore alternatives.

Real-World Results from Decades of Installs

At FBH Architectural Security, we’ve spent decades working with commercial doors and hardware in some of the most demanding environments across Michigan, from public schools and hospitals to municipal buildings and industrial facilities.

Over the years, SELECT continuous hinges have consistently proven themselves as one of the most durable, reliable solutions we install. They handle high traffic, heavy doors, and Michigan’s unpredictable climate with ease.

We trust them because they simply don’t come back to haunt us. When a SELECT hinge goes in, it stays aligned, performs as expected, and keeps maintenance teams happy, year after year.


 

“SELECT continuous hinges are one of the best solutions out there,  especially for schools. They’re built to handle the constant use and abuse that comes with high-traffic doors. We’ve recommended them on hundreds of projects, and they’ve consistently held up over time.”  —
Gary Ferrier,
Senior Door and Door Hardware Specialist, FBH Architectural Security (40+ years experience)

 

Built for Busy Environments

High-traffic buildings need hardware that won’t quit. SELECT’s geared continuous hinges are:

  • BHMA Grade 1 certified
  • Backed by a continuous lifetime warranty
  • Designed to eliminate door sag, binding, and alignment issues
  • Tested and proven to last for decades with minimal maintenance

Their hinges also ship out within 48–72 hours (even with electrical preps), which makes them ideal for time-sensitive retrofits or quick-turnaround projects.

Why Continuous Hinges Make Sense

If you’ve been dealing with sagging doors, repeated hinge failures, or doors that won’t stay aligned, especially in steel or aluminum frames, continuous hinges are the upgrade you’re probably overdue for.

They distribute the load of the door evenly from top to bottom, dramatically reducing wear and tear on both the hinge and the frame. That means less maintenance, fewer service calls, and doors that close the way they’re supposed to.

Serving Michigan Facilities That Can’t Afford Downtime

At FBH, we specialize in doors and hardware that need to work the first time, and keep working. If you’re a facility manager or maintenance lead in Michigan dealing with failing door hardware, we’ll help you upgrade the smart way, with SELECT Hinges.
