Healthcare facilities demand the highest standard of door hardware.

Buying Guide

1. Ligature Resistance: Patient rooms, bathrooms, and psychiatric areas require ligature-resistant hardware that eliminates anchor points. Look for continuous hinges with ligature-resistant caps.
2. ADA Clearance: All patient-accessible doors must provide minimum 32" clear width under ADA. Swing clear hinges are the most common retrofit solution to increase clearance without modifying the frame.
3. Cycle Rating: Hospital corridor doors can open and close hundreds of times per day. Specify hinges rated for 1,000,000+ cycles — continuous geared hinges or commercial ball-bearing hinges in heavy-duty grades.
4. Finish & Infection Control: 304 or 316 stainless steel is the standard for clinical environments. Avoid painted finishes that chip and harbor bacteria. Brushed stainless is easiest to wipe down.
5. Access Control Integration: Medication rooms, supply rooms, and secure areas typically require electrified hinges. Confirm wire gauge and connector type before ordering.
6. Fire Door Compliance: Corridor doors in healthcare facilities are typically fire-rated. Use spring hinges or door closers rated for fire door applications.
