Continuous Hinge

Continuous hinges are made with two independent leaves. Generally they are 6 inches or longer in length but are otherwise similar to butt type hinges. With our extensive experience, we can provide custom hinges that meet a variety of industry specifications.


The hinge begins with a master coil of steel. The wide coil is cut on our cut to length line. After the blank has been cut, a knuckle is stamped into the steel before it is rolled to a centerline for each leaf. Holes are pierced according to print and pins are cut to match the hinge length. We produce this hinge in a variety of additional lengths and are capable of modifying many standard designs to create a custom hinge for a specific application.

The final hinge is assembled and the pin is welded to the hinge using a gas tungsten arc (TIG) welding process. The final assembly is painted according to military specifications. Dimensional tolerances on this hinge are held to as tight as ± 0.005″ at critical dimensions.

Military, marine and other specification grade hinges are manufactured at Delson Hinge.
