Baldwin 1030 3" x 3" Mortise Square Hinge

The 1030 is a residential-duty hinge. At 3 x 3 it's sized for interior passage doors, closets, and lighter panels, not for solid core exterior or commercial openings. For commercial traffic look at a ball bearing hinge instead, such as the Orca Hardware 3535 Series 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner ball bearing commercial hinge, or the Ives 3CB1 three-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge in medium duty.

Every finish of the 1030 ships with a removable pin, so you can pull the pin and lift the door off the frame with the leaves still screwed in place. The pins are stainless steel, which keeps them from rusting or seizing in the barrel. If you need a hinge a pin can't be pulled from on a door swinging out, that calls for a non-removable pin hinge instead, like the Deltana CSB45N 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square hinge.

The Baldwin 1030 is built to a 3 inch by 3 inch leaf, so a 3-1/2 inch square pocket needs a hinge cut to that size. The Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square hinge for residential use, sold as a pair. The Emtek 91013 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch plain bearing hinge with square corners in plated steel, sold as a pair in Emtek's residential duty line. The Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three, which suits a door hung on three hinges in one order.

The Deltana DSB3 is a 3 inch by 3 inch square hinge sold as a pair, which is the same leaf size and the same square corner profile as the Baldwin 1030 3 inch by 3 inch mortise square hinge. Both drop into a square corner mortise with no corner chisel work and no router template change, so a 3 inch by 3 inch square pocket already cut for one takes the other. The difference is how they are packaged and finished: the Baldwin 1030 is ordered by individual finish code across twelve options including 003 Polished Brass PVD, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze and 190 Satin Black, while the Deltana DSB3 comes as a pair.

The Baldwin 1030 is classified for residential use in the Estate Series. For a commercial opening carrying traffic, the Orca Hardware 3535 Series is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty, and the Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge, also medium duty. The Delaney CH401X is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners. All three keep the square corner profile but step up in leaf size, so the jamb and door mortise have to be cut deeper and longer than the 3 inch by 3 inch pocket the Baldwin 1030 uses.

No. The Baldwin 1030 has square corners, which means the mortise is cut with sharp inside corners. A radius corner hinge has a rounded leaf that matches a router-cut pocket. The Delaney RH35xx is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch steel residential interior hinge with a 5/8 inch radius, the Delaney RH45xx is a 4 inch by 4 inch exterior residential hinge with a 5/8 inch radius, and the Orca 3514 Series is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch hinge with a 1/4 inch radius corner. Dropping any of those into a square pocket leaves a visible gap at each corner, and dropping a square corner hinge into a radius pocket means chiseling the corners out. Confirm the corner geometry in the existing door before ordering. The Delaney RH40xx is a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge offered in 5/8 inch radius and square, so corner style has to be specified there rather than assumed.

Every Baldwin 1030 3 inch by 3 inch square hinge is furnished with a removable pin, which can be driven out from the hinge side of the opening. Where the hinge barrel is exposed on the outside of an outswing door and that matters, the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge with a non-removable pin, sold as a pair. The Hager BB1168 is a full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge with a non-removable pin. The Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch security hinge with a 5/8 inch radius in steel, sold as a pair, so it needs a radius pocket rather than the square one the Baldwin 1030 takes.

Twelve finishes, and the point of the range is matching the knobs and levers already on the door: 003 Polished Brass PVD, 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 033 Vintage Brass, 050 Satin Brass Black, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 056 Lifetime PVD Satin Nickel, 060 Satin Brass and Brown, 102 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 112 Venetian Bronze, 190 Satin Black, 260 Polished Chrome, and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze. Those are Baldwin's standard finish numbers, so a 102 hinge matches a 102 lever across the rest of the Estate line.

The 1030 is built on solid brass. Baldwin's 056 Lifetime Satin Nickel, for example, is nickel plated over solid brass, which is what gives the hinge its weight compared with a plated steel residential hinge. It's also machined and beveled on the inside leaf so the leaves close tight against each other with no light gap when the door is shut.

The 1030 is ordered as a single hinge, one finish and one pin style per unit, so order the count your door needs rather than a pair count. Standard practice for a 3 x 3 interior door is two or three hinges per leaf. Note the difference against several alternatives sold by the pair, like the Deltana DSB3 3 x 3 square hinge, or by the set of three, like the Ives 1010RP residential square corner hinges.

