Deltana DSB35R5-R 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 5/8" Radius Hinge, Residential (Pair)

If the existing hinge pocket is 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches with 5/8 inch radius corners, the DSB35R5-R drops straight in with no router work. That 5/8 inch radius is the common builder radius on residential jambs and door edges. If your pocket has square corners or a 1/4 inch radius, this hinge will not seat cleanly, and you would want a square corner or 1/4 inch radius hinge instead.

Solid brass, not plated steel. Both the base material and the substrate are brass, so the metal is brass through the leaf rather than a coating over a steel core. That matters on exterior or coastal openings where a plated steel hinge eventually rusts at the screw holes. Leaf thickness is .085.

The DSB35R5-R is sold by the pair, two hinges. Most interior residential doors hang on three hinges, so a single door takes a pair plus one more, or two pairs if you want a spare. Wood screws are included at #10 x 1 inch.

No. The DSB35 Series is a residential plain bearing hinge, and plain bearing means there is no ball or concealed bearing carrying the load through the cycle. It suits interior residential doors, not high traffic commercial openings. For a commercial or multi-family corridor door, step up to a bearing hinge such as the Orca Hardware 3514 Series, a 3.5 x 3.5 inch radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge, or the Ives 3CB1 concealed bearing full mortise hinge in medium duty. Where the door is heavy or the traffic is constant, the Don-Jo HWBB84545 heavy weight ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches is the heavier answer.

Not without extra measures. The DSB35R5-R does not have a non-removable pin, so on an out-swing door the pin sits on the outside and can be driven out. For an out-swing opening where that matters, use an NRP hinge such as the Hager BB1168 non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge. On an in-swing door the pin is protected and this is a non-issue.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" plain bearing full mortise hinge with 5/8" radius corners in solid brass, sold as a pair. The Delaney RH35xx bulk steel residential hinge is the direct size-and-corner match: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with 5/8" radius corners, also sold as a pair, from the Interior Residential Hinges series. The difference is the base material and the finish range - the Deltana is brass and carries finishes including PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel and Unlacquered Brass, while the Delaney is a steel interior hinge.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with 5/8" radius corners. In 4" x 4" with the same 5/8" radius profile, the Delaney RH45xx is a bulk residential exterior hinge, 4" x 4", 5/8" radius, sold as a pair, from the Exterior Residential Hinges series. The Delaney RH40xx is also 4" x 4" and is supplied 5/8" radius by square, a combination hinge from the Castlegate series that pairs a radius leaf with a square leaf. Match the corner on the existing frame prep leaf by leaf before you commit the order.

Several 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" plain bearing hinges match the leaf size but not the corner. The Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge, the Emtek 92013 heavy duty plain bearing hinge, the Emtek 96213 heavy duty hinge and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 mortise hinge are all 3.5" x 3.5" with square corners, while the Deltana DSB35R5-R has 5/8" radius corners. A square corner leaf will not seat in a router-cut radius mortise without squaring the pocket, and a radius leaf leaves a gap in a square prep. Note also that the Schlage S3P1010 is supplied as a pack of 3 and the Ives 1010RP as a set of 3, where the Deltana is sold as a pair.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is supplied without a non-removable pin. Where the barrel is accessible from the outside, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge from the BB1168 series, which pins the set screw so the pin cannot be driven out with the door closed. It is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge rather than a residential plain bearing one, so verify leaf size and corner against the existing frame prep before ordering.

Seventeen finishes, which is why this hinge gets specified when the rest of the door hardware has to match: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Bronze Dark, Bronze Medium, Bronze Rust, White Dark, White Light, White Medium, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you are matching existing Deltana levers or knobs across a house or a unit turnover, order the hinge in the same finish code and the run stays consistent.

Size and corner are the same story on all three at 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches, so the mortise is not the deciding factor. The difference is material and corner. The Deltana is solid brass with 5/8 inch radius corners. The Delaney 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 bulk interior residential hinge is steel with the same 5/8 inch radius, which is the cheaper answer when you are hanging a lot of interior doors and nobody sees the hinge. The Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge is plated steel with square corners, so it wants a square pocket, not a radiused one. Choose brass where the hinge is visible, exposed to moisture, or has to match brass trim.

No handing to call out. The DSB35R5-R is a symmetrical full mortise butt hinge with a plain bearing and a loose pin, so the same hinge works on a left or right hand door. You just flip it. Pick the size, the corner radius, and the finish, and that is the whole order.

The DSB35 hinge uses an arc hole pattern, meaning the screw holes are staggered on a curve rather than in a straight line down the leaf. That is the standard residential pattern and it spreads the screws across the wood grain instead of splitting along one line. If you are replacing another residential 3-1/2 inch hinge with an arc pattern, the screws usually pick up existing holes. Coming off a commercial hinge with in-line holes, plan on new pilot holes. Screws supplied are #10 x 1 inch wood screws.

