Delaney 4" x 4" Residential Hinges for Castlegate, 5/8" Radius x Square (Pair)

These are spring hinges, so they close the door on their own without a separate closer. The Castlegate 4 x 4 is a 3 knuckle spring full mortise hinge built for automatic closing, which is what most codes and insurers want on a garage-to-house door or a stairwell door in a residence. Sold as a pair, two hinges to the box. On a heavier or taller door many installers run a spring hinge plus a plain hinge in the third position; the spring tension does the closing work, the other hinge carries load.

Yes. The Castlegate 4 x 4 spring hinge is UL listed for use with fire rated doors, which is the reason it gets specified on the door between a garage and living space in multi-family and single-family work. That listing covers the hinge itself; the rest of the opening (door, frame, and latching) has to carry its own rating for the assembly to hold.

Handing matters on this one. The Castlegate 4 x 4 spring hinge is ordered as either Left Hand or Right Hand, and every finish is offered both ways: 619 Satin Nickel, US26D Dull Chrome, and 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed each come in a left and a right. Stand on the outside of the door, the side you push from; the side the hinges are on tells you the hand. Get it wrong and the spring winds against the swing.

The Castlegate 4 x 4 is a residential-duty steel hinge at 0.106 inch gauge, and it is a spring hinge, not a bearing hinge. That suits an interior or garage-passage door in a house or apartment. For a commercial entry, a leasing office door, or any opening seeing constant traffic, step up to a bearing hinge: the Ives 3CB1HW is a heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge, and the Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2. Spring hinges wear their springs; bearing hinges are what you want under a real cycle count.

The Orca Hardware 4 x 4 square corner plain bearing commercial hinge covers the same 4 by 4 mortise without the spring, and the Orca Hardware 4 x 4 x 1/4 radius corner plain bearing hinge covers it with a 1/4 inch radius corner. Both are medium duty plain bearing hinges. The Delaney Castlegate hinge is a 3 knuckle spring full mortise hinge built for automatic closing of doors, so dropping to a plain bearing hinge means the door stays where you leave it and any closing has to come from a closer. Match the corner cut in the existing mortise: square, 1/4 radius, and the Delaney 5/8 radius by square are three different preps.

The Delaney Castlegate 4 x 4 is UL listed for use with fire rated doors and is a spring hinge for automatic closing of doors, which is the pairing a fire door assembly needs on a residential opening. Where the door is 4-1/2 inch prepped and heavier, the Stanley Security 2060R full mortise square corner spring hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 is the heavy duty spring option. A plain bearing hinge such as the Orca Hardware 4 x 4 square corner is not a self-closing hinge and would need a closer to hold the door closed.

The Stanley Security 2060R full mortise spring hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 with square corners is the closest match when the door prep is 4-1/2 rather than 4 inch. Both are full mortise spring hinges that close the door on their own, so the function carries over; the Delaney Castlegate hinge is 4 by 4 with 5/8 radius by square corners in 0.106 inch steel, and the Stanley is a ferrous steel base square corner hinge rated heavy duty. Confirm the existing mortise depth and corner cut on the door before ordering the larger size.

For a 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 prep, the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge pair with square corners in plated steel and the Deltana DSB35 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 square residential hinge pair both drop into that mortise, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 3.5 by 3.5 square corner plain bearing mortise hinge comes as a pack of three for a full door. The Delaney Castlegate hinge is 4 by 4 and will not fill a 3-1/2 inch mortise without re-routing the jamb and door edge. None of those three are spring hinges, so if the door has to self-close you would add a closer.

The Castlegate 4 x 4 is a residential grade hinge in 0.106 inch steel with a 3 knuckle spring barrel. For a door cycling all day, the Ives 3CB1HW steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles or the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 are heavy duty ball and concealed bearing hinges built for that duty level. Note the trade: those are not spring hinges, so a self-closing commercial opening needs a door closer paired with them.

