Deltana DSB4R5-R 4" x 4" x 5/8" Radius Hinges, Residential (Pair)

Yes, if the existing mortise is a 4 inch by 4 inch pocket routed with 5/8 inch radius corners. The DSB4R5-R is a full mortise hinge measuring 4 x 4 inches with 5/8 inch radius corners, which is the standard router-cut corner on most residential prehung doors. If your existing hinges have square corners, this one will not seat right without chiseling the corners of the mortise.

Security is the catch. The DSB4R5-R has a removable pin, not an NRP (non-removable pin), so on an outswing exterior door the pin can be driven out from the hinge side. For that situation look at a non-removable pin hinge such as the Hager BB1168-NRP full mortise ball bearing hinge. On a standard inswing door, where the knuckles sit inside, the removable pin is not an exposure.

The Deltana DSB4R5-R is classified residential with a plain bearing. For a commercial 4 inch by 4 inch opening, Orca Hardware offers a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge and a 4 inch by 4 inch 1/4 inch radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge, both medium duty. If the door sees bearing-grade traffic, the Delaney 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge has square corners. Note the corner profiles differ from the Deltana 5/8 inch radius, so confirm the mortise routs before swapping.

The Deltana DSB4R5-R is built for a 4 inch by 4 inch prep, so it will not drop into a 3-1/2 inch mortise. For a 3-1/2 inch pocket with a radius corner, the Delaney 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch Bulk Steel Residential Hinges are 5/8 inch radius and sold as a pair. If the existing mortise has square corners instead, the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinges are 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner plated steel, sold as a pair, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge sold three to a pack.

The Deltana DSB4R5-R is a 4 inch by 4 inch solid brass residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, sold as a pair. For the same size and corner profile in steel, the Delaney 4 inch by 4 inch Bulk Residential Hinges Exterior are 5/8 inch radius and also sold as a pair, and the Delaney 4 inch by 4 inch Residential Hinges for Castlegate come in a 5/8 inch radius by square combination. Both match the 4 x 4 opening prep; the Deltana is the brass option.

No. The Deltana DSB4R5-R uses a plain bearing, which suits residential interior and light-traffic doors. If the specification calls for a bearing hinge, the Emtek 94013 is a heavy duty ball bearing pair with square corners in plated steel, the Orca Hardware 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge is medium duty, and the Hager BB1168 is a full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge with a non-removable pin. The Deltana is also supplied without a non-removable pin, so it is not an NRP substitute on an outswing exterior door.

Yes. The Deltana solid brass hinge line is built to accept decorative finials in place of the standard tips, which is the usual reason people specify solid brass hinges on a visible interior opening instead of plated steel. Finials are ordered separately.

No. It is a full mortise butt hinge with a removable pin, so the same hinge works on a left hand or right hand door. Just make sure the barrel faces the swing side when you set it.

Plain bearing, which is what the DSB4R5-R uses, is fine for a normal-use interior or residential door. Ball bearing hinges earn their cost on heavy doors, doors with a closer, or high-traffic openings where the added friction control keeps the door from sagging. If your door falls in that group, the Orca 3535 Series 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing hinge or the Emtek 94013 heavy duty ball bearing pair are the direction to go.

No, the Deltana DSB4R5-R is a standard plain bearing full mortise hinge with no spring mechanism. For a self-closing opening, the Stanley Security 2060R spring hinge is a full mortise square corner hinge at 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. That is a larger prep than the Deltana 4 inch by 4 inch, so the mortise and screw pattern have to be reworked.

No. The Deltana DSB4R5-R is a mechanical full mortise brass hinge with no wiring provision. For power transfer through the hinge, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight energy transfer hinge and the ETH-BB68 is a 5 knuckle heavy duty version. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 includes door position sensing and the ETM-BB68 has an integrated door position switch. BEST also offers the CECB179-12C full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect.

Both are residential plain bearing full mortise hinges. The Deltana DSB4R5-R is solid brass, 4 inch by 4 inch, with 5/8 inch radius corners, and ships as a pair. The Ives 1010RP is steel with square corners and ships as a set of three, rated medium duty. Pick by the corner profile already routed in the jamb and by whether you need two or three leaves per door.

Two: Brushed Nickel and Polished Brass. Since the hinge is solid brass rather than plated steel, the finish is applied over a brass substrate, which is why it pairs cleanly with brass levers and knobs on the same opening.

The DSB4R5-R uses an arc hole pattern, meaning the four screw holes on each leaf are staggered on a curve rather than sitting in a straight line. That spreads the pull across the door edge grain. If the hinge you are replacing had a straight-line pattern, the screws will not line up with the old holes and you will be driving into fresh wood, which is generally a better bite anyway.
