Deltana DSBP45 Ornate Hinge, 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Square Corners, Solid Brass (Pair)

Not on its own. The DSBP45 has a standard removable pin, not an NRP, so on an outswing door the pin is accessible from outside and the door can be lifted off its hinges. Either add hinge pin stud plates, or specify a non-removable-pin hinge such as the Hager BB1168 NRP full mortise ball bearing hinge. On an inswing door the barrel sits inside and this is not an issue.

The Deltana DSBP45 is rated for residential use, so for a commercial door in the same 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner size, look at the Orca Hardware 3535 Series, a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty. For heavier traffic, the Don-Jo HWBB84545 and HWBB74545 are heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinges in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, and the Stanley Security FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch. All of these keep the same mortise cutout as the DSBP45.

The McKinney SQ3331 is the nearest decorative match in the same footprint. It is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, so it drops into the same mortise size as the DSBP45, which is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner hinge. The difference is the look and the knuckle count: the DSBP45 uses cast-engraved solid brass leaves with a 3 knuckle barrel, while the SQ3331 uses a square barrel with 2 knuckles. Choose the DSBP45 when the ornate engraved leaf is the point, and the SQ3331 when a square barrel profile suits the door better.

The DSBP45 does not have a non-removable pin. When an out-swinging exterior or secured opening requires the pin to stay put, the Hager BB1168-NRP is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge. It is full mortise like the DSBP45, so it uses the same style of prep in the door edge and frame rabbet, but it is a different construction and a different look from the cast-engraved solid brass leaves of the DSBP45.

No. The DSBP45 is a plain bearing full mortise hinge with no closing mechanism. For a self-closing opening in the same size, the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with square corners in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. It takes the same 4-1/2 inch square corner mortise the DSBP45 does, so on a retrofit you can swap one leaf position to the spring hinge and leave the rest of the prep alone.

No, the DSBP45 is a plain bearing hinge with no provision for power transfer. For an opening where power has to reach an electrified lock through the hinge in the same 4-1/2 inch square corner size, the Stanley Security CECB1900R54L is a three knuckle concealed bearing concealed conductor architectural hinge, steel full mortise, standard weight, 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, square corner, left-handed, 4-wire. If you need more circuits, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base energy transfer hinge, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. Note the Stanley hinge is handed, so confirm the door swing before ordering; the DSBP45 is not handed.

The DSBP45 is built at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, so a 4 inch mortise will not take it without re-prepping the door edge and frame. At 4 inches, the Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge, which matches the DSBP45 on both square corners and plain bearing. The Delaney RH40xx is a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge pair offered in 5/8 inch radius and square corner, and the Delaney CH401X is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge with a square corner. Confirm your existing mortise corner shape before you order, since radius and square are not interchangeable.

The DSBP45 ships as a pair, two leaves per unit, with traditional slotted wood screws included. Most 4-1/2 inch doors take three hinges, so plan on two units per door and expect one spare leaf, or order in a quantity that suits the number of openings you are doing.

Wood screws are included, #12 x 1-1/4 inch, in traditional slotted heads to suit the decorative look. No machine screws are supplied, so if you are hanging into a hollow metal frame with tapped holes you will need to source 12-24 machine screws separately. For a wood jamb, at least one screw per leaf should be long enough to reach the stud behind the jamb on an entry door.

Nine finishes: Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome and Brushed Chrome. Two brass choices matter for maintenance: PVD Polished Brass holds its shine and resists tarnish, while Unlacquered Brass is bare metal and will patina over time, which is what you want if the rest of the hardware on the opening is living finish.

The leaves are .168 inch thick. That is thicker than a typical stamped residential hinge, so if you are swapping into a mortise cut for a thinner leaf the door will sit slightly proud of the jamb unless you deepen the pocket. Cut the mortise to the leaf thickness and the reveal stays where it should.

No handing. The DSBP45 is a full mortise butt hinge with a symmetrical 3 knuckle barrel, so the same pair works on a left hand or right hand door and either leaf can go to the jamb. Just keep the barrel facing the direction the door swings.

