Deltana S44R4N 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Hinge, NRP, Residential, Steel (Pair)

The S44R4N is a 4 x 4 inch full mortise hinge with 1/4 inch radius corners and an arc hole pattern. It drops into an existing 4 x 4 mortise only if that mortise was routed with 1/4 inch radius corners. Square corner pockets and 5/8 inch radius pockets are the other two common shapes on residential jambs, and neither matches. Pull the old hinge and look at the corner of the leaf you removed: if it is a tight quarter-inch round, this is the right corner style.

Yes. The S44R4N carries a non-removable pin but it is a residential steel hinge with a plain bearing, so it is not the one for a heavy or high-cycle out-swing opening. The Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty, which gives you the same anti-removal protection on a hinge built for weight. Use the Deltana where you want NRP on an ordinary residential door and the finish needs to match the rest of the house.

No. The S44R4N is a residential-rated steel hinge with a plain bearing, .085 thick leaves. Plain bearing means metal riding on metal at the knuckle, which is fine for interior passage and bedroom doors but wears under weight and heavy cycling. For a heavy exterior slab or a commercial opening, go to a ball bearing or concealed bearing hinge such as the Orca Hardware 4014 Series 4 x 4 x 1/4 radius plain bearing commercial hinge for a light commercial swap in the same footprint, or the Ives 3CB1HW heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge where the door is genuinely heavy.

Not without recutting. The S44R4N leaf measures 4 x 4 inches, so it will not sit in a 3-1/2 inch mortise without deepening the pocket in both the door edge and the jamb, and the screw holes will not line up either. For a straight swap on a 3-1/2 inch prep, stay at that size with something like the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinges or the Delaney RH35xx 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 residential hinges. Note those are square and 5/8 radius corner respectively, so match your pocket corner as well as the size.

Corner shape, and it decides whether the hinge sits flush. The S44R4N has 1/4 inch radius corners, which suits a mortise cut by a router template. A square corner 4 x 4 like the Orca Hardware 4040 Series commercial hinge suits a pocket chiselled square, typically an older hand-cut jamb or a hollow metal frame prep. Putting a radius hinge in a square pocket leaves gaps at the corners; putting a square hinge in a radius pocket means it will not seat at all until you square the corners with a chisel.

It is not the right choice there. The S44R4N is supplied with #9 x 1 inch wood screws and has 1/4 inch radius corners, which is a wood jamb prep. Hollow metal frames are normally tapped for machine screws and prepped square corner in the standard commercial sizes. For a metal frame look at a commercial full mortise hinge such as the Ives 3CB1 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge or the Don-Jo HWBB74545 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 heavy weight ball bearing hinge.

The Deltana S44R4N is a 4" x 4" hinge and will not fit a 3-1/2" prep. For a 1/4" radius corner plain bearing hinge in the smaller size, the Orca Hardware 3514 Series is 3.5" x 3.5" x 1/4" radius corner plain bearing in medium duty. If the smaller prep is square corner and residential, the Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with square corners in plated steel, and the Delaney RH35xx is a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" steel residential interior hinge pair with 5/8" radius corners.

The Deltana S44R4N is cut with 1/4" radius corners, so it will not fill a square-corner mortise. The Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4" x 4" square corner plain bearing hinge in medium duty, which matches the square prep at the same 4" x 4" size. Corner style is the first thing to confirm when replacing an existing hinge, since a radius hinge in a square pocket leaves gaps at the corners and a square hinge will not seat in a routed radius pocket without rework.

No. The Deltana S44R4N is a plain bearing steel hinge with no electrical provision. For power transfer through the hinge, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is an energy transfer hinge with a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base in medium duty, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect, also medium duty. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 adds door position sensing on a 3 knuckle steel base.

It is sold by the pair, two hinges, and packed in bulk case quantities. A standard interior door normally hangs on three hinges, so one door takes a pair plus one more hinge, and two doors take three pairs. Count your openings in pairs before ordering rather than assuming a unit is one leaf.

