Continuous Hinges

How to install a continuous hinge? 

Installing a continuous hinge can be a bit challenging, but it is a great way to ensure a smooth and secure operation for doors or panels that need to be opened and closed frequently. Here are the steps to install a continuous hinge:

1. Measure the length of the door or panel that needs a continuous hinge. Purchase a continuous hinge that matches the length of the door or panel.

2. Remove the old hinges from the door or panel if necessary. Ensure that the surface of the door or panel and the frame are clean and free of any debris or dirt.

3. Align the continuous hinge along the edge of the door or panel. Make sure it is straight and flush with the edge.

4. Mark the locations of the screw holes on the hinge onto the door or panel using a pencil or marker.

5. Pre-drill the screw holes in the door or panel. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screws that will be used.

6. Place the continuous hinge back onto the door or panel and align the screw holes.

7. Insert screws into the pre-drilled holes and tighten them using a screwdriver or drill. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, as this could cause the hinge to warp or bend.

8. Test the operation of the door or panel by opening and closing it several times. Ensure that it opens and closes smoothly and that the hinge is securely attached.

9. If necessary, adjust the position of the continuous hinge by slightly loosening the screws and repositioning the hinge until it operates smoothly.

10. Once you are satisfied with the installation, use a marker or touch-up paint to cover any exposed screw heads or marks on the hinge.

That's it! With a little patience and attention to detail, you should be able to install a continuous hinge on your door or panel with ease.
