Deltana DE44R5TA 4" x 4" x 5/8" Radius Hinges, Security, TT, Steel (Pair)

The security feature here is an interlocking tab (the TT, or security/locking tab option), not a non-removable pin. The tab is a stud on one leaf that engages a hole in the other when the door closes, so the door stays pinned to the frame even if the hinge pin is driven out. The DE44R5TA is not supplied NRP. If your spec calls specifically for a set screw non-removable pin, the Hager BB1168 is offered as a non-removable pin full mortise hinge.

The DE44R5TA is a plain bearing hinge rated commercial. Plain bearing works where traffic is moderate and the door is not carrying a closer. If the opening is high traffic, has a door closer, or hangs a heavy door, go ball bearing: the Orca Hardware 3535 Series is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner ball bearing commercial hinge, and the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight ball bearing full mortise at the same 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 size.

Not without recutting. The DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch leaf, so it is half an inch taller and wider than a 3-1/2 inch hinge and the existing mortise will be short on both the door and the jamb. For a straight swap on 3-1/2 inch prep, look at a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 hinge such as the Orca Hardware 3514 Series plain bearing commercial hinge with 1/4 inch radius corners, or the Delaney 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 steel interior hinges with 5/8 inch radius if your corners are rounded.

The DE44R5TA has 5/8 inch radius corners, which will not seat correctly in a square-corner mortise. For square-corner prep at the same 4 inch by 4 inch leaf size, the Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge, matching the DE44R5TA on both size and plain bearing action. The Delaney CH401X is another 4 inch by 4 inch square corner option, built as a ball bearing commercial hinge rather than plain bearing.

The Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch full mortise steel hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners and plain bearings, rated commercial. The nearest radius-corner peer at the same leaf size is the Orca Hardware 4014 Series, a 4 inch by 4 inch plain bearing commercial hinge with 1/4 inch radius corners. Both are plain bearing and both are 4 by 4, so the frame prep leaf size matches, but the corner radius differs - 5/8 inch versus 1/4 inch - so confirm which radius the existing mortise was cut for before swapping.

The DE44R5TA uses plain bearings, which suit moderate-cycle openings. For higher cycle counts, ball and concealed bearing peers at commercial sizes include the Ives 3CB1HW, a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles, and the Don-Jo HWBB74545, a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Note the Don-Jo is a larger leaf than the DE44R5TA's 4 inch by 4 inch, so the frame and door mortise must be sized for 4-1/2 inch.

The DE44R5TA is a security hinge with a security/locking tab option, but it is not supplied with a non-removable pin. Where the specification calls specifically for NRP, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge. The tab on the Deltana interlocks the leaves so the door cannot be lifted off with the pin out, while the NRP approach instead prevents the pin from being driven out - confirm which method the spec on your job requires.

The DE44R5TA is a commercial security hinge with a locking tab, intended for standard commercial openings rather than detention-grade construction. For correctional work the comparable parts are the BEST BB855, a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge in the Detention Hardware series, the Stanley BB855 double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, and the Hager 990 STEEL full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip. Those are full surface or double weight designs, so the door and frame prep differs from the DE44R5TA's full mortise 4 inch by 4 inch pocket.

That is where it matters most. On an out-swing door the barrel and pin sit on the outside, so an intruder can tap the pin out and lift the door off. The interlocking tab on the DE44R5TA stops that: with the door closed, the tab holds both leaves together regardless of the pin. On an in-swing door the pin is protected anyway, so the tab is harmless but not doing much work.

No handing to specify. A full mortise butt hinge like the DE44R5TA is symmetrical and works on a left or right hand door; you just flip it. Handing only becomes a concern with hinges like the Stanley CECB1900R54L electrified hinge, which is ordered left-handed.

No. The DE44R5TA is a mechanical steel full mortise hinge with a security locking tab and no electrical path through the barrel. For power transfer through the hinge, the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base energy transfer hinge and the ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight version. If you also need door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect.

They share the 4 inch by 4 inch size and 5/8 inch radius corner profile, so they fit the same mortise, but they are not the same class of hinge. The Delaney RH45xx is a bulk residential exterior hinge, and the Delaney RH35xx is the same residential line at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch. The Deltana DE44R5TA is a commercial steel hinge carrying a security locking tab, which residential hinges do not include. For a door where the security tab is the reason the part was specified, the residential radius hinges are not a substitute.

Both are plain bearing steel hinges sold as a pair. The Emtek 92013 is a heavy duty plain bearing hinge at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners in plated steel, and the Emtek 91013 is the residential duty version at the same size and corner style. The Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners and a security locking tab. Size, corner profile, and the presence of the tab are the three things to check against your opening before choosing between them.

No. The DE44R5TA is a plain bearing full mortise hinge with no closing spring in the barrel; it needs a separate closer if the opening must self-close. The Stanley 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with square corners at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch on a ferrous steel base, which provides self-closing action from the hinge itself. Note the larger leaf size and square corner prep compared with the Deltana's 4 inch by 4 inch radius profile.

The DE44R5TA is full mortise, meaning both leaves mortise into the door and the frame. Where the frame cannot be mortised, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, keeping the same plain bearing action as the Deltana. For a fully surface-applied condition the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip.

The DE44R5TA covers the 4 inch by 4 inch opening with 5/8 inch radius corners in steel. For a smaller leaf, the Orca 3514 Series is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch plain bearing commercial hinge with 1/4 inch radius corners. Stepping up, the Orca 3535 Series is 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch with square corners and ball bearings, and the Stanley FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Mixing leaf sizes across a building means mixing frame preps, so settle on one size before ordering in quantity.

Polished brass over a steel base. The hinge body is steel, plated to a polished brass finish, so it matches brass lever sets and knobs on the same opening while keeping a steel hinge's strength. Bear in mind that a plated bright brass finish is usually specified for interior or protected openings rather than doors taking direct weather.

Not directly. The DE44R5TA is a full mortise hinge that mounts on the leaf edge of the door and jamb. The BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which mounts at the top and bottom of the opening and allows the door to swing both directions. The BEST CB1969R is a concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge, a hinge that works alongside a pivot set on heavy doors. Choosing a pivot changes the door and frame prep entirely, so it is a design decision rather than a drop-in swap.
