Deltana DE44058TA 4" x 4" x 5/8" Radius x Square Hinge, Sec/ Loc. Tab, Steel (Pair)

The DE44058TA is a 4 x 4 inch full mortise hinge with one 5/8 inch radius corner leaf and one square corner leaf. That combination drops into a router-cut jamb mortise (5/8 inch radius, the standard residential template) paired with a square-cut door edge mortise. If both your jamb and door mortises are square, you want a square x square hinge instead; if both are radiused, you want radius x radius.

The security/locking tab is an interlocking stud and hole on the two leaves: when the door is closed, the tab engages so the door cannot be lifted off even if the pin is driven out. It is not a non-removable pin hinge, and the DE44058TA is not supplied with NRP. The practical difference is that the tab only protects while the door is shut, which covers the out-swing exterior door problem the same way. If your spec calls specifically for NRP, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise hinge.

Residential, interior. The DE44058TA is a plain bearing steel hinge, which is right for interior passage and bedroom doors in a house or apartment. High-traffic commercial openings, entry doors and anything with a closer on it should be a ball or concealed bearing commercial hinge, such as the Delaney CH401X 4 x 4 commercial ball bearing square corner hinge or the Orca 4040 Series 4 x 4 square corner. For a residential exterior door, Delaney's RH45 series is a 4 x 4 exterior residential hinge with the same 5/8 inch radius corner.

Handing matters on this one because the corner profile is not symmetrical, radius on one leaf and square on the other, so left hand and right hand are separate orders. Stand outside the door, on the side it swings away from: if the hinges are on your left, it's left hand. Both handings come in all three finishes.

Not without recutting. The DE44058TA is 4 x 4 inches, so it needs a taller and deeper mortise than a 3-1/2 inch hinge and the screw holes will not line up. To match 3-1/2 inch mortises as-is, stay at that size, for example the Delaney RH35 series 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, or Emtek's 91013 residential plain bearing hinge in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 if your existing mortises are square cut.

The Deltana DE44058TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch full mortise steel hinge with 5/8 inch radius by square corners, plain bearing, sold as a pair for residential use. The Delaney RH40xx is the nearest match in the group: a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius by square corners, also sold as a pair, in the Castlegate Hinges series. If the door has 5/8 inch radius mortises already routed on one leaf and square on the other, both drop into the same prep.

No. The DE44058TA is a plain steel hinge with no electrical path through it. For power transfer through the hinge, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is an energy transfer hinge, 3 knuckle standard weight steel base, medium duty, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 is an energy transfer monitor hinge with door position sensing on a 3 knuckle steel base.

The DE44058TA is a residential steel hinge with a plain bearing and a .085 inch leaf thickness. For a heavier leaf, the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, and the Ives 3CB1HW is a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles, both rated heavy duty. Note the Don-Jo is 4-1/2 inch, so the mortise has to be lengthened from a 4 inch prep.

The DE44058TA is sold by the pair, so a typical interior door on three hinges takes two pairs and leaves you a spare, or order in pairs to cover a fleet of openings. Mounting screws are #10 x 3/4 inch wood screws, which suits a wood door and wood jamb. Nothing else is required to hang the door.

Leaf thickness is .085 inch, standard residential gauge. In a 4 x 4 mortise already cut for a typical residential steel hinge, it seats without deepening the pocket. Steel throughout, leaf and substrate.

A plain bearing hinge, which is what the DE44058TA is, runs metal on metal at the knuckle and is sized for the weight and cycle count of an ordinary interior door. Ball or concealed bearing hinges carry a bearing race between knuckles to handle heavier doors and far higher cycles, which is why they show up on commercial openings and doors with closers. For an apartment bedroom or hallway door, plain bearing is the correct spec; for a heavy solid core or a door on a closer, step up to something like the Emtek 94013 heavy duty ball bearing hinge or the Orca 3535 Series ball bearing commercial hinge.

No. It is a full mortise wood hinge shipped for #10 x 3/4 inch wood screws, so a hollow metal frame with tapped hinge reinforcements is the wrong application. For hollow metal, use a commercial full mortise hinge with machine screw prep such as the Ives 3CB1 concealed bearing full mortise hinge or the Hager 920 full mortise concealed bearing hinge.

No. The DE44058TA is 4 inch by 4 inch, and a 3-1/2 inch hinge leaves a half inch of open mortise top and bottom on a prep cut for 4 inch. The Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge, the Schlage Residential S3P1010, and the Delaney RH35xx are all 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch and suit doors already prepped at that size, not a 4 inch prep.

The DE44058TA uses a plain bearing, where the knuckles ride directly on one another. The Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, and the Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge, 2 knuckle steel, rated medium duty. Concealed bearing hinges hide the bearing inside the knuckle, which keeps the barrel looking like a plain hinge while carrying a bearing surface.

No. The DE44058TA security tab is a residential anti-lift feature on a 4 inch by 4 inch steel hinge. Detention openings use purpose-built hardware: the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge in the Detention Hardware series, the Stanley BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip.

The DE44058TA is a full mortise hinge, requiring a routed pocket in both the door and the frame. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch, standard weight steel, which mortises into the door and surface-mounts to the frame. For a fully surface applied leaf, the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch.

The DE44058TA has a standard barrel and comes in Zinc Dichromate, US3/4 and Prime Coat White. If the barrel is meant to be seen, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, rated standard duty. The square barrel and the larger 4-1/2 inch leaf both change the look and the prep.

The Deltana DE44058TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch plain bearing steel hinge in a residential build. For a standard weight 5-knuckle alternative, the McKinney MP79 MacPro is a full mortise hinge, 5-knuckle, standard weight, and the MPB79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle standard weight hinge as well. The Stanley FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge at 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch, which needs a longer mortise than a 4 inch prep.

The DE44058TA is a steel hinge, offered in Zinc Dichromate, US3/4 and Prime Coat White. The McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous hinge, standard weight, 5 knuckle, rated medium duty. Non-ferrous is chosen where a steel base is not wanted for corrosion or finish reasons, so running one non-ferrous and one steel hinge on the same door gives you two different base materials and two different finish behaviors over time.
