Ives products are made with high-quality materials such as stainless steel, brass, and aluminum for strength and durability. Material quality is foundational to reliable performance, and ives ensures through certification, inspection, and testing that all raw materials adhere to our brand’s standard of quality.

Ives offers an array of heavy-duty hinges, continuous hinges, and protection plates specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of government buildings, where security and durability are paramount. Our heavy-duty hinges are engineered to support substantial weight and withstand constant use, providing long-lasting reliability essential for high-security environments. The continuous hinges, available in both geared and pin-and-barrel designs, distribute the door's weight evenly along the entire length, reducing stress on the frame and enhancing durability. Additionally, our protection plates, crafted from robust materials like stainless steel and brass, shield doors from damage caused by frequent use, dirt, and chemicals. These components work together to create a resilient door system that maintains its integrity and functionality in even the most demanding settings. With Ives, government facilities can trust that their heavy doors will operate smoothly, ensuring both security and longevity.
