ACSI BB1191-4.5X4-32D-1182X4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ACSI BB1191 electric hinge work in any hinge position on the door, or does it have to go in a specific spot?
Center position only. The BB1191 through-wire hinge must be installed in the center hinge location on the opening, with standard hinges top and bottom. That is how ACSI rates the transfer, and it also keeps the wire loop where the door flexes least. Plan the frame and door wire raceways to land at the center hinge before the door gets hung.
2) How much current can the ACSI 1100 Series through-wire hinge carry, and what electrified hardware can it feed?
Rated for 3.5 amp continuous and 16 amp pulse, which covers electrified mortise and cylindrical locks, exit devices with electric latch retraction, electric strikes on pairs of doors, and locks with monitoring or request-to-exit switches. The 6 conductors let you run power one way and a monitoring or REX circuit back on the same hinge, which is why a 6-wire is specified over a 4-wire on a monitored opening.
3) Can I order the ACSI BB1191 with NRP (non-removable pin) for an outswing exterior door?
No. ACSI requires a NON-NRP hinge to do the through-wire modification, and once modified the hinge pin is not field removable. So you cannot spec a set screw NRP on the electric hinge itself. On an outswing door, the usual approach is NRP on the top and bottom standard hinges and the electric hinge in the center, where the pin is already captive after modification.
4) What sizes does the ACSI BB1191 through-wire hinge come in?
Two: 4-1/2 x 4 inch and 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch. The 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 is the common commercial square-corner size and is what you match if the existing hinges on the opening are 4-1/2 square. The 4-1/2 x 4 is used where the door leaf hinge mortise is the narrower 4 inch cut. Both are square corner, 5 knuckle, so the existing mortise prep carries over if it matches the size.
5) Is the ACSI BB1191 electric hinge fire rated and UL listed?
UL Listed, and it carries a UL fire rating on the steel and stainless electric hinges. The BB1191 is stainless steel, so it falls under that fire rating. It is built to ANSI A5133.
6) The door is heavy and needs an electrified hinge - is the BB1191 the right weight class?
The ACSI BB1191 is a standard weight hinge recommended for medium weight doors or doors requiring medium frequency service, so a heavy or high traffic leaf is outside what it is built for. For heavy weight full mortise duty the McKinney TCA3386 is a square corner five knuckle full mortise hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch rated heavy duty, the Stanley Security CB199 is a full mortise concealed bearing heavy weight hinge, and the BEST CB223 is a stainless steel concealed bearing heavy weight pivot reinforced hinge for beveled edge doors. None of those three carries wire through the hinge, so on a heavy opening with electrified hardware the usual approach is to hang the door on the heavy weight hinges and bring power across with a separate transfer device.
7) What hinge matches the BB1191 size and corner style for the other two positions on the same door?
The ACSI BB1191 must sit in the center position of the door only and its pin is not field removable once modified, so the top and bottom hinges on the same leaf are standard mechanical hinges in the matching size and corner. In 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner five knuckle form the Don-Jo BB74545 is steel, the Don-Jo BB84545 is brass in satin chrome, and the Don-Jo BB94545 is stainless steel with square corners; the McKinney TCA2314 and TCA2317 are both square corner five knuckle full mortise hinges at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2. For the 4-1/2 inch by 4 inch BB1191 the Don-Jo BB74540 is a full mortise ball bearing hinge in that size in satin chrome. Match the material and finish family to the electric hinge so the three knuckles read as one set down the door.
8) What is the equivalent hinge if the opening does not need current transfer through the hinge?
The ACSI BB1191 is a full mortise ball bearing standard weight commercial hinge whose defining feature is the concealed electric through-wire, with six wires carrying low voltage current to the electrified lock, exit device or switch in the door. If the opening has no electrified hardware in the door leaf, a standard full mortise ball bearing hinge in the same 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner five knuckle form covers it: the Don-Jo BB94545 is a stainless steel full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch with square corners, and the McKinney TCA2314 is a square corner five knuckle full mortise hinge in the same 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 size. Both carry the door on ball bearings the same way; neither passes wire through the barrel, so all power for the lock has to come from a door cord or an electric power transfer instead.
9) Can the BB1191 be used where the door has to swing clear of the opening for wheelchair access?
No. The ACSI BB1191 is a conventional full mortise hinge and is not ADA compliant, so it does not pull the door leaf out of the clear opening width. A swing clear hinge is the part that does that: the BEST CB248 is a steel full mortise concealed bearing swing clear hinge for square edge doors in medium duty, and the Hager 1260 is a full mortise swing clear hinge with a five knuckle plain bearing design in heavy duty. Both swing the door fully clear of the frame to recover opening width; neither carries wire through the hinge, so an electrified opening that also needs swing clear geometry takes a swing clear hinge plus a separate power transfer.
10) Which hinge holds up on a fire rated opening with electrified locking hardware?
