Deltana DSB4R5 4" x 4" x 5/8" Radius Hinges (Pair)

Yes, if those mortises were cut for a 4 x 4 hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners. The DSB4R5 measures 4 x 4 inches with 5/8 inch radius corners, which is the common residential router-cut corner. If your existing hinge has square corners or a 1/4 inch radius, the leaf won't sit in the pocket correctly, and you'd want a square-corner or 1/4 inch radius hinge instead.

Not without addressing the pin. The DSB4R5 is not a non-removable-pin hinge, so on an outswing door the barrel and pin sit on the exterior and the pin can be driven out. For an outswing exterior opening, use an NRP hinge such as the Hager BB1168 non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge, or add security studs. On an inswing door, where the barrel is inside, this is a non-issue.

Size and the door it carries. The DSB4R5 is a 4 x 4 inch hinge; 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 hinges like the Emtek 91013 or the Delaney RH35 series interior hinges are the lighter interior standard. Rule of thumb: 3-1/2 inch for a 1-3/8 inch hollow-core interior door, 4 inch for a 1-3/4 inch solid door. The mortises are not interchangeable, so match the size already cut in the jamb.

The DSB4R5 is a plain bearing hinge rated residential. On an opening that cycles heavily or carries a closer, a ball bearing commercial hinge is the usual step up: the Delaney 4" x 4" Commercial Ball Bearing Hinge Square Corner and the Orca Hardware 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Square Corner Ball Bearing Commercial Hinge, rated medium duty, both hold the ball bearing arrangement. For a heavy duty leaf, the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" and the Ives 3CB1HW steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge go further. Note the leaf sizes differ from 4" x 4", so the jamb mortise has to be cut to suit.

The DSB4R5 is a 4" x 4" full mortise plain bearing hinge with 5/8" radius corners, sold as a pair for residential use. The closest match in corner style and pair packaging is the Delaney 4" x 4" Bulk Residential Hinges Exterior, which also use a 5/8" radius corner and ship as a pair. For an interior opening at a smaller leaf size, the Delaney 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Bulk Steel Residential Hinges Interior carry the same 5/8" radius corner in a pair. The difference is material: the Deltana is solid brass, while the Delaney interior hinge is steel.

No. The DSB4R5 is a solid brass full mortise hinge with no wiring provision. Transferring power through the hinge requires an electrified hinge built for it: the Command Access ETH-CB70 Energy Transfer Hinge is a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base hinge rated medium duty, and the ETH-BB68 is the 5 knuckle heavy duty version. 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 a heavy duty base. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect for higher wire counts.

The DSB4R5 is supplied without a non-removable pin, so on an outswing door the barrel sits on the exterior. Where the pin must not be pullable, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty. For openings that call for a pin that cannot be defeated at all, the Hager 990 STEEL full surface prison hinge, 3" x 4", uses a welded tip. Both are steel commercial hinges rather than the DSB4R5's solid brass, so the appearance will not match decorative brass trim.

No. The DSB4R5 is a full mortise hinge, which requires both the door edge and the frame to be mortised. Where only one side is prepped, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge in 4-1/2" standard weight steel, keeping the plain bearing arrangement. If neither surface can be routed, the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge that mounts to the face of the door and frame.

Yes. The DSB4R5 uses a 5/8" radius corner. The Orca Hardware 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Corner Plain Bearing Commercial Hinge is the same 4" x 4" leaf with a 1/4" radius and the same plain bearing arrangement, rated medium duty. At a smaller leaf, the Orca Hardware 3.5" x 3.5" x 1/4" Radius Corner Plain Bearing Commercial Hinge carries the 1/4" radius. A 1/4" radius hinge will not fill a mortise routed for 5/8", so match the radius to the existing cutout.

Wood screws, #12 x 1-1/4 inch, are what the DSB4R5 ships with. No machine screws are supplied, so these are meant for wood doors and wood jambs, not hollow metal frames. On an exterior door where the jamb is only shimmed, swap the middle screw in each jamb leaf for a 3 inch screw into the framing to keep the door from sagging.

No. A full mortise butt hinge like the DSB4R5 is symmetrical, so the same pair works on a left-hand or right-hand door. You only pick a finish. Handing matters on spring hinges and electrified hinges, not on a plain butt hinge like this one.

Nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Brushed Chrome. PVD Polished Brass holds its shine and resists tarnish; Unlacquered Brass is the one that will patina over time, which is what you want if the rest of the suite is living finish. For a building where every door has to match, pick one finish and standardize across all openings.

Leaf thickness is .129 inch. That is the depth you rout the mortise to so the leaf sits flush with the door edge and jamb face. If you're replacing a thinner steel residential hinge, expect to deepen the pocket slightly; if the old hinge was heavier, you may need to shim.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on coastal or humid installations where a plated steel hinge will rust through the finish, and it's why these can be offered in an unlacquered version that patinas. By comparison, the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge is plated steel.

The Delaney RH45 series is a 4 x 4 bulk residential exterior hinge with the same 5/8 inch radius corner, and the Delaney RH40 series is a 4 x 4 residential hinge offered in 5/8 inch radius and square corner. Both drop into the same pocket the DSB4R5 does. Go with the Deltana when you want solid brass rather than steel.

The DSB4R5 is a plain bearing hinge and does nothing to return the door. To get self-closing action from the hinge itself, the Stanley Security Spring Hinge Full Mortise in 4.5" x 4.5" with a square corner and ferrous steel base is a heavy duty spring hinge. Its leaf is 4-1/2" square corner rather than the DSB4R5's 4" x 4" with 5/8" radius, so the jamb and door mortises need to be cut to the larger square profile.

They are different builds. The DSB4R5 is a plain bearing hinge, where the knuckles bear directly on each other; the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, with the bearing hidden inside the knuckle. The Hager 920 is likewise a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge with 2-knuckle steel construction, rated medium duty. Both are steel commercial hinges, so a swap changes the knuckle count and the visible barrel appearance against a decorative brass door set, even where the mortise itself accepts them.

The DSB4R5 is a solid brass hinge offered in finishes including PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Unlacquered Brass, and it can be fitted with decorative finials. At a 4-1/2" leaf, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2" by 4-1/2", rated standard duty. The square barrel gives a different profile from the DSB4R5's round barrel with finial option, and the corner is square rather than 5/8" radius.

The DSB4R5 is sold by the pair in solid brass across nine finishes, which suits matching a decorative scheme door by door. For volume work on standard openings, the Delaney 4" x 4" Bulk Residential Hinges Exterior and the Delaney 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Bulk Steel Residential Hinges Interior are packaged as bulk residential pairs and share the 5/8" radius corner, so they drop into the same mortise profile. Where a door needs three hinges, the Ives 1010RP steel plain bearing residential hinges ship as a set of three, though with square corners.

The DSB4R5 is a residential plain bearing hinge in a 4" x 4" leaf. For heavier leaves, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 5" x 4-1/2" steel, and the Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a 5" x 4-1/2" brass heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge, both rated heavy duty. For a pivot-reinforced approach on a heavy door, the BEST CB1969R is a concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge, also heavy duty. All three use a wider leaf than 4" x 4", so the jamb prep changes.

Yes. The DSB4 Series solid brass hinges accept decorative finials, so you can dress the barrel with ball, urn, or steeple tips to match the rest of the trim. The finials are ordered separately from the hinge pair.
