Toilet Partition Geared Continuous Hinges

Calculating Required Door Clearances

IMPORTANT: All standard length SELECT hinges are supplied slightly shorter than nominal door height to avoid threshold or flooring clearance problems.

IMPORTANT: SL60 and SL62 hinges are non-handed and templated, and remain non-handed after cutting.

IMPORTANT: When installing Model SL62 Self-Closing Hinge, you must level or plumb the pilaster within + or - 1/8" to ensure complete door closure.

How to Cut the Hinge to Fit

• Keep hinge in "door closed" position (Fig. 1).
• B. Using a metal-cutting saw, begin the cut through the hinge cap first.

NOTE: DO NOT cut through a set screw bearing.

• C. Loosen set screws from sides of leaf covers with 5/64" Allen wrench (Fig. 1).
• D. Remove leaf covers by sliding them off uncut end of hinge.
• E. Reinstall any set screw bearing that may have been cut off.

A. Attach Hinge to Pilaster

NOTE: Remove leaf covers if not already removed. See step C above.

• Align hinge with door-side edge of pilaster or alignment line. If replacing pivots, center the hinge between pilaster's pivot cutouts.
• Locate top hole for the barrel nut in the pilaster. Keep hinge centered between pivot cutouts. Using a pencil or transfer punch, mark the hole.

NOTE: Hinge leaf should overlap pilaster by 1-1/2" to 1-5/8".

• 3. Remove hinge. Using 1/4" bit, drill top hole in pilaster.
• 4. Fasten hinge leaf to top of pilaster using a barrel nut and shoulder screw.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT fully tighten the one-way screw.

Square hinge to the pilaster. Locate bottom hole on the pilaster. Mark (or centerpunch) hole.

• 6. Drill the hole using 1/4" bit.
• 7. Fasten hinge leaf to bottom of the pilaster using a barrel nut and shoulder screw.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT fully tighten the oneway screws at this time. Do NOT drill remaining holes at this time.

B. Prepare Door

NOTE: If a door inset is required, use a continuous shim under the door leaf.

Place door in opening. Adjust for 1/16" to 1/4" clearance between the hinge edge of the door and the pilaster. If replacing pivots, center the hinge between door's pivot cutouts.

NOTE: Hinge leaf should overlap the door by 1-1/2" to 1-5/8" to allow 1/16" to 3/8" clearance on the latch side.

• 9. Locate top hole for the barrel nut in the door. Mark (or centerpunch) top hole.
• 10. Remove door from opening and lay it flat. Use 1/4" bit to drill the hole.

C. Attach Door to Hinge

Fasten the hinge door leaf to the top of the door using a barrel nut and shoulder screw

IMPORTANT: Do NOT fully tighten the one-way screw at this time.

• Square the door to the opening. Then locate the bottom hole for the door hinge leaf. Mark (or centerpunch) the hole.
• 13. Drill the hole using 1/4" drill bit.
• 14. Fasten hinge door leaf to the bottom of the door using a barrel nut and shoulder screw. Door should be centered in the opening and square to the pilaster.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT fully tighten the oneway screws at this time.

• 15. Check that the door and hinge are square and function properly. Use 1/4" bit to drill remaining holes through hinge into the pilaster and door.
• Install remaining barrel nuts and shoulder screws. Check door operation. If the door functions properly, fully tighten all screws.

D. Install Leaf Covers

• 17. Align leaf cover with top end of hinge.
• 18. Starting from the top and working downward, apply pressure to leaf cover to snap it into place (Fig. 2).

NOTE: If you use a hammer to tap cover into place, be sure to protect the surface of the cover from damage.

19. Tighten set screws with 5/64" Allen wrench.

NOTE: The door and pilaster covers can be removed and reinstalled.
