Deltana DSB45 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Square Hinges (Pair)

The DSB45 is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch full mortise hinge with square corners, so it drops into an existing square-corner 4-1/2 inch mortise without recutting. If the doors in your building have radius-corner mortises (5/8 inch or 1/4 inch radius are the common ones), the square corners will not seat cleanly, and you would either need to square the corners of the pocket or use a radius-corner hinge instead.

No. The DSB45 is a residential-duty plain bearing hinge in solid brass. Plain bearing means the knuckles ride metal on metal with no ball or concealed bearing race, which is fine for interior and residential doors but not for a high-traffic commercial opening or a heavy door with a closer. For that, go to a ball bearing hinge in the same 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 size, such as the Orca Hardware 3535 Series square corner ball bearing commercial hinge or the Don-Jo HWBB84545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge.

Not as a security hinge. The DSB45 does not have a non-removable pin, so on an out-swing door the pins sit on the outside and can be driven out. Either add hinge pin studs or set screws, or specify a hinge that carries NRP from the factory, like the Hager BB1168 non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge.

No. The Deltana DSB45 is a plain bearing full mortise hinge with no spring. For a door that has to close on its own at the same 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch square corner size, the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise square corner spring hinge, 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty.

No. The Deltana DSB45 is a standard plain bearing hinge with no wire path. To transfer power 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. 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-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch.

The Deltana DSB45 is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner full mortise plain bearing hinge sold as a pair. The nearest match by size and corner style is the McKinney SQ3331 square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge, also 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, rated standard duty. The Orca Hardware 3535 Series is another 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner hinge, but it is a ball bearing hinge rated medium duty rather than plain bearing.

No. The Deltana DSB45 does not carry a non-removable pin. Where an out-swinging exterior or secured door calls for one, the Hager BB1168 NRP is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty. For detention and other high-security openings, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge with a welded tip.

Not without recutting the mortise. The Deltana DSB45 has square corners, so it will not seat in a mortise routed for a radius corner leaf. For a radius mortise, the Orca Hardware 4014 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch with 1/4 inch radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge and the 3514 Series is the same style at 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch. Delaney lists 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch interior residential hinges and 4 inch by 4 inch exterior residential hinges in a 5/8 inch radius.

The DSB45 is sold by the pair, so a typical door hung on three hinges takes two pairs (you will have one hinge left over) and a two-hinge door takes one pair. Each hinge ships with the fasteners: #12 x 1-1/4 inch wood screws for a wood jamb and door, and #12 x 1/2 inch machine screws for a metal frame.

Leaf thickness is 0.134 inch. That is the depth your mortise has to be routed to so the leaf sits flush with the door edge and jamb face. If you are swapping into pockets cut for a thinner leaf, the door will sit proud and bind on the strike side; a shim or a light recut of the mortise fixes it.

Material and size. The DSB45 is solid brass through the leaf, not plated, so a scratch does not show a different metal underneath and it will not rust on a bathroom or exterior-facing interior door. The common plated steel alternatives are smaller: the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 are both 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch square corner, which is the usual size for a lighter interior door. Match the size to the pocket already in your jamb.

Both. The DSB45 pair includes #12 x 1/2 inch machine screws for a tapped hollow metal frame and #12 x 1-1/4 inch wood screws for a wood jamb or door stile. The frame does need to be prepped for a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner full mortise hinge already, since the hinge mounts into a routed pocket rather than on the surface.

Both are 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch full mortise hinges. The Deltana DSB45 uses a plain bearing in solid brass and is rated for residential use. The Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in satin chrome, rated heavy duty. Don-Jo also offers the HWBB84545 in the same 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch heavy weight ball bearing configuration in satin chrome. Ball bearing hinges are the usual choice on doors that carry a closer or see high cycle counts.

The Deltana DSB45 is full mortise, meaning both leaves are mortised into the door and the frame. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch in standard weight steel, which mortises into the door and surface-mounts to the frame. The Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch that fastens to the face of both door and frame. Those are used on channel iron frames and metal doors where a full mortise prep is not available.

The Deltana DSB45 is a solid brass plain bearing hinge in square corners. If concealed bearings are required, the Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge with 2-knuckle steel construction, rated medium duty, and the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge, also medium duty. For a non-ferrous option, the McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous standard weight 5-knuckle hinge rated medium duty.

The Deltana DSB45 is sold by the pair, so a three-hinge door takes two units. Hinges packaged three to a set include the Ives 1010RP steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners, sold as a set of three, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both are 3-1/2 inch sizes, so they suit a lighter interior door rather than the 4-1/2 inch prep the DSB45 fills.

No. The Deltana DSB45 is a full mortise hinge that carries the door on the jamb edge. A pivot carries the door at the top and bottom instead. The BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which lets a door swing both directions, and the BEST CB1969R is a concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge used where the door already runs on a pivot set. Neither drops into a mortise cut for a 4-1/2 inch hinge leaf.

The Deltana DSB45 is a residential-duty solid brass plain bearing hinge with square corners at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Emtek's heavy duty lines are all 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner pairs: the 92013 is heavy duty plain bearing in plated steel, the 94013 is heavy duty ball bearing in plated steel, and the 96213 is a heavy duty hinge pair. The size difference is the deciding factor, since the mortise depth and leaf width have to match what is already cut in the door.

Seventeen finishes, so you can match the hinges to the levers and pulls already on the openings: 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. Unlacquered Brass is the one to pick if you want the hinges to patina over time rather than hold a fixed color.

Yes. The DSB45 solid brass hinges accept decorative finials in place of the standard tips, which is how you get a ball, urn, or steeple tip on a hinge that otherwise reads plain. The finials are ordered separately from the hinge pair.

The Deltana DSB45 is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch plain bearing full mortise hinge rated residential. For a light commercial door, the McKinney MP79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge and the MPB79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle standard weight hinge as well. Both are standard duty, which sits between the residential DSB45 and the heavy weight ball bearing lines.
