Why Standard Pivots Fail Storefronts
Most business managers don’t know what “continuous hinges” are until their door drops. You call because of everyday failures caused by high foot traffic.
Dragging & Scraping Doors
Heavy glass storefront doors put immense torque on top and bottom pivot pins. Once they wear down slightly, the bottom rail drags across concrete or saddles, scraping floors and making it nearly impossible to lock at night.
Stripped Aluminum Screws
Traditional pivots rely on concentrated anchor points in aluminum frames. After thousands of slams and heavy winds in the D.C. area, those screw holes strip out entirely, causing the door to detach mid-swing.
The Permanent Fix: Continuous Hinges
Instead of replacing a broken pivot with the exact same fragile hardware, we install a full-length geared aluminum continuous hinge. Weight is distributed evenly from top to bottom, ending service calls permanently.
