Deltana S44R4HD 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Hinge, Heavy-Duty, Steel (Pair)

For a door that gets opened all day, no. Plain bearing hinges like the S44R4HD run metal on metal at the knuckle and will squeak and wear under constant use. Bearings are what you want there: the Ives 3CB1 concealed bearing full mortise hinge or the Orca Hardware 3535 Series 4-1/2 inch ball bearing hinge are both commercial-duty. Keep the S44R4HD for bedroom, closet, and other low-traffic interior doors where its .129 steel leaf carries the weight fine.

Radius corners, 1/4 inch. That matters because the corner shape has to match the mortise already cut in your door and frame. If your existing hinge pockets are square-cornered, this one will leave gaps at the corners and you want a square corner hinge instead, such as the Orca Hardware 4040 Series in the same 4 x 4 inch size. A 5/8 inch radius pocket, common on residential prehung doors, also won't match; the Delaney exterior and Castlegate residential hinges are cut to 5/8 inch radius.

Not for a door that swings out. The S44R4HD does not have a non-removable pin, so the pins sit accessible on the outside of an outswing door and the leaf can be lifted off. Use an NRP hinge on that opening instead, like the Hager BB1168 NRP full mortise ball bearing hinge.

Not without recutting. A 4 x 4 inch leaf is half an inch taller and half an inch wider than a 3-1/2 inch hinge, so it will not sit in an existing 3-1/2 inch mortise. If you're matching what's already hung, stay at 3-1/2 inches with something like the Emtek 92013 heavy duty plain bearing pair, though note those are square corner and the Deltana is 1/4 inch radius.

No. The Deltana S44R4HD is a plain bearing steel hinge with no wire path through the barrel. Power transfer through the hinge requires a purpose-built unit: the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base energy transfer hinge, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight energy transfer hinge rated medium duty, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch.

The Orca Hardware 3514 Series is a 3.5" x 3.5" x 1/4" radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge, the same corner radius and bearing type as the Deltana S44R4HD in the smaller leaf. For square corner 3-1/2 inch preps, the Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with square corners in plated steel, the Emtek 92013 is the heavy duty plain bearing version at the same size, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5" x 3.5" square corner plain bearing mortise hinge sold in packs of three. The Delaney RH35xx covers 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" bulk residential interior hinges at 5/8" radius.

The Deltana S44R4HD is cut with 1/4" radius corners, so it will not seat in a square corner mortise. The Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4" x 4" square corner plain bearing commercial hinge with a medium duty rating, and the Delaney CH401X is a 4" x 4" commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners. Either matches a square pocket at the same 4 inch leaf size. Check the existing pocket corners before ordering; hollow metal frames are commonly square while wood jambs are usually routed radius.

They are different bearing designs. The Deltana S44R4HD uses a plain bearing, which relies on the knuckles bearing directly on each other. The Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" with a heavy duty rating, and the Ives 3CB1HW is a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles, also heavy duty. Both are larger than 4" x 4", so swapping to one means a new mortise and new frame prep, not a straight pin-out swap. The Orca 3535 Series is a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square corner ball bearing hinge if the opening is already prepped at that size.

The Deltana S44R4HD is not supplied with a non-removable pin. Where the spec calls for one, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge with a heavy duty rating. For detention and correctional 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. Those are a different class of product from a residential steel hinge and carry their own frame prep.

No. The Deltana S44R4HD is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves mortise in. For a half mortise condition the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2" in standard weight steel with a heavy duty rating, and for a full surface condition the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3" x 4". Mounting method has to match the existing prep before leaf size matters.

Screws come with the pair: #12 x 1 inch wood screws for hanging into a wood jamb and door, plus #12 x 1/2 inch machine screws for a metal frame. No separate fastener pack to order.

Leaf gauge. The S44R4HD is a heavy-duty steel hinge with .129 leaf thickness, which is what lets a 4 x 4 inch plain bearing hinge carry a solid core door rather than a hollow core one. It's still a plain bearing, so it's built for door weight, not for high cycle counts.

Full mortise, so both leaves mortise in: one pocket in the door edge, a matching pocket in the frame, cut to the 4 x 4 inch leaf size with 1/4 inch radius corners. It is a drop-in on a door already prepped for a 4 x 4 hinge. On an unprepped slab you'll be routing both sides.

Nine finish choices across the S44R4HD: Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B-C, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you're standardizing a building, note there are two oil rubbed bronze options, the standard and the US10B-C, and they are not the same finish code, so pick one and stay with it across every opening.

The Delaney RH40xx is a 4" x 4" residential hinge pair for Castlegate doors in 5/8" radius by square, and the Delaney RH45xx is a 4" x 4" bulk residential exterior hinge pair in 5/8" radius. Both are sold by the pair at the same 4 inch leaf as the Deltana S44R4HD, which is also supplied as a pair and rated residential. The corner radius differs: the Deltana is 1/4" radius while the Delaney residential hinges are 5/8" radius, so confirm what the jamb is routed for.

The Deltana S44R4HD is a steel hinge offered in finishes including oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, and paint black. If the look calls for a different barrel profile, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2" by 4-1/2", and the Emtek 96213 is a heavy duty hinge pair at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with square corners. Both differ from the Deltana in leaf size, so the jamb prep governs which is usable.

The Deltana S44R4HD is sold by the pair, so a three-hinge door takes two pair with one leaf left over, or a hinge sold in threes. The Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners sold as a set of three, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5" x 3.5" square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both are square corner and 3-1/2 inch class, so they suit a different prep than the 4" x 4" radius corner Deltana.

The Deltana S44R4HD is a residential-rated steel hinge at 4" x 4". Heavier options include the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" in satin chrome, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 5" x 4-1/2" in steel with satin chrome, and the BEST CB1969R concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge, all rated heavy duty. Each is larger than 4 inches, so the door and frame have to be prepped for the bigger leaf.

No. The Deltana S44R4HD is a full mortise butt hinge that swings one direction. A door that swings both ways needs a double acting pivot such as the BEST DAP-3, a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors. That is pivot hardware rather than a butt hinge and uses top and bottom pivot prep instead of jamb mortises.

The Deltana S44R4HD is built on a steel substrate. Where a non-ferrous base is called for, the McKinney T2314 is a non ferrous hinge in standard weight with 5 knuckles, rated medium duty. The Delaney RH45xx is a 4" x 4" bulk residential exterior hinge pair at 5/8" radius if the requirement is an exterior-designated residential hinge at the same leaf size. Base material and corner radius both change with these, so verify the prep and the environment before substituting.

No handing to call out. The S44R4HD is a symmetrical 4 x 4 inch full mortise butt hinge, so the same pair hangs a left or right hand door. Handing only comes into play on hinges with wiring or a fixed pin orientation, like the Stanley CECB1900R54L electrified hinge, which is ordered left-handed.

No. The Deltana S44R4HD uses a plain bearing. Concealed bearing hinges hide the bearing inside the knuckle for a smooth barrel line: the Ives 3CB1 is a steel 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, and the Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge with 2-knuckle steel construction, also medium duty. They mount full mortise like the Deltana but are a different bearing design, and their leaf sizes must be confirmed against the existing prep.
