What door clearances are needed for installing the SL48 Concealed Geared Continuous Hinge?

[VanRuby]

To ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation of your SL48 Concealed Geared Continuous Hinge, it's crucial to calculate the correct door clearances. Here's a breakdown of the clearances you'll need, based on your door configuration:

For a Single Door with a Square Edge:

• Hinge Side Clearance: 5/16"
• Latch Side Clearance: 1/8"
• Frame Variance Clearance: 1/32"
• Total Width Clearance: 15/32"

For a Single Door with a 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"

For Double Doors (Pair) with Square Edges:

• 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"

For Double Doors (Pair) with Beveled Edges:

• 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"

To calculate each door width, subtract the Total Width Clearance from the frame opening width. Then, for double doors, divide the result by 2. Consulting the SL48 instruction manual can also provide further guidance.
