Continuous Hinges & Butt Hinges in Flint, Michigan

Commercial Hinge Installation for Strength, Stability, and Long-Term Performance

Hinges do more than allow a door to swing open and closed. In commercial buildings, they carry the full weight of the door, absorb daily wear, and play a major role in alignment, safety, and hardware longevity. When hinges are undersized, worn, or incorrectly installed, doors begin to sag, bind, and place unnecessary stress on frames and hardware.

FBH Architectural Security provides professional continuous hinge and butt hinge installation in Flint for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. As a company founded in Flint more than 70 years ago, we understand how demanding local buildings can be on door systems and install hinges built to handle constant use.

Continuous Hinges for High-Use Doors in Flint

Continuous hinges, sometimes called full-length hinges, run the entire height of the door and are commonly used in environments where durability and alignment are critical.

Advantages of continuous hinges include:

• Even distribution of door weight
• Reduced stress on frames and hinge reinforcements
• Improved resistance to sagging and misalignment
• Longer service life in high-traffic areas

FBH installs continuous hinges for applications such as:

• Schools and educational facilities
• Hospitals and healthcare environments
• Industrial and manufacturing buildings
• Public and institutional spaces with heavy daily use

Continuous hinges are especially effective on heavy doors, fire-rated assemblies, and openings exposed to frequent impact.

Butt Hinges for Standard Commercial Applications in Flint

Butt hinges remain a common choice for many commercial door openings when properly specified and installed. FBH installs commercial-grade butt hinges suited for:

• Offices and administrative spaces
• Interior corridors
• Retail and mixed-use properties
• Light- to moderate-traffic openings

We select hinge size, bearing type, and material based on door weight, usage frequency, and environmental conditions to ensure reliable performance.

Precision Hinge Installation Matters

Proper hinge installation is critical to door performance. FBH’s process focuses on:

• Verifying door and frame preparation
• Reinforcing hinge locations when required
• Maintaining correct clearances and reveals
• Testing swing, latch, and overall operation

This attention to detail helps prevent uneven wear, hardware damage, and recurring service issues.

Commercial hinges must meet specific safety and performance standards. FBH installs hinges with consideration for:

• Fire-rated door requirements
