Delaney 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Plain Bearing Hinge, US26D Dull Chrome Finish

It is a 5 knuckle plain bearing full mortise hinge in 0.134 inch steel. Plain bearing means there are no bearing races between the knuckles, so it suits lighter commercial interior doors and openings without a door closer. Put a closer on the door, or hang a heavy door in a high traffic corridor, and you want 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.

The Delaney CH4506 is a standard plain bearing hinge and is not an NRP hinge. On an outswing door where the barrel is on the secure side, you want a non-removable pin version so the pin cannot be driven out. Two NRP options: the Hager BB1168 NRP full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge, or the Deltana CSB45N 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square hinge with non-removable pin, which matches this same 4-1/2 inch square prep.

No. The Delaney CH4506 is a mechanical 5 knuckle plain bearing hinge with no wire path. For power transfer, the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base energy transfer hinge, the ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base version, and the Stanley CECB1900R54L is a 4-1/2 inch x 4-1/2 inch square corner steel full mortise concealed bearing hinge with a concealed 4-wire conductor in a left hand configuration. The Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch if you also need monitoring.

No. The Delaney CH4506 is a 4-1/2 inch x 4-1/2 inch hinge and needs a matching 4-1/2 inch mortise. For a 3-1/2 inch square corner plain bearing prep, the Emtek 91013 is a 3-1/2 inch x 3-1/2 inch residential plain bearing hinge in plated steel with square corners, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3-1/2 inch x 3-1/2 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge sold three to a pack.

Not for a radius prep. The Delaney CH4506 has square corners, which suits a mortise cut with a chisel or a square-corner router template. For a radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge, Orca Hardware offers a 4 inch x 4 inch x 1/4 inch radius corner plain bearing hinge and a 3.5 inch x 3.5 inch x 1/4 inch radius corner version, both medium duty. Corner geometry has to match the existing mortise or the plate will not seat.

Yes. The Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with square corners at 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. It matches the Delaney CH4506 on size, square corner, and steel construction, but the spring mechanism returns the door to the closed position, which the plain bearing CH4506 does not do.

The Delaney CH4506 is a full mortise hinge, which requires both the door and the frame to be mortised. Where the frame cannot be mortised, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch in standard weight steel, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3 inch x 4 inch with a welded tip, both heavy duty. Half mortise and full surface change the frame prep entirely, so confirm the jamb condition before ordering.

No. Each pack comes with both wood and metal screws, so the same hinge covers a wood door in a wood frame and a hollow metal door in a steel frame without a separate fastener order.

US26D is dull chrome, the satin chrome finish carried on the Delaney CH4506. It is the standard commercial match for satin chrome levers, closers and exit devices, and it reads as a close visual mate to satin stainless trim on the same opening. If your building is standardized on bright brass or oil rubbed bronze, this is not the hinge to match it.

Commercial. It is a full mortise steel hinge built at 0.134 inch gauge, which is heavier stock than a typical residential hinge. For comparison, the residential grade options run smaller and lighter, like the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge at 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches.

No handing to call out. A 5 knuckle full mortise hinge with a symmetrical square corner leaf works left or right hand, inswing or outswing. Handing only becomes an ordering decision on hinges with built in electrical or switch functions, like the Stanley CECB1900R54L, which is specified left-handed.

Staying at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square corner, the Orca Hardware 3535 Series is the ball bearing equivalent, and the Stanley FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge in the same 4.5 by 4.5 size. If the door needs to self close without a surface closer, the Stanley 2060R full mortise spring hinge comes in the same 4.5 by 4.5 square corner size.

Both. It is a full mortise hinge, meaning one leaf mortises into the door edge and the other into the frame rabbet, and Delaney packs it with wood and metal screws to cover either substrate. What it will not do is a half mortise or full surface application, where one leaf mounts flat to the door face. Those are different hinge types, such as the Hager 1129 half mortise or the Hager 990 full surface hinge.

The Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4 inch x 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty. It carries the same plain bearing and square corner combination as the Delaney CH4506, which is a 5 knuckle plain bearing full mortise hinge, but in the smaller 4 inch leaf for doors prepped at that size.

The Stanley Security FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge at 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch, matching the Delaney CH4506 on knuckle count, leaf size and full mortise mounting. The McKinney MP79 MacPro is another 5-knuckle standard weight full mortise option. The CH4506 itself is 0.134 inch steel with square corners and ships with both wood and metal screws.

They are both full mortise plain bearing steel hinges, but the knuckle configuration differs. The Hager 920 is a 2 knuckle concealed plain bearing hinge rated medium duty, so the barrel appearance and bearing placement are not the same as the Delaney CH4506, which is a 5 knuckle plain bearing full mortise hinge in 0.134 inch steel with square corners. If you are matching the look of existing 5 knuckle hinges down a corridor, the 920 will read differently on the door edge.

The Delaney CH4506 is a standard commercial full mortise plain bearing hinge and is not built for detention service. For those openings, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, the Stanley BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, and the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch x 4 inch x 5/8 inch radius security hinge in steel with tamper-resistant screws, sold in pairs.

The Delaney CH4506 is a steel hinge with a US26D dull chrome finish. Where a non-ferrous base is required, the McKinney T2314 is a non ferrous 5 knuckle standard weight hinge in medium duty, matching the CH4506 on knuckle count while changing the base material.

Only on an opening designed for it. The BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which lets the door swing both directions and carries the load at the top and bottom rather than along the hinge edge. The Delaney CH4506 is a full mortise hinge mounted in the door and frame edge for single direction swing, so the two are not interchangeable without changing the door and frame prep.
