Deltana S35R5-BT Steel Hinge with Ball Tips, 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 5/8" Radius Corners (Pair)

No. The S35R5-BT is a residential-duty plain bearing hinge in steel, intended for indoor use. Plain bearing hinges are for lighter doors and lower cycle counts. For a commercial opening or a heavy door, look at a ball bearing or concealed bearing hinge instead, such as the Ives 3CB1HW steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge or the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch.

Not if pin security is the concern. The S35R5-BT does not have a non-removable pin, and it's built for indoor applications. On an out-swinging exterior or a secured opening, the hinge pin sits on the outside and can be driven out, so specify an NRP hinge instead, such as the Hager BB1168 non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge.

Corner style and the decorative tip are the difference that decides it. The Deltana is a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch plain bearing steel hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners and ball tips installed. The Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge in the same 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch size but with square corners and plated steel. Match the corner to your existing mortise: square prep takes the Emtek, radius prep takes the Deltana.

No. At 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches it will leave a gap in a 4 inch mortise and won't line up on the screw pattern. For a 4 inch radius-corner prep, the Delaney 4 x 4 inch bulk residential exterior hinge in 5/8 inch radius matches, and for a 4 x 4 square-corner commercial prep the Orca Hardware 4 x 4 square corner plain bearing hinge is the fit.

The Delaney RH35xx is the nearest match: it is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch steel residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, sold as a pair, the same size, corner style, material and pair packaging as the Deltana S35R5-BT. The difference is dressing. The S35R5-BT carries ball tips and comes in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Polished Brass and Antique Brass, so it is the decorative version of the same opening; the Delaney is a bulk interior residential hinge. If you are matching mortises on an existing door and only care that the leaf and radius line up, either drops in.

Go to a square corner hinge of the same size. The Emtek 91013 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch plated steel residential plain bearing hinge with square corners, sold as a pair, and matches the Deltana S35R5-BT on size, material and plain bearing action. The Schlage Residential S3P1010 is the same 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge, supplied as a pack of three, which suits a door hung on three hinges without buying two pairs. The S35R5-BT has 5/8 inch radius corners, so it will leave a gap at the corners of a square mortise unless the pocket is chiselled out.

They are different things and the names mislead. The Deltana S35R5-BT is a plain bearing hinge whose ball tips are the decorative finials on the ends of the pin barrel. A ball bearing hinge carries bearings between the knuckles to take door weight. The Emtek 94013 is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge in the same 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch pair, with square corners, and the Emtek 92013 is the heavy duty plain bearing version of that same size and corner style. If the door is heavy or in constant use, the bearing type is what you are shopping for; if you want a decorative tip on an interior door, the ball tips on the S35R5-BT are the feature.

The Hager BB1168 NRP is a full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge supplied with a non-removable pin, which is what you want on an outswing door where the hinge barrel is on the exposed side. The Deltana S35R5-BT is not an NRP hinge, which is normal for an interior residential application where the barrel faces the secure side of the door. For a detention or high security opening the pin question is answered differently again: the BEST BB855 is a heavy duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a 3 inch by 4 inch full surface prison hinge with a welded tip.

The S35R5-BT is sold as a pair, so one order covers two hinges. Most interior passage doors at 3-1/2 inch hinge size use three hinges per leaf, so a single door takes two orders and leaves you a spare. Count your openings by pairs before ordering a building's worth.

Yes. #9 x 3/4 inch wood screws are specified with the hinge, which is a wood screw sized for a solid or engineered wood jamb and door stile. If you're hanging into a hollow metal frame, these screws are not what you want, and you'd need a machine-screw hinge and a tapped frame instead.

Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Polished Brass, and Antique Brass. The ball tips ship installed and are finished to match the hinge, so you don't order tips separately or worry about a mismatch on a visible door.

It's the R5 heavy duty option within Deltana's steel hinge line, with a .085 leaf thickness, but it's still classified residential and rides on plain bearings rather than ball bearings. Think solid core interior doors and heavier decorative slabs in a home, not a school corridor.

Yes. If the doors aren't a showpiece, the Delaney 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch bulk steel residential interior hinge in 5/8 inch radius drops into the same prep and is sold as a pair, same as the Deltana. The Deltana S35R5-BT earns its place where the hinge is seen, since it carries matching ball tips in seven finishes. Mixing them across a building is fine as long as the visible units stay consistent.

No, that requires an electrified hinge and the Deltana S35R5-BT is a plain mechanical steel hinge. For power transfer to an electrified lock, the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a heavy duty 5-knuckle energy transfer hinge on a steel base, and the ETH-CB70 is the 3-knuckle standard weight version. If you also need door position sensing, the Command Access ETM-BB68 is an energy transfer monitor hinge with an integrated door position switch, and the ETM-CB70 is the 3-knuckle version with door position sensing. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect for higher wire counts.

Two Delaney options carry the same 5/8 inch radius corner in a 4 inch by 4 inch leaf, both sold as a pair. The Delaney RH45xx is a bulk residential hinge for exterior doors, and the Delaney RH40xx is a residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius on one leaf and square on the other, intended for Castlegate doors, so check which corner your frame and door each need. The Deltana S35R5-BT covers the 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch opening with the same 5/8 inch radius, so a building running both door sizes can hold one corner style throughout.

The Deltana S35R5-BT is a standard full mortise hinge with no spring, so the door stays where you leave it. For self-closing, the Stanley Security 2060R is a heavy duty full mortise spring hinge with square corners in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch. For a door that has to swing both ways, the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which replaces the hinge set rather than supplementing it and needs floor and header prep the S35R5-BT does not.

The Deltana S35R5-BT is sold by the pair, so a three hinge door takes two units and leaves a spare. Peers that ship in threes cover it in one order: the Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners in a set of three, medium duty, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both are square corner, so they suit a square mortise rather than the 5/8 inch radius the S35R5-BT is cut for, and neither carries the ball tips.

The Deltana S35R5-BT is a full mortise hinge, so it needs a mortise cut in both the door edge and the frame. Where only the frame is mortised, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge, 4-1/2 inch, standard weight steel, which mortises into the frame and surface mounts to the door. Where nothing can be mortised, the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch. Both are a different prep from the S35R5-BT and are not a drop-in for a full mortise pocket.

No handing to specify. It's a full mortise butt hinge, symmetrical about the pin, so the same pair works on a left hand or right hand door. Just pick the finish.

The McKinney SQ3331 is a decorative hinge with a square barrel and 2 knuckles at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, standard duty, which gives a squared modern profile instead of a round barrel with finials. The Deltana S35R5-BT is the round barrel treatment, with matching ball tips installed and a choice of Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Nickel, Brushed Chrome and Antique Brass among its finishes. Note the size gap: the SQ3331 is a 4-1/2 inch leaf and the S35R5-BT is 3-1/2 inch, so they are not interchangeable in the same mortise.
