The nomograph below has
been developed to assist you in
determining the correct size and
number of hinges for your installation.
If the information you need is not
on the chart, consult the factory.
The general rule used to determine
the number of hinges is:
Every door should be provided
with at least one hinge for every
30 inches in height or portion
thereof; however, more hinges
may be required per chart below.
For example, a 90" door needs three
hinges and a 91" door needs four.
EXAMPLE
A wood door 30" wide, 200 lbs.,
with a thickness of 1¾" will require
four #218 SOSS Invisible Hinges.
The red line shows how the sizing
and selection were determined
from the nomograph.
NOTE: For Fire-Rated Hinges, use formulas described on page 38.
DIRECTIONS
After determining the weight and
width of the door, draw a straight
line through the door width and
weight to line “A”, as indicated in the
example. Continue with a horizontal
line sideways from the point of
intersection with line “A” until the
door thickness is reached. Use the
number of hinges and the model
number indicated on this line.
To use this chart as a working
guide, we suggest that you
photocopy this page.