The ACSI BB1191 is UL Listed with a UL fire rating on steel and stainless electric hinges, is rated for 3.5 amp continuous and 16 amp pulse, and is built to feed electrified mortise or cylindrical locks, exit devices with electric latch retraction, electric strikes on pairs, and locks with monitoring or request to exit switches. That combination of a fire rating and current transfer inside the hinge is what separates it from the mechanical hinges in its size class, such as the Don-Jo BB94545 stainless steel full mortise ball bearing hinge or the McKinney TCA2317 square corner five knuckle full mortise hinge, which hang the door but do nothing for the electrified hardware. On a fire rated electrified opening the BB1191 goes in the center position and the remaining two hinges are conventional.
11) Does the ACSI BB1191 hinge come with screws, or do I need to order fasteners separately?
Fasteners are included. The pack ships with 1/2 inch x 12-24 machine screws for the frame side and 1-1/4 inch x 12 wood screws, with 8 mounting holes in the hinge. What is not included is the wire, connectors, or the frame and door raceway prep, so budget for that on the electrified side of the job.
12) Should I use a through-wire hinge like the ACSI BB1191 or a surface door loop for power transfer?
Use the through-wire hinge when you want the transfer hidden. The BB1191 runs 6 conductors inside the hinge barrel, so nothing shows on the face of the door or frame and there is nothing exposed to vandalism or to catch on a cart. The tradeoff is prep: the door and frame both need to be drilled and raceways run to the center hinge location, and the pin is captive after modification so the hinge cannot be knocked apart for service. A surface loop is the retrofit answer when you cannot get the door out or cannot prep it.
13) How far in from the edge of the hinge leaf is the wire exit on the ACSI BB1191?
The distance from the leaf edge to the swag line is 1-7/8 inches. That is the number you need when you lay out the wire raceway hole in the door edge and the frame rabbet, because the hole has to land under the swag or the wire will not seat and the leaf will not sit flat in the mortise.
14) Is a concealed bearing hinge the same thing as the BB1191 ball bearing hinge?
They are different bearing constructions. The ACSI BB1191 is a ball bearing hinge with two ball bearings and a barrel that also carries six through-wires. A concealed bearing hinge hides the bearing inside the knuckle for an uninterrupted barrel line: the BEST 1900R is a steel full mortise concealed bearing standard weight hinge with a removable pin, and the Stanley Security CB1960R is a full mortise concealed bearing standard weight hinge, both medium duty. Those two match the BB1191 on weight class and full mortise mounting, but the visible knuckle profile differs and neither passes current through the hinge, which is the reason the BB1191 is specified in the first place.
15) What is the difference between a ball bearing hinge like the BB1191 and a plain bearing hinge?
The ACSI BB1191 runs on two ball bearings, the bearing type that takes the friction of a door that cycles often or carries weight. A plain bearing hinge has no bearings in the knuckle; the Hager 1279 is a full mortise plain bearing commercial hinge with five knuckles in medium duty, the Hager 1541 is a full mortise plain bearing residential hinge in stainless steel with a five knuckle design, and the Hager 1260 is a full mortise swing clear hinge with a five knuckle plain bearing design. Plain bearing hinges suit low frequency openings; on a door with a closer, an electrified lock, or steady daily traffic, the ball bearing construction of the BB1191 is what keeps the leaf from dropping over time.
16) The door needs extra clearance to swing past trim - will the BB1191 work?
The ACSI BB1191 comes in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch and 4-1/2 inch by 4 inch sizes, which is conventional throw and will not push the leaf far enough off the frame to clear deep trim or a wall return. The Hager WTBB1168 is a 4-1/2 inch by 6 inch full mortise ball bearing wide throw hinge in heavy weight with five knuckles, and the extra leaf width is what buys the swing clearance. It is a mechanical hinge only, so an opening that needs both wide throw and power into the door leaf pairs it with a separate transfer rather than substituting for the electric through-wire of the BB1191.
17) The door has a beveled edge - does the BB1191 suit it?
The ACSI BB1191 is a square corner full mortise hinge, cut for a square edge door prep. On a beveled edge door the BEST CB223 is a stainless steel concealed bearing heavy weight pivot reinforced hinge made for beveled edge doors, while the BEST CB248 swing clear hinge and the BEST FBB212 ball bearing pivot reinforced hinge are both built for square edge doors like the BB1191. Confirm the door edge before ordering, because the leaf geometry is what changes and a mismatch shows up at hanging, not at the mortise.
18) Will the ACSI BB1191 hinge rust on an exterior or washdown opening?
The BB1191 is stainless steel, which is what you want on an exterior entrance, a pool or locker area, or a coastal building. That is also why it holds the UL fire rating that applies to ACSI's steel and stainless electric hinges. If you are matching non-electrified hinges on the same frame in stainless, the Don-Jo BB94545 is stainless at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2.
