Continuous Hinges & Butt Hinges in Saginaw, Michigan

Durable Hinge Solutions for High-Use Commercial Doors

Hinges play a major role in how a commercial door performs over time. When hinges are undersized, improperly installed, or worn out, doors begin to sag, scrape, bind, and stress other hardware. In Saginaw’s commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings—where doors see constant use—hinge selection and installation directly impact safety, longevity, and maintenance costs.

FBH Architectural Security provides continuous hinge and butt hinge installation, replacement, and service in Saginaw. With more than 70 years of experience working with commercial door systems across Michigan, we help facilities choose hinge solutions that match traffic demands, door weight, and operational requirements.

Continuous Hinges for Commercial Doors

Continuous hinges—often called geared or piano hinges—run the full height of the door and frame. They are commonly used in high-traffic environments where durability and alignment are critical.

Benefits of continuous hinges include:

• Even weight distribution along the full door height
• Reduced stress on frames and hardware
• Improved door alignment over time
• Longer service life in heavy-use applications

Continuous hinges are frequently installed in schools, healthcare facilities, industrial buildings, and public-use entrances throughout Saginaw.

Butt Hinges for Commercial Applications

Butt hinges remain a standard choice for many commercial door openings when properly specified and installed. FBH installs heavy-duty commercial butt hinges designed for institutional use—not residential-grade products.

Common applications include:

• Office and administrative spaces
• Interior corridors
• Lighter-traffic commercial doors
• Fire-rated door assemblies

Hinge size, bearing type, and spacing are selected based on door weight, frequency of use, and fire-rating requirements.

Fire-Rated Hinge Installations

Fire-rated doors require listed hinges installed correctly to maintain compliance. FBH installs fire-rated continuous and butt hinges that support proper door operation without compromising the fire assembly.

We ensure:

• Hinges are rated for the door’s fire classification
• Installation maintains required clearances
• Door self-closing and latching functions properly

Hinge Replacement & Door Alignment Services

Worn or failing hinges are a common cause of door problems. FBH provides hinge replacement and door realignment services to correct issues such as:

• Sagging or dragging doors
• Uneven reveal gaps
• Loose or torn hinge mounting points
• Excessive wear from heavy traffic

Replacing hinges early can prevent more costly frame or door damage.
