Deltana S44R5 4" x 4" x 5/8" Radius Hinge, Steel (Pair)

The S44R5 is a 4 x 4 inch full mortise hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, so it drops into a pocket routed with a standard 5/8 inch radius corner template. If the existing mortise has square corners or a 1/4 inch radius, this leaf will not seat cleanly, and you would want a square corner or 1/4 inch radius hinge instead, such as the Orca Hardware 4040 Series 4 x 4 square corner or the 4014 Series 4 x 4 with 1/4 inch radius corners.

The S44R5 is a plain bearing hinge, meaning the knuckles ride metal on metal with no bearing race. That is fine for lighter interior doors on normal traffic. On a heavy or high cycle opening, or anything with a closer on it, the door's weight and the closer's force chew through a plain bearing much faster and you want a bearing hinge instead: the Orca 3535 Series 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 ball bearing, the Delaney CH401X 4 x 4 commercial ball bearing, or an Ives 3CB1HW heavy weight concealed bearing for the worst of it.

Deltana steel hinges are a value choice for indoor applications, and the S44R5 has a removable pin, which is the other reason to keep it inside. On an out-swinging exterior or a secured opening, the pin is reachable from the outside and the door can be lifted off. For exterior work look at a hinge with a non-removable pin, such as the Hager BB1168 NRP full mortise ball bearing, or the Delaney 4 x 4 exterior residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners if you want the same corner profile.

Hinge size follows door thickness and width. The S44R5 at 4 x 4 inches suits a 1-3/4 inch door up to roughly 36 inches wide, which covers most commercial interior and entry-width openings. On a lighter 1-3/8 inch interior door, 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 is the usual size, and there the Delaney 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 bulk steel residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners is the direct counterpart with the same corner profile. Measure the existing mortise before you decide; you cannot make a 3-1/2 inch pocket take a 4 inch leaf without routing.

The S44R5 is a mechanical plain bearing hinge with no wiring provision. For an electrified opening, the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3-knuckle standard weight steel base energy transfer hinge rated medium duty, and the ETH-BB68 is the 5-knuckle heavy duty version. The BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect, rated 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.

The Deltana S44R5 is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners. If the door prep is 3-1/2 inch rather than 4 inch, the Delaney RH35xx is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch steel hinge with the same 5/8 inch radius corner, sold as a pair. That is the direct size-down match on corner profile and material.

The Deltana S44R5 has 5/8 inch radius corners, which will not seat correctly in a square-cut mortise. At the same 4 inch by 4 inch size, the Orca Hardware COM4040 is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge, matching the S44R5 plain bearing action. The Delaney CH401X is another 4 inch by 4 inch square corner option, built as a ball bearing hinge.

The S44R5 is a plain bearing, full mortise 4 inch by 4 inch steel hinge. Where a bearing hinge is called for at the same nominal size, the Delaney CH401X is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners. At 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, the Orca Hardware COM3535 is a square corner ball bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty, and the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Note the corner profile and leaf size change with each of these, so confirm the mortise before ordering.

The S44R5 is supplied without a non-removable pin. Where the pin must not be pullable from the hinge side of an outswing door, the Hager BB1168 NRP is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty. For detention and 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 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip. Those are different mounting and construction classes, so confirm the door prep before substituting.

The S44R5 is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves mortise into the door and the frame. Where the frame side cannot be mortised, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, rated heavy duty, and it shares the plain bearing action of the S44R5. The mounting pattern is different, so the choice is set by how the frame is prepped.

The S44R5 is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel hinge with .085 thickness. Where the door weight calls for a larger, heavier leaf, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch in steel, and the HWBB85045 is a 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in brass. At 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, the Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge. All three require a larger mortise than the 4 inch by 4 inch S44R5 prep.

The S44R5 ships with #9 x 1 inch wood screws, which is what you want into a wood jamb and wood door edge. Into a hollow metal frame those screws are wrong; you would need machine screws matched to the frame's tapped holes.

Eleven finishes on the S44R5: oil rubbed bronze, bright nickel, satin nickel, antique nickel, flat black, bright chrome, satin chrome, bright brass, satin brass, antique brass, and white. If you are matching a building's existing hardware, satin nickel and oil rubbed bronze are the two that usually pair with modern lever sets, and white is there for painted interior doors where the hinge should disappear.

No handing to specify. The S44R5 is a full mortise butt hinge with a removable pin, symmetrical leaves, so the same pair works on a left hand or right hand door. Pick the size, corner style, and finish and you are done. Handing only becomes an order line on hinges with directional features, like the Stanley CECB1900R54L electrified hinge, which is specified left handed.

The leaf gauge on the S44R5 is .085 inch steel. That thickness matters when you are swapping into an existing mortise: a heavier gauge hinge will sit proud and throw the door out of the frame reveal, while a thinner one leaves the door sitting back. If the hinge coming out is around .085, this one drops into the same pocket depth.

For a fleet of interior openings it works well. One model number, S44R5, covers every 4 x 4 inch door with a 5/8 inch radius mortise, and eleven finishes mean you can match different wings or floors without changing the hinge itself. It cases 50 pairs bulk, which is how you buy for a re-hinge program rather than a single door. Where you have heavier doors or openings with closers, break those out to a bearing hinge instead of running plain bearing everywhere.

The S44R5 is sold by the pair, so a three-hinge door takes two pairs with one leaf left over, or a set-of-three product. The Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners sold as a set of three, rated medium duty, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both are square corner, where the S44R5 has 5/8 inch radius corners, so check the mortise cut.

Both make a plain bearing pair, but at a smaller leaf. The Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair in plated steel at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners, and the Emtek 92013 is the heavy duty plain bearing version of the same 3-1/2 inch square corner pattern. Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge sold in packs of three. All three match the S44R5 plain bearing action but are square corner and 3-1/2 inch, where the S44R5 is 4 inch by 4 inch with 5/8 inch radius corners.

No - those are different functions on the door, not size or finish variations. The S44R5 is a full mortise hinge with no closing action. The Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge, square corner, 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch on a ferrous steel base, which returns the door closed. The BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which lets the door swing both directions and mounts as a pivot rather than in a hinge mortise. Pick either only when the opening actually calls for that behavior.

The S44R5 is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel plain bearing full mortise hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, sold by the pair. The McKinney MP79 MacPro is a full mortise 5-knuckle standard weight hinge, and the MPB79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle standard weight hinge in the same family. Both McKinney models are rated standard duty. Match the leaf size and corner cut of whatever mortises are already in the doors before you settle the fleet on one of them.

The S44R5 is a standard exposed-knuckle full mortise hinge. Where the bearing and knuckle count are meant to be hidden, the Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge with 2-knuckle steel construction, rated medium duty, and it keeps the same plain bearing action. The McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch if the look rather than the bearing is what is driving the choice.
