Durability:
The standard 700 Series pin and barrel continuous hinges features twin self lubricated nylon bearings with a stainless steel pin
The CS Series includes medical grade, patented nylon winged bearings. They also include the XY adjustability feature which allows for better door alignment during installation
Ease of install:
Ives standard 700 Series pin and barrel continuous hinges can be cut to length during installation. The unique mounting pattern allows to cut up to 6" from bottom while still having double row fasteners. If cut more than 13.5", other modifications may be necessary
The CS Series of stainless steel hinges can be cut to size in the field. For aftermarket installations, horizontal slots in the leaves allow for lateral adjustment after the door has been secured to the frame
Only available on 700CS, the Thru Wire Panel design for full mortise applications (TWP) easily mounts and removes from mortise side of door with no need to remove cover or pull from opposite side of door
Aesthetics:
The CS Series patented covers hide the unsightly pin and barrel of the standard pin and barrel hinges, giving the CS Series continuous hinge a stylish appearance to accompany heavy duty performance
Warranty:
Ives continuous hinges carry a limited lifetime warranty with exception of electrified continuous hinges, which carry a 12-month warranty from time of shipment. Learn more at us.allegion.com/warranty
