[DePenelope]

To determine the correct size of the SELECT HINGES SL48 Concealed Geared Continuous Hinge for your door installation, accurate door clearances are essential. Here’s a breakdown of the calculations based on the instruction manual:

1. Single Door Square Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance 5/16"
   • Latch side clearance 1/8"
   • Frame variance clearance 1/32"
   • Total Width Clearance 15/32"

2. Single Door Beveled Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance 5/16"
   • Latch side clearance 1/8"
   • Frame variance clearance 1/32"
   • Beveled edge clearance 1/32"
   • Total Width Clearance 1/2"

3. Double Doors (Pair) Square Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance 5/8" (5/16" x 2)
   • Latch side clearance 3/16"
   • Frame variance clearance 1/16" (1/32" x 2)
   • Total Width Clearance 7/8"

4. Double Doors (Pair) Beveled Edge:

   • Hinge side clearance 5/8" (5/16" x 2)
   • Latch side clearance 3/16"
   • Frame variance clearance 1/16" (1/32" x 2)
   • Beveled edge clearance 1/16"
   • Total Width Clearance 15/16"

For each scenario, subtract the Total Width Clearance from the frame opening width to determine the correct door width. Remember to consider your door edge type (square or beveled) and whether you have a single door or a pair. Following these steps ensures you select the correct SELECT HINGES SL48 Concealed Geared Continuous Hinge size, leading to a successful and properly functioning door installation.