Match on three things and it will line up: the 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 leaf size, the square corner profile, and the finish. Where you want a decorative look in the same 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 size but with a different barrel style, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2 knuckle decorative hinge in that size, while the Deltana runs a 3 knuckle barrel.

Solid brass through the whole leaf, not plated steel, so the DSBP45 will not rust and is a reasonable choice on a coastal or humid exterior opening from a corrosion standpoint. The limit is duty, not material: it is a residential plain bearing hinge, so on a heavy exterior slab with a closer, go to a ball bearing hinge such as the Don-Jo HWBB74545 in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2.

The DSBP45 is only offered at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches. Interior passage doors, which are usually lighter, commonly take a 3-1/2 inch hinge, and for that size the Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing pair with square corners, or the Schlage Residential S3P1010 comes as a pack of three square corner plain bearing mortise hinges. Neither is cast-engraved, so if you want the ornate face you stay at 4-1/2 inches.

The DSBP45 is made in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch only, so a 3-1/2 inch opening needs a different hinge. The Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners, matching the DSBP45 on bearing type, square corners, and being sold as a pair. The Emtek 92013 is the heavy duty plain bearing version in the same 3-1/2 inch square corner size. Both are plated steel rather than the solid brass the DSBP45 uses.

Yes. The DSBP45 has cast-engraved decorative leaves in solid brass, which is what you pay for on a visible opening. For closets, utility rooms, and back-of-house doors, the Delaney RH45xx is a bulk residential exterior hinge pair in 4 inch by 4 inch with a 5/8 inch radius corner, and the Delaney RH35xx is a bulk interior residential hinge pair in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with the same 5/8 inch radius. Note both are radius corner, so they will not drop into a square corner mortise cut for the DSBP45 without patching or re-prep. The Orca 4040 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge if you need to stay square.

Both are full mortise hinges, but they are built for different jobs. The DSBP45 is a solid brass plain bearing hinge with a 3 knuckle barrel, decorative cast-engraved leaves, and a .168 inch leaf thickness, packed as a pair with traditional slotted screws, and it is rated residential. The Ives 3CB1 is a steel 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty for commercial use. The visual difference is the deciding one: the DSBP45 is meant to be seen, the 3CB1 is meant to disappear behind a commercial door.

They are different sizes and take different preps, so they are not interchangeable on the same door. The DSBP45 is 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. For a thicker or taller leaf where a 5 inch hinge is called for, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch in steel, and the HWBB85045 is the same 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in brass. Both are full mortise like the DSBP45, but the taller leaf needs its own mortise depth and height on the door edge and the frame.

They are not the same kind of hinge. The McKinney MP79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge, and the MPB79 is the MacPro 5-knuckle standard weight as well. The DSBP45 is a 3 knuckle solid brass hinge with decorative cast-engraved leaves. If you are matching the barrel appearance across a set of doors, the knuckle count is visible from across the room - a 3 knuckle DSBP45 next to a 5-knuckle MacPro will not read as a matched set even if both are full mortise.

The DSBP45 is solid brass and offered in finishes including Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, and PVD Polished Brass, but it is rated residential. On the commercial side, the Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in brass, sized 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch, in a satin chrome finish. The tradeoff is real: the DSBP45 gives you the brass finish range and the engraved leaf, and the HWBB85045 gives you brass base material with ball bearing heavy weight construction in a single plated finish.

No, those mount differently and are not swaps. The DSBP45 is full mortise, meaning both leaves are let into the door edge and the frame. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge in 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, which mortises into the door but surface applies to the frame. The Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge, 3 inch by 4 inch, with a welded tip, applied to the face of the door and frame. Choose between them on how the frame is built and prepped, not on size alone.

An ornate hinge like the Deltana DSBP45 has cast-engraved decorative leaves rather than a flat plain face, and comes with slotted screws so the fastener heads suit period work. Use it where the hinge is visible and the opening is being restored or styled to match traditional trim. If the hinge will be painted over, hidden behind casing, or on a utility door, a plain steel butt hinge does the same mechanical job for less visual fuss.