Eight finishes on the S44R4N: oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, and antique brass. That covers both the warm and the plated families, so a property manager standardizing a building can usually match the levers and deadbolts already on the doors. Order all your openings in one finish at once, since plated and painted steel finishes shift slightly between production lots.

No handing to specify. The S44R4N is a full mortise butt hinge with a plain bearing and an arc hole pattern, so the same hinge works on a left or right hand door; you simply flip it. Handing only becomes an ordering decision on hinges with a directional feature, like the left-handed Stanley Security CECB1900R54L electrified hinge, where the wire exit has to be on the correct side.

Leaf thickness is .085 inch. That figure sets how deep you rout the pocket: the mortise has to be cut to the leaf thickness so the hinge sits flush with the door edge and jamb face. Cut too shallow and the door will not close against the stop, too deep and it hinge-binds. If you are replacing a different brand of hinge in the same pocket, check the old leaf against .085 before you assume the existing depth carries over.

Both are 4" x 4" residential steel hinge pairs, but the corner cut differs. The Deltana S44R4N has 1/4" radius corners. The Delaney RH45xx is a 4" x 4" bulk residential exterior hinge pair with 5/8" radius, and the Delaney RH40xx is a 4" x 4" residential hinge for Castlegate doors offered in 5/8" radius and square. The S44R4N also carries a non-removable pin, which the Delaney descriptions do not describe. Confirm the radius on the doors you are matching before ordering either, because 1/4" and 5/8" radius are not interchangeable in an existing mortise.

The Deltana S44R4N mounts full mortise, meaning both leaves seat into routed pockets in the door and frame. If only the door can be mortised, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2" standard weight steel, rated heavy duty. If neither leaf can be mortised, the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3" x 4" with a welded tip, heavy duty and plain bearing. Mounting method has to match the existing frame condition, since a full mortise hinge cannot be surface applied.

No. The non-removable pin on the Deltana S44R4N addresses pin removal on a residential steel hinge; it is not a detention product. For detention openings, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge in the Detention Hardware series, and the Stanley Security BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5" by 6", furnished with no holes and not swaged, rated heavy duty. Those are specified for the frame and door construction used in secure facilities.

The Deltana S44R4N is sold by the pair. Where a third hinge is needed per leaf, the Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners sold as a set of 3, rated medium duty, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5" x 3.5" square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of 3, also medium duty. Both are square corner, so check the corner cut on your doors before substituting for the 1/4" radius S44R4N.

The Deltana S44R4N is a steel hinge described as a value choice for indoor applications. Where a non-ferrous hinge is called for, the McKinney T2314 is a non ferrous hinge in standard weight with 5 knuckles, rated medium duty. Keep the S44R4N for interior residential openings where a plated steel hinge in the finish you need is the fit.

Steel, both base material and substrate, with the finish applied over it. That is why it is a value hinge for interior work rather than a marine or coastal exterior part. If a solid non-ferrous hinge is what the job calls for, the McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous standard weight 5-knuckle hinge. For dry interior openings the steel S44R4N does the job at a lower cost.

They are different hinge types. The Deltana S44R4N is a plain bearing hinge, where the knuckles bear directly on each other. The Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge in medium duty, with the bearing hidden inside the knuckle. Hager also offers the 920, a full mortise concealed plain bearing 2 knuckle steel hinge in medium duty. Concealed bearing units give a smooth barrel appearance with bearing action, which the 5-knuckle plain bearing look of a residential hinge does not.

The Deltana S44R4N is a standard steel hinge offered in finishes including oil rubbed bronze, polished brass, polished chrome and brushed nickel. For a square barrel profile, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2" by 4-1/2" in standard duty. That is a larger hinge than the 4" x 4" S44R4N and will need a wider mortise, so verify the door edge and prep before switching for appearance alone.