No, that calls for an electrified hinge. The Command Access ETH-CB70 energy transfer hinge is a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base hinge, medium duty, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12 wire quick connect. If you also need the door position reported back to the panel, the Command Access ETM-CB70 energy transfer monitor hinge adds door position sensing on a 3 knuckle steel base. The Castlegate hinge is a mechanical 3 knuckle spring hinge with no conductor path.

Screws are in the box. Each pair of Castlegate 4 x 4 hinges is packed with both wood and metal screws, so you are covered whether you are hanging into a wood jamb or a hollow metal frame. Nothing else to add for a straight replacement.

They share the 4 by 4 size and the 5/8 radius corner, so they suit the same mortise, but they are different hinges. The Deltana DE44R5TA is a security hinge with TT in steel, sold as a pair. The Delaney Castlegate is a 3 knuckle spring full mortise hinge in 0.106 inch steel made for automatic closing of doors, UL listed for use with fire rated doors, and packed with wood and metal screws. Choose the Deltana where the concern is the door being lifted off its pins from the outswing side, and the Delaney where the door has to close itself.

The Deltana CSB45N 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square hinge pair with a non-removable pin and the Hager BB1168 non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge both address a pin that can be pulled from the secure side. Both are 4-1/2 inch class hinges rather than the Castlegate 4 by 4, so check the mortise size, and neither is a spring hinge, so self-closing would come from a closer instead.

The McKinney MP79 MacPro is a 5 knuckle standard weight full mortise hinge; the Delaney Castlegate is a 3 knuckle spring full mortise hinge in 0.106 inch steel, sold as a pair with wood and metal screws. The knuckle count changes the barrel appearance on the door edge, and the spring is the functional divide: the Castlegate pulls the door shut on its own, the MP79 leaves the door where you set it. For a look-alike 5 knuckle in the MacPro family, the McKinney MPB79 is also a standard weight 5 knuckle hinge.

The Castlegate hinge covers 4 by 4 openings in satin nickel 619, US26D dull chrome, and 613 satin bronze oil rubbed. Where a door needs a taller leaf, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge is 5 by 4-1/2 in steel with a satin chrome finish, and the Don-Jo HWBB85045 is 5 by 4-1/2 brass in satin chrome. Both are heavy duty ball bearing hinges rather than spring hinges, so doors that must self-close still need a closer on those leaves.

No. The Castlegate 4 x 4 is a full mortise hinge, which means both leaves recess into the door and the frame. Where only the frame is mortised and the leaf must surface mount to the door, the Hager 1129 half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge in 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel is the corresponding half mortise design. Where nothing is mortised, the Hager 990 STEEL full surface hinge is 3 by 4 with a welded tip. Confirm which prep the opening actually has before ordering.

Three finishes: 619 Satin Nickel, US26D Dull Chrome, and 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed. 619 and US26D both read as brushed silver, but they are not the same finish, so match to what is already on the lever or deadbolt rather than eyeballing it. 613 is the dark oil-rubbed bronze. All three are available in both hands.

Steel, at 0.106 inch gauge, with the finish plated over it. If you need a non-ferrous hinge for a coastal or wet location, the McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous standard weight 5 knuckle hinge and is the direction to go instead.

The Hager 920 full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge is a 2 knuckle steel hinge, and the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2 knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2. Both give a cleaner barrel than the 3 knuckle spring barrel on the Castlegate 4 x 4. Neither is a spring hinge, and the McKinney is a 4-1/2 inch leaf, so check both the mortise size and whether the door still needs to close on its own.

Not in the same mortise. The Deltana DSB3 is a 3 by 3 square hinge pair, while the Castlegate is 4 by 4 with 5/8 radius by square corners. The DSB3 suits lighter interior doors already prepped at 3 inch. If the opening is 3-1/2 inch, the Deltana DSB35 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 square residential hinge pair is the size in between.
