Advanced Hospital Tips Full Surface

ABH Advanced Hospital Tips (AHT) are designed for use in behavioral health facilities, hospitals, correctional facilities or any institution where there are ligature risks. While most hospital tips are designed to work only in the closed position, the AHT works whether the hinge is open or closed. Each AHT has been designed to work with the specific hinge needed for the door and frame application at hand.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULL SURFACE HINGES

A210HD, A570HD & A571HD

  • A. All uncut standard length hinges are non-handed and can be used for right or left hand doors.
  • Standard length hinges are supplied slightly shorter than nominal door height to accommodate threshold and carpeting clearances.

CUTTING THE HINGE TO FIT

  • Keep hinge in the closed position. If necessary remove door/frame leaf caps.
  • Cut one end of the hinge only. The hinge must be installed with the cut end at the bottom to keep the templated hole pattern at the top.
  • Use a Metal Cutting Saw cut through the gear cap first.

Note: If cut length interferes with a set screw bearing remove it and switch it with a plain bearing above the cut location.

ATTACHING THE HINGE TO THE FRAME

  • 1. Shim the hinge to be 1/8" below the header.
  • 2. Hold hinge in the open position and align frame leaf withe the inner edge of the door frame.
  • 3. Mark or Center Punch hole locations: two holes at the top and two at the bottom.
  • Using the provided Self Drilling/Thread Forming Screws please proceed to fasten the frame leaf in marked holes.

Note: If using wood screws drill a 5/32" pilot hole.

PREPARE THE DOOR

  • 5. Position Door in the opening and shim for proper clearances.
  • 6. Align the top end of the hinge to be absolutely flush with the top of the door.
  • 7. Mark the four LOCATOR HOLE locations (shown on template) using the provided small center punch.

  • 12. Remove door and use a 3/8" drill bit to drill holes at marked locations

ATTACHING DOOR TO THE HINGE

13. Fasten the door to door leaf using the provided sex bolts and shoulder screws

Note: Always install the shoulder screws on the secured side of the door

14. Mark or Center Punch the remaining frame leaf hole locations. Using the provided flathead or pan head self drilling/thread forming screws completely fasten the frame leaf.

  • 15. Line up the end of the door leaf cover with the top end of the hinge
  • 16. Starting at the top, apply pressure along the length of the cover and snap into place as you go down the length of the hinge.
  • 17. When the cover is on tighten the set screw to secure it.
  • 18. Install the frame leaf cover by first hooking it onto the outside edge of the frame leaf.
  • 19. Starting at the top, apply pressure along the length of the cover and snap into place as you go down the length of the hinge.

Note: If using a hammer, use a block of wood to protect the cover.

REINFORCING AND RIVNUTS

  • No reinforcing is necessary except on extremely high-frequency, extremely heavy or extra-wide doors.
  • Rivnuts are recommended for use in the frame when the door exceeds 450lbs.

Note:RIVNUTS are not to be used with Fire Rated Hinges

GROUT/SLUSHED-IN FRAMES
