Deltana DASHCP Solid Brass Cover Plate for Deltana DASH95 Double Action Spring Hinge

Only the DASH95. The DASHCP is cut and drilled as an installation accessory for that specific Deltana hinge, so it will not line up on a Hager 1250, a McKinney 1502, or any other brand's spring hinge. If your opening uses a different hinge, the cover plate for it has to come from that hinge's own line.

The DASHCP is a solid brass cover plate made to trim out the Deltana DASH95 double action spring hinge, so it is matched to that hinge rather than to a hinge from another maker. If the goal is to replace the hinge itself rather than dress it, the cross-brand set runs to complete spring hinges: the Hager 1250 full mortise spring hinge in steel, the Hager 1150 full mortise spring hinge in stainless steel, and the McKinney 1502 square corner full mortise spring hinge at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches, all medium duty. Those are hinges in their own right and carry their own trim, so they are an alternative to the DASH95 assembly, not a source of a plate for it.

Corner radius has to match the prep, and the spring hinge lines split by radius. Orca Hardware offers the 4 by 4 inch square corner spring hinge SPR4040, the 1/4 inch radius corner SPR4014, and the 5/8 inch radius corner SPR4058, all medium duty. Hager splits the same way in the 12 series: the 1250 is the standard full mortise, the 1251 carries 1/4 inch round corners, and the 1252 carries 5/8 inch round corners, all standard weight steel. BEST covers both shapes as well, with the 2060R in square corners and the RD2060R in radius corners, each a plain bearing spring hinge with a removable pin.

Double action hinges swing both ways and are used on openings that are not labeled, so a fire door calls for a different family. The Design Hardware UL Spring Hinge is a medium duty UL spring hinge, and the Emtek 95013 is a UL listed plated steel spring hinge sold as a pair in 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches with square corners. For a concealed look on a labeled opening, the SOSS 216IC and SOSS 220IC invisible spring closer hinges carry a 20 minute fire rating and are heavy duty.

Yes. The DASHCP is brass trim that dresses an exposed DASH95, while the SOSS invisible spring closer hinges bury the mechanism in the door and jamb so nothing shows when the door is closed. The SOSS 218IC is a 7 inch heavy duty invisible spring closer requiring a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, and the SOSS 220IC is a 7 inch heavy duty unit requiring a 2 inch minimum door thickness with a 20 minute fire rating. Door thickness decides between them, since both need enough stile depth to take the mortise.

Priced and sold each, one plate per unit. Count your DASH95 hinges and order a plate for every one you want covered, then add the count for the second leaf if you are doing a pair of doors.

Eleven finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Paint Black, and Prime Coat White. Match the plate to the DASH95 hinge finish you specified, since the plate sits right against it and any mismatch reads immediately. Prime Coat White is the one to pick if the plate is getting painted out to the door or trim color.

A full mortise spring hinge with a conventional leaf needs no cover plate at all, because nothing is cut beyond the standard hinge mortise. The Hager 1150 in stainless or the Hager 1250 in steel, the McKinney 1502 at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches, and the Orca Hardware 4040 Series at 4 by 4 inches with square corners are all medium duty full mortise spring hinges. Deltana's DASH95 is a double action hinge, which swings both directions and is why it has a pocket the DASHCP is there to cover. Pick the double action route only when the door genuinely has to swing both ways.

Partition doors take a continuous spring loaded hinge rather than a pair of butt hinges with a trim plate. Pemko lists four for that use, each rated at 80 lb load capacity: the Markar FM400 series full mortise spring loaded continuous hinge, the Markar FM900 series, the FS402 series, and the Markar FS902 series in 304 stainless steel. Full mortise versus surface applied and the stainless option are the choices to make against the partition material.

The DASHCP is solid brass and comes in eleven finishes, including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Antique Brass and a Prime Coat White for painting to match. On the hinge side the materials run differently: the Emtek 95013 UL listed spring hinges are plated steel, the Hager 1150 full mortise spring hinge is stainless steel, and the Hager 1250 is steel construction. Brass takes the decorative finish range, while the steel and stainless bodies are the ones specified where the finish schedule is a plated or architectural coating.

BEST covers that directly: the 2060R is a plain bearing spring hinge with a removable pin in square corners at standard weight, and the RD2060R is the same plain bearing removable pin hinge with radius corners. Both are medium duty. The Deltana DASHCP is a plain bearing item as well, though it is the brass cover plate for the DASH95 rather than a pinned hinge leaf, so pin removability is a question for the hinge you pair it with.

Not directly. A double action spring hinge lets the door swing in both directions, and standard full mortise spring hinges such as the Orca SPR4040 4 by 4 inch square corner, the Orca SPR4058Z 4 by 4 inch 5/8 inch radius corner with a Z hole pattern, and the McKinney 1502 at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches are single direction hinges. Switching to one of those means the opening becomes a one way swing and the frame stop and prep have to suit it, so treat it as a change to the opening rather than a like for like hinge swap.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on a plated finish like Polished Chrome or Brushed Nickel, because the base metal under the plating is brass rather than steel and will not rust through if the plating gets scratched in a high-traffic doorway.

Classed commercial. Solid brass construction holds up to the handling a commercial swinging door sees, and the finish range covers both a plain painted service door and a finished front-of-house opening.