Both are 3 x 3 square corner hinges, so both drop into the same mortise. The 1030 is Baldwin's Estate Series hinge on a solid brass body with a stainless removable pin and twelve architectural finishes. The Deltana DSB3 is from the DSB3 Series and is sold as a pair. If you're matching Baldwin Estate trim on the rest of the door, stay with the 1030 so the finish number lines up.

The Baldwin 1030 is a plain mortise square hinge and carries no conductor. Power transfer through the hinge takes a purpose-built electrified hinge. The Command Access ETH-CB70 is an energy transfer hinge with a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base at medium duty, and the ETH-BB68 is a 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base energy transfer hinge. Where the opening also needs door position status, the Command Access ETM-CB70 adds door position sensing on a 3 knuckle steel base and the ETM-BB68 carries an integrated door position switch at heavy duty. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect at medium duty. All of these are commercial hardware and are sized well above the 3 inch by 3 inch leaf of the Baldwin 1030.

The Baldwin 1030 is a square corner mortise hinge in Baldwin's Estate Series, machined for precise installation and beveled on the inside leaf for a tight fit when closed, with stainless steel rust-proof pins. Ball bearing hinges put bearings between the knuckles instead of running knuckle on knuckle. In square corners, the Emtek 94013 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch heavy duty ball bearing hinge in plated steel sold as a pair, and the Orca 3535 Series is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge at medium duty. Both are larger leaves than the 3 inch by 3 inch Baldwin 1030, so the choice changes the mortise size as well as the bearing type.

The Baldwin 1030 3 inch by 3 inch square hinge is ordered by individual finish code, across twelve finishes including 031 Non-Lacquered Brass, 055 Polished Nickel PVD, 260 Polished Chrome and 402 Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze, which lets a fleet be matched exactly to existing trim. Where the doors take a larger leaf, the Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners supplied as a set of three, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both are medium duty. The Delaney RH35xx and RH45xx are bulk residential hinges sold by the pair, at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch interior and 4 inch by 4 inch exterior respectively, both 5/8 inch radius.

The Baldwin 1030 is a plain square corner mortise hinge with a removable pin and no spring. To have the leaf return the door, the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with square corners in a 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch size on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. It keeps the square corner mortise profile the Baldwin 1030 uses but at a much larger leaf, so the pocket in both door and jamb has to be recut.

The 1030 is a full mortise butt hinge with a removable pin, so it isn't handed. The same hinge works on a left or right hand door; you just flip it. Handing only becomes a factor on hinges with a fixed feature such as a non-removable pin set for an outswing door or an electrified hinge wired for one hand, like the Stanley CECB1900R54L, which is specified left-handed.

The Baldwin 1030 3 inch by 3 inch square hinge is beveled on the inside leaf for a tight fit when closed and comes in twelve finishes, from 033 Vintage Brass and 050 Satin Brass Black to 112 Venetian Bronze and 060 Satin Brass and Brown, so the barrel reads as part of the trim package. For a different barrel profile, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2 knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, standard duty. The two knuckle square barrel is a distinctly different exposed edge from a conventional knuckle stack, and the 4-1/2 inch leaf is a larger mortise than the 3 inch by 3 inch the Baldwin 1030 takes.

No. The Baldwin 1030 is a square corner mortise hinge with a removable stainless steel pin and visible knuckles. A concealed bearing hinge hides the bearing inside the knuckle so the barrel looks plain from outside. The Ives 3CB1 is a 3 knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge at medium duty and the Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight steel version with 3 knuckles. The Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge with 2 knuckle steel construction at medium duty. Those are commercial full mortise hinges, while the Baldwin 1030 is a residential 3 inch by 3 inch square hinge, so they are not interchangeable in the same opening without changing the mortise.

No. The Baldwin 1030 is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves recess into pockets, one in the door edge and one in the jamb. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, which mortises into the frame on one leaf and surface mounts on the other. The Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip, heavy duty, which screws to the face of both door and frame. Neither uses the pair of mortise pockets the Baldwin 1030 needs, so swapping to one changes the door prep entirely.
