SELECT Advantages
SELECT Hinges — for application on wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames — will outperform most entrance components by distributing door weight along the full length of the doorframe. No mortising is necessary, and the self-aligning shoulder on the jamb leaf and flange on the door leaf on some models make it practically impossible to hang a door incorrectly.
All SELECT Hinges are 90-minute fire rated. However, for a minimal additional charge, nearly all hinges are available with a 3-hour fire rating. This significant rating increase results from a patented process which eliminates the need for installing additional pins or studs. All hinges with fire rating are approved for positive and negative pressure. SELECT’s patented process saves the cost of purchasing and installing additional components to attain a 3-hour fire rating, eliminating liability worries.

Anodizing after machining
Delivers superior wear, durability and life and inhibits corrosion. Few hinge makers follow SELECT’s lead in using this superior manufacturing process.
Consistent templating
SELECT Hinges line up perfectly, every time. Hole pattern is identical on both Standard and Heavy Duty models — a SELECT benefit not all hinge makers offer.
