Deltana JB-DASH95 Solid Jamb Bracket for DASH95 Double Action Spring Hinge

No. The JB-DASH95 is cut for the Deltana DASH95 double action spring hinge and nothing else. Standard full mortise spring hinges such as the Hager 1150 or the McKinney 1502 mortise straight into the jamb and door edge and need no bracket at all. If you are not running a DASH95, you do not need this part.

The JB-DASH95 is a brass mounting bracket for a double action spring hinge, not a rated hinge assembly on its own. For openings where the hinge itself has to carry the listing, the Emtek 95013 is a UL listed spring hinge pair in plated steel, 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners, and the Design Hardware UL Spring Hinge is a medium duty UL spring hinge. If the requirement is a fire rating on an invisible closer, the SOSS 216IC and SOSS 220IC are heavy duty invisible spring closer hinges with a 20 minute fire rating.

The JB-DASH95 is a solid brass jamb bracket, an accessory that supports a DASH95 double action spring hinge rather than a hinge itself. If you want a spring hinge that goes straight into a mortised jamb with no bracket in front of it, the Hager 1250 is a full mortise spring hinge in steel, and the Hager 1150 is the same full mortise pattern in stainless steel. The McKinney 1502 is another full mortise square corner spring hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Those install into the hinge prep in the jamb; the JB-DASH95 is for the double action swing arrangement instead.

A bracket like the JB-DASH95 surface mounts and does not depend on a corner radius, so if your frames are already prepped for a mortised leaf you are choosing a spring hinge by corner shape. Square corner prep takes the Orca Hardware 4040 Series 4 inch by 4 inch square corner spring hinge or the BEST 2060R square corner spring hinge. A 1/4 inch radius prep takes the Orca Hardware 4014 Series or the Hager 1251, which has 1/4 inch round corners. A 5/8 inch radius prep takes the Orca Hardware 4058 Series or the Hager 1252 with 5/8 inch round corners.

Nine finishes: Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Antique Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Primed for Paint. Two points worth knowing when you are matching a fleet of openings. PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick if the bracket is going somewhere it gets handled or washed down, since the plating is far more wear resistant than standard lacquered polished brass. Primed for Paint exists so the bracket can disappear into a painted jamb rather than being matched to the hardware.

Solid brass through the body, not a plated steel core. Both the material and the substrate are brass, so the finish sits on brass rather than on steel underneath. That matters on interior swinging door openings where a plated steel bracket can rust at screw holes over time.

They are priced and sold each, not by the pair, so order one bracket per DASH95 hinge you are mounting on the jamb. Buyers used to spring hinges sold in pairs, such as the Emtek 95013 which ships as a pair, get caught out by this and end up one short on a two hinge door.

Plain bearing, same class as the BEST 2060R and BEST RD2060R spring hinges. Plain bearing suits medium traffic. On a heavily used opening, a kitchen line door or a busy service corridor, you want a heavier arrangement, and the SOSS 218IC and 220IC invisible spring closers are the heavy duty options in the spring hinge family.

No. The JB-DASH95 is a plain bearing item in the DASH95 double action family, but what ships is the solid brass jamb bracket. The BEST 2060R and BEST RD2060R are plain bearing spring hinges with removable pins, standard weight, in square corner and radius corner respectively - those are the swinging hardware. Ordering a 2060R when the job needs the bracket, or the reverse, leaves the opening incomplete.

The JB-DASH95 is a solid brass bracket in finishes such as oil rubbed bronze, polished chrome, brushed nickel and primed for paint, so it reads as visible trim on the jamb. If the hardware should not be seen at all, the SOSS invisible spring closer hinges conceal into the door and frame: the 216IC and the 220IC are heavy duty with a 20 minute fire rating, the 220IC calling for a 2 inch minimum door thickness, and the 218IC is a 7 inch heavy duty unit with a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness. Check your door thickness against those minimums before switching.

It is classed as commercial hardware. Bear in mind what it is paired with: a double action spring hinge is a free swinging arrangement, so this suits interior traffic doors, kitchen pass doors, and cafe doors rather than any opening that has to latch, seal, or hold a fire rating.

There is no NRP feature on the JB-DASH95, and no security pin option. On an exterior or secure opening that would be a concern, but a double action spring hinge assembly like the DASH95 is an interior application to begin with. If you need a spring hinge with a defeat resistant or removable pin arrangement, look at the BEST 2060R, which is a plain bearing spring hinge with a removable pin.

The JB-DASH95 mounts as a bracket for the DASH95 double action spring hinge and does not follow a mortise hole pattern. If your frames carry a Z hole pattern, the Orca Hardware SPR4058 Series 4 inch by 4 inch spring hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners is built in a Z hole version; the standard 4058 Series is the same 5/8 inch radius corner hinge without it.

The JB-DASH95 bracket is a commercial brass component with a plain bearing. Among spring hinges, the Hager 1250, Hager 1150, McKinney 1502, BEST 2060R and the Orca 4040, 4014 and 4058 Series are all medium duty. The heavy duty options are the SOSS invisible spring closers, the 216IC, 218IC and 220IC. If your traffic level is driving the decision, that is the line the comparable spring hinges fall on.
