Pro Value Series Free Swinging Overlay Institutional Hinge, Screw-on Satin Chrome - H760.PDC

Pro Value Institutional Hinge For Overlay Doors

Pro Value Series free swinging overlay institutional hinge gives you a semi-concealed hinge solution for projects that need reliable swinging doors in institutional settings. The 2-3/4 inch five knuckle hinge design supports smooth door movement, which helps doors open and close without binding in everyday use. The hinge is designed for a 32 mm hole pattern, so it matches casework layouts built around that system and speeds layout on cabinets or institutional furniture using that spacing. A door thickness of 13/16 inch keeps the hinge targeted to doors in that range, which helps you match the leaf and knuckle relationship to typical institutional cabinet door builds. The satin chrome powder coated finish creates a consistent surface on the hinge, which contributes to a clean, uniform appearance on visible hardware. The Pro Value Series brand positions this hinge within a focused hinge line for institutional applications.

Key Hinge Details That Support Daily Use

• The 2-3/4 inch five knuckle hinge format spreads the pivot across more knuckles, which supports smooth swinging action on institutional doors over repeated openings.
• The hinge is designed for a 32 mm hole pattern, which aligns with common system boring in casework and simplifies aligning hinge mounting on cabinets laid out to that standard.
• The semi-concealed hinge class leaves part of the hinge visible while the rest sits against the door and frame, which provides a practical balance between appearance and access to the leaves during mounting.
• The hospital tip at the end of the hinge pin changes the profile of the tip, which helps address edge detail needs often specified in institutional environments.
• The .095 inch steel construction establishes the leaf thickness, which supports hinge strength and stability when the door weight and use match Grade 1 institutional expectations.
• BHMA/ANSI tested Grade 1 performance rating places the hinge in a rigorous test category, which supports use in high-cycle or demanding institutional door applications.

Installation Details For This Semi-Concealed Hinge

This Pro Value Series free swinging overlay institutional hinge is designed for screw-on installation, which lets you fasten it directly to the door and frame using recommended screw sizes. The design for a 32 mm hole pattern ties directly into system 32 layouts, allowing you to position the hinge using existing line boring on casework. A recommended door thickness of 13/16 inch keeps the leaf geometry and overlay relationship aligned with doors built to that thickness, which helps the door sit correctly in relation to the cabinet or frame. Recommended screws are #8 x 3/4 inch, providing a screw size and length that match the hinge leaf thickness and typical cabinet materials when used with predrilled pilot holes.

Using This H760.PDC Hinge In Real Projects

Where This H760.PDC Institutional Hinge Fits Best

The H760.PDC Pro Value Series free swinging overlay institutional hinge fits jobs that call for a semi-concealed hinge on doors around 13/16 inch thick, which aligns with many institutional cabinet and casework door builds. The overlay design lets the door cover part of the frame or cabinet side, so the hinge supports layouts where the door overlays the front instead of sitting flush inset. The hinge is classified as an institutional hinge, which ties it to projects such as institutional cabinets, storage, or similar casework expecting frequent door use. The satin chrome powder coated finish provides a neutral metallic look that suits many institutional interiors, supporting consistent visual alignment across hardware in the space. With a hospital tip pin and BHMA/ANSI tested Grade 1 designation, the hinge aligns with institutional specifications where hinge performance and tip profile are part of the hardware requirement.

Why These Hinge Details Support Consistent Alignment

The 2-3/4 inch five knuckle configuration on this hinge supports predictable pivot behavior along the door edge, which helps maintain consistent reveals when doors are hung square. The .095 inch steel leaf thickness provides a defined gauge that resists flex under typical institutional cabinet door loading, which helps keep door alignment steady over time. A 4.8 mm pin diameter sets the axis of rotation and pin strength, directly affecting how the door carries weight around the knuckle and helping maintain a smooth swing. The screw-on style allows you to position the hinge leaves precisely against the door and frame, which aids in fine adjustments to clearances during installation. The 32 mm hole pattern design lets you work with pre-bored system 32 casework, speeding layout and helping doors align uniformly across a run of cabinets. Together, these details support repeatable installations when multiple doors in an institutional project need to line up and operate consistently under daily use.
