Deltana S35R5 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 5/8" Radius Hinge, Residential Thickness, Steel (Pair)

Not handed. The S35R5 is a full mortise butt hinge with a removable pin, so the same pair works on a left hand or right hand door; you just flip it. The pin is not an NRP (non-removable pin) version, which is why these are for interior doors only. On an outswinging exterior door the pin would be accessible from the outside, and that is a job for an NRP hinge such as the Hager BB1168 with a non-removable pin.

It comes down to how the mortise was cut. The S35R5 has 5/8 inch radius corners, which is what a router and hinge template leave, and it is the standard on prehung residential doors. Square corner hinges are for pockets chiseled by hand or machined square. Put a square hinge in a radius pocket and the corners will not seat; put a radius hinge in a square pocket and you get four small gaps. Match what is already in the door. If yours are square, the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 pair or the Schlage Residential S3P1010 3.5 x 3.5 square corner plain bearing hinges are the same size in square corner.

The Deltana S35R5 uses a plain bearing at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". For a bearing hinge in the same 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" leaf size, the Emtek 94013 is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge sold in pairs, in plated steel with square corners. On 4" openings, the Delaney CH401X is a 4" x 4" commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners, and the Orca Hardware 3535 Series is a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square corner ball bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty. All three carry square corners rather than the 5/8" radius the S35R5 uses, so the mortise corners have to match the hinge you pick.

The Deltana S35R5 is a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" steel residential hinge with 5/8" radius corners, sold in pairs. The Delaney RH35xx is the same 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" size with 5/8" radius corners, also a bulk steel residential interior hinge sold in pairs, so it drops into the same mortise without recutting the door or jamb. If the doors already in the building have square-corner mortises rather than radius, the Emtek 91013 is a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" plain bearing residential hinge in plated steel with square corners, sold in pairs, matching the S35R5 bearing type but not its corner profile.

The Deltana S35R5 is a residential-thickness steel hinge with a plain bearing. For a commercial opening at the same 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" size, the Orca Hardware 3514 Series is a 3.5" x 3.5" plain bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty, though its corners are a 1/4" radius rather than 5/8". Where the frame takes a 4" leaf, the Orca Hardware 4014 Series is a 4" x 4" plain bearing commercial hinge, also medium duty with 1/4" radius corners, and the Orca 4040 Series is the same 4" x 4" plain bearing commercial hinge with square corners.

The Deltana S35R5 is furnished without a non-removable pin, so it is not the part to specify where the hinge knuckle is exposed on the outswing side. A hinge built for that is the Hager BB1168 NRP, a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty. Where the requirement runs to detention or high-abuse openings, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3" x 4" with a welded tip, heavy duty plain bearing.

The Deltana S35R5 is a plain bearing steel hinge with no conductor path through the barrel. To run power through the door, the hinge itself has to be an electric transfer hinge: the Command Access ETH-CB70 is an energy transfer hinge with a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base, rated medium duty, and the ETH-BB68 is the 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base version. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect, medium duty. Where door position also has to be reported back to the panel, 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.

Two things change the prep. The Hager 1129 is a plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2" but it is half mortise, so one leaf mounts to the frame face rather than into a routed frame pocket, and it will not sit in a full mortise cutout the way the S35R5 does, which is a full mortise hinge. The Hager 990 STEEL is full surface, mounting on the face of both door and frame with no mortise at all. Size is the other trap: the S35R5 is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2", while the Don-Jo HWBB75045 is 5" x 4-1/2" and the Stanley FBB191 is 4.5" x 4.5", both needing a longer and deeper cutout.

S35R5 hinges are sold by the pair, so a standard three-hinge interior door takes two pairs (you will have a spare leaf set) or you order in multiples to cover the count. They are packed bulk in case quantities only, which suits a builder or property manager doing a run of doors rather than a one-door repair.

Ten finishes across brass, nickel, chrome and black: Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Paint Black. That covers the common residential trim families, so a property manager restocking a building can hold one hinge model and match whatever knob or lever finish is already on the doors.

Yes, #9 x 3/4 inch wood screws ship with the hinges. That length bites a wood door edge and jamb but does not reach the framing behind the jamb, so if you are hanging a heavier slab or a door that gets abused, plan on driving longer screws through the jamb leaf into the stud yourself.

The S35R5 uses an arc hole pattern, the staggered layout standard on residential butt hinges, so on a prehung door originally hung with radius corner residential hinges the holes generally land on the existing pilots. If the door came with a straight-line hole pattern, expect to drill fresh pilots. Screws provided are #9 x 3/4 inch.

No. The Deltana S35R5 is a plain bearing full mortise hinge with no spring in the barrel, so the door stays where it is left. For self-closing action built into the hinge, the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge at 4.5" x 4.5" with square corners on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. Where the door has to swing both ways, the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which is a pivot set rather than a mortise hinge and takes different door and floor prep.

The Deltana S35R5 is sold by the pair at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". For a full 3-hinge door out of one carton, the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5" x 3.5" square corner plain bearing mortise hinge packed three to a pack, medium duty. The Ives 1010RP is also a set of three, a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners, medium duty in the 1000 series. Both match the S35R5 plain bearing type; both are square corner, so they suit a square-cornered mortise rather than the 5/8" radius the S35R5 fits.

The Deltana S35R5 is a residential-thickness steel hinge at .085 with a plain bearing. Staying at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2", the Emtek 92013 is a heavy duty plain bearing hinge pair in plated steel with square corners, keeping the plain bearing action in a heavier leaf. The Emtek 96213 is another heavy duty 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" hinge pair with square corners. For a larger commercial leaf, the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" in satin chrome.

The Deltana S35R5 carries a plain bearing, where the knuckles bear directly on one another and no bearing race shows between them. A concealed bearing hinge hides the bearing inside the knuckle: the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise steel hinge rated medium duty, the Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight steel version with 3 knuckles, and the Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge with 2-knuckle steel construction, medium duty. The S35R5 is residential; those concealed bearing models are the commercial line and carry duty ratings for higher cycle openings.

The Deltana S35R5 is a steel hinge offered in ten finishes including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Brushed Nickel, Polished Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Paint Black, so the finish range already covers most decorative schedules. Where the barrel profile itself is the design element, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2" by 4-1/2", standard duty, which reads very differently from the round barrel of the S35R5. For a non-ferrous body, the McKinney T2314 is a non ferrous standard weight 5 knuckle hinge, medium duty.