The DSB35R5-R is a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch hinge only. Heavier or taller residential doors, typically 1-3/4 inch exterior slabs, usually take a 4 inch hinge. The Delaney 4 x 4 bulk residential exterior hinge with 5/8 inch radius keeps the same corner radius in the larger size, and the Orca Hardware 4014 Series is a 4 x 4 radius corner plain bearing hinge for commercial use.

Plain bearing hinges such as the Deltana DSB35R5-R suit residential use. Where the swing cycle count is higher, a bearing hinge in the same 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" size is the move: the Emtek 94013 is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge, 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with square corners, plated steel, sold as a pair. For a larger leaf on a heavier door, the Orca Hardware COM3535 is a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square corner ball bearing commercial hinge, medium duty, 3535 Series. Both are square corner, so confirm the existing mortise before ordering against a 5/8" radius prep.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a plain bearing full mortise hinge with no electrical provision. For power transfer through the hinge, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is an energy transfer hinge, 3 knuckle standard weight steel base, medium duty, from the ETH 3 Series, and the ETH-BB68 is the 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base version in the ETH 5 Series. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 adds door position sensing on a 3 knuckle steel base and the ETM-BB68 integrates a door position switch on the heavy duty ETM 5 Series. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12 wire quick connect, medium duty.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a full mortise hinge, which requires both the door edge and the frame rabbet to be mortised. If only the door can be mortised, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge, 4-1/2", standard weight steel, heavy duty. Where nothing can be mortised, the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge, 3" x 4", plain bearing with a welded tip, heavy duty. For a door that must swing both directions, the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors rather than a hinge at all.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R uses a plain bearing, where the knuckles run directly on each other, in a solid brass leaf at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". The Ives 3CB1 is a steel 3 knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge, medium duty, with the bearing hidden inside the knuckle rather than exposed as a visible ball bearing race; the 3CB1HW is the heavy weight steel version of the same 3 knuckle concealed bearing full mortise design. The Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge in 2 knuckle steel construction, medium duty. Concealed bearing hinges keep the barrel looking like a plain bearing hinge while carrying a bearing, which matters when the aesthetic on the opening is set but the traffic is not residential.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a plain bearing hinge with no closing mechanism, so the door will hold wherever it is left. For self-closing without a surface closer, the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge, square corner, 4.5" x 4.5", ferrous steel base, heavy duty. It is a larger leaf with a square corner, so a 3-1/2" radius-corner opening would need the frame and door prep enlarged and squared to take it.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a residential-duty solid brass hinge with a .085 leaf thickness at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2", furnished with #10 x 1" wood screws for a wood door and jamb. For a heavier door leaf, step up in size and weight class: the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2" x 4-1/2", and the HWBB75045 is 5" x 4-1/2" steel, both heavy duty. The Stanley FBB191 is a 5 knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge at 4.5" x 4.5". All of these are larger leaves that will not reuse an existing 3-1/2" prep.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is solid brass through the leaf, not plated steel, which is why it suits locations where a ferrous base would be a liability. In a commercial line, the McKinney T2314 is a non ferrous hinge, standard weight, 5 knuckle, medium duty. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in brass at 5" x 4-1/2" with a satin chrome finish, if the opening needs a bearing hinge in a larger leaf. By contrast the Emtek 91013 and 92013 residential hinges at the same 3-1/2" size are plated steel.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is sold by the pair, two hinges per unit of measure, so a standard three-hinge door takes two units and leaves a spare. The Delaney RH35xx bulk steel residential hinge and the Delaney RH45xx exterior residential hinge are also sold as a pair, as are the Emtek 91013 and 94013. The Schlage Residential S3P1010 comes as a pack of 3 and the Ives 1010RP as a set of 3, which covers one standard door exactly. Count the doors before you convert a takeoff from one pack size to the other.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a residential plain bearing hinge and is not a security-rated product. For a detention opening, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge from the Detention Hardware series, and the Stanley Security BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5" by 6", furnished with no holes and not swaged, heavy duty. The Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge, 3" x 4", with a welded tip. These are a different class of preparation entirely - the Stanley arrives undrilled and unswaged for field fitting.

Yes, the solid brass DSB35 hinges accept decorative finials, so you can dress the barrel to match period or high-end trim rather than leaving a plain button tip. That is one reason these get chosen over a plain steel residential hinge on visible openings.

The Deltana DSB35R5-R is a solid brass hinge that may be fitted with decorative finials, and it comes in a wide finish range including PVD Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome and Paint Black. If you want a decorative profile in a larger commercial leaf, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2 knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2" x 4-1/2", standard duty - a square barrel rather than a round one with a finial, so the visual result is quite different.
