Deltana DSH4R4 Single Action Spring Hinge (Pair), 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Corner, Steel, UL Listed

Not without a separate security measure. The DSH4R4 does not have a non-removable pin, so on an outswing opening the pin is reachable from the exterior side. For that condition you want a hinge with an NRP option or a set screw in the barrel. The BEST 2060R and RD2060R spring hinges are both built with a removable pin as well, so they do not solve it either. Inswing doors, interior doors, and any opening where the barrel is on the secure side are not affected.

Yes. The DSH4R4 is cut with 1/4 inch radius corners, so it will not match a 5/8 radius pocket. Orca Hardware makes the SPR4058, a 4 inch by 4 inch spring hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners in the 4058 Series at medium duty, which is the same size in the larger radius. Orca also makes the SPR4058Z, the same 4 inch by 4 inch 5/8 inch radius corner hinge with a Z hole pattern, for frames drilled to that staggered pattern. On the Hager side, the 1252 is a full mortise spring hinge with 5/8 inch round corners in standard weight steel. Match the radius to what the existing pocket was routed for rather than to the door size.

The Orca Hardware SPR4014 is the direct match on size and corner: it is a 4 inch by 4 inch spring hinge with 1/4 inch radius corners, the same 4 inch by 4 inch dimension and 1/4 inch radius corner profile the DSH4R4 carries. Orca lists the SPR4014 in its 4014 Series at medium duty. Both drop into the same mortise prep, so if a door was routed for 4 x 4 with quarter radius corners either one seats without rework. The DSH4R4 is steel and UL Listed, and is sold as a pair.

The DSH4R4 has 1/4 inch radius corners, which will not fill a square corner pocket cleanly. For a square corner prep at the same 4 inch by 4 inch size, the Orca Hardware SPR4040 is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner spring hinge in the 4040 Series, medium duty. Other square corner options are the BEST 2060R, a plain bearing spring hinge with removable pin in square corners at standard weight, and the McKinney 1502, a square corner full mortise standard weight spring hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Confirm the pocket size before ordering the McKinney, since 4-1/2 requires a deeper prep than 4 inch.

The DSH4R4 is a steel hinge. Where stainless is required, the Hager 1150 is a full mortise spring hinge in standard weight stainless steel at medium duty. For a continuous hinge application rather than a butt hinge, the Pemko Markar FS902 Series spring loaded continuous hinge is 304 stainless steel with 80 lb capacity. Note that the Hager 1150 is the butt hinge substitution that uses the same mortise approach as the DSH4R4; the Pemko FS902 is a continuous hinge and requires a different frame condition.

Yes. The Emtek 95013 is a pair of UL Listed spring hinges at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch in plated steel with square corners, in Emtek's UL Listed Spring Hinges series. That is the smaller size for a 3-1/2 inch pocket, and it keeps the UL listing that the Deltana DSH4R4 also carries. Watch the corner: the Emtek 95013 is square corner while the DSH4R4 is 1/4 inch radius, so the pocket profile has to match as well as the size.

The DSH4R4 is sold as a pair, and a typical opening runs three hinges: two spring hinges plus one standard bearing hinge, or all three spring for a heavier leaf. Deltana's spring hinges are adjustable, so you set closing tension after they are hung, and you can add tension to one or both if the door is slow to latch. Screws come with them, #10 x 1 wood screws for a wood jamb and #10 x 1/2 machine screws for a hollow metal frame.

A spring hinge does the closing from inside the hinge barrel, so there is nothing mounted on the face of the door or the frame. That is why it gets used on apartment entry doors, stairwell doors, and anywhere a surface closer would look wrong or get in the way. What it will not do is control the sweep speed or give you a backcheck the way a closer does, and it does not hold open. On a wide or heavy leaf, or where you need a delayed close, a closer is the right call. On a standard 4 x 4 prepped commercial door that just has to shut and latch, this is the simpler answer.

No. The DSH4R4 is a single action spring hinge, so it swings one direction and installs on either a left hand or right hand door without ordering a specific hand. Single action also means it will not work on a double-acting door that swings both ways, such as a kitchen or service door. Those need a double action hinge or a pivot set.

Rated commercial. The DSH4R4 is steel, 0.097 gauge leaf, with a plain bearing barrel. Plain bearing is the standard-weight construction used on interior and moderate-traffic commercial openings, apartment entries, offices, corridors. For a high-frequency opening carrying a heavy leaf, a ball bearing hinge with a separate closer holds up better than any spring hinge.

No. The Pemko Markar FM400 Series and FM900 Series are full mortise spring loaded continuous hinges rated at 80 lb load capacity for toilet partitions, and the FS402 Series is a spring loaded continuous hinge for toilet partitions at the same 80 lb capacity. Those run the full height of the panel and are specified for partition work. The Deltana DSH4R4 is a 4 inch by 4 inch single action butt hinge sold as a pair, mortised into individual hinge pockets. They are not interchangeable in either direction, and a door prepped for 4 x 4 butt hinges cannot take a continuous hinge without new frame prep.

Orca Hardware covers all three common 4 inch by 4 inch preps: the SPR4014 in 1/4 inch radius corner, the SPR4040 in square corner, and the SPR4058 in 5/8 inch radius corner, with the SPR4058Z adding the Z hole pattern in 5/8 inch radius. All four are medium duty. Hager covers the same ground across three numbers: the 1250 in standard weight steel, the 1251 with 1/4 inch round corners, and the 1252 with 5/8 inch round corners, all medium duty full mortise. The Deltana DSH4R4 covers the 1/4 inch radius corner prep at 4 inch by 4 inch in steel with UL Listing, and comes in twelve finishes including oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and antique brass, which is the range to work from if the openings share one prep but the finishes vary by wing.

Twelve finishes: oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, antique nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, zinc dichromate, polished brass, brushed brass, antique brass, and US3/4. That covers most of what you would already have on an existing opening, so a property manager replacing hinges across a floor can usually match rather than swap every door. Zinc dichromate is the utility choice where the hinge is hidden and the finish does not matter.

Both screw types ship with the hinge: #10 x 1 wood screws for a wood door or wood jamb, and #10 x 1/2 machine screws for a hollow metal frame that is already tapped. If the frame's hinge reinforcement is not tapped, or the existing holes are stripped, plan on tapping or using a repair plate. Nothing else is needed to hang the pair.

No. The Deltana DSH4R4 uses plain bearings. The BEST 2060R and RD2060R are also plain bearing spring hinges, both medium duty and standard weight, so they sit in the same bearing class. Plain bearing is the standard construction across the medium duty spring hinge group here, including the Hager 1250, 1251 and 1252 and the Orca 4014, 4040 and 4058 series, all listed at medium duty. If a specification calls for ball bearing construction specifically, that is a different hinge type and none of the spring hinges above satisfy it.
