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

The security on the S44R5-SEC is a security stud (Deltana calls it a security tab): a stud on one leaf that seats into a matching hole in the opposite leaf when the door is closed, so the door stays captive in the frame even if the pin is removed. It is not an NRP hinge, so the pin itself can still be driven out. If your spec calls specifically for a non-removable pin set screw rather than an interlocking stud, this is the wrong part and the Hager BB1168 is the non-removable-pin option.

It fits if the existing cutout is a 4 by 4 mortise with 5/8 inch radius corners, which is the standard residential prep on most pre-hung doors. Match the corner profile: a 5/8 inch radius hinge will not sit right in a square-corner mortise, and a 1/4 inch radius prep needs a 1/4 inch radius hinge such as the Orca Hardware 4014 Series. The S44R5-SEC is full mortise, so both leaves let into the door edge and the frame.

No. The S44R5-SEC is a residential-duty plain bearing steel hinge, meant for interior openings. Plain bearing means no ball bearing race between the knuckles, so it is not built for the cycle counts or door weights of a commercial entry or a high-traffic corridor. For that, go to a ball bearing commercial hinge such as the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge or the Orca Hardware 3535 Series.

Not without recutting the mortise. The S44R5-SEC is a 4 by 4, so it is a half inch taller and half inch wider than a 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 prep on both leaves. Either enlarge the mortise on the door and jamb, or stay at 3-1/2 inches with something like the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing pair, which is 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 (square corners, so check your corner profile too).

The Deltana S44R5-SEC is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel full mortise hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, sold as a pair. The Delaney RH45xx is the nearest match on size and corner profile: a 4 inch by 4 inch bulk residential hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, also sold as a pair, from the Exterior Residential Hinges series. Delaney also offers the RH40xx, a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge for Castlegate doors in a 5/8 inch radius by square corner combination. The difference to check before ordering is the security stud - the Deltana carries one, and the Delaney residential hinges are described without that feature.

The Deltana S44R5-SEC has 5/8 inch radius corners, so it will not drop into a square corner mortise without rework. For a square corner prep 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, medium duty, which matches the plain bearing action of the Deltana. The Delaney CH401X is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners if the opening calls for bearing knuckles instead.

They are two different anti-removal approaches and the Deltana S44R5-SEC uses only one of them. The S44R5-SEC carries a security stud, also called a security/locking tab, and is not a non-removable pin hinge. A stud interlocks the two leaves so the door cannot be lifted out even if the pin is driven, but the pin itself still comes out. If the specification calls for a fixed pin, the Hager BB1168-NRP is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge, heavy duty. Buyers who ask for a security hinge should confirm which of the two features the spec actually names.

The Deltana S44R5-SEC is a residential-rated plain bearing hinge, which suits interior doors in a home or apartment unit rather than a door cycling all day. For commercial traffic in a full mortise prep, the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge at a medium duty rating, and the Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight concealed bearing version of the same 3-knuckle full mortise pattern. Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, which requires a larger mortise than the 4 inch by 4 inch Deltana.

Two. The S44R5-SEC is sold by the pair, and screws are included: #9 x 1 inch wood screws. A standard interior door usually takes three hinges, so a single door is one pair plus one more hinge, or two pairs if you want a spare. Order the same finish across the opening.

0.085 inch steel. That is residential gauge, which is why it pairs with a #9 x 1 inch wood screw into a wood jamb rather than a machine screw into a hollow metal frame. If you are hanging a heavy solid core or a metal door, step up to a heavy weight hinge instead.

Different problems. A security stud hinge like the Deltana S44 is a standard residential butt hinge with an interlocking tab, aimed at an out-swinging door where the barrel is exposed and someone could pull the pin. A detention or prison hinge, such as the BEST BB855 double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge or the Hager 990 full surface prison hinge with a welded tip, is a heavy duty assembly built for institutional attack resistance and a much heavier door. For a house, apartment, or light commercial out-swing, the stud hinge is the right class of part.

They serve different openings despite both being called security hardware. The Deltana S44R5-SEC is a residential 4 inch by 4 inch full mortise hinge whose security feature is a stud in the leaf. A detention hinge is a different class of product: the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge from the Detention Hardware series, the Stanley BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip. Those mount and prep differently and are sized for detention door assemblies, not a 4 inch by 4 inch residential mortise.

The Deltana S44R5-SEC is a plain bearing steel hinge with a security stud and carries no wiring path. For a powered opening, an electrified hinge is the substitute: the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect at a medium duty rating, and the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3-knuckle standard weight steel energy transfer hinge, also medium duty. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 combines energy transfer with door position sensing on the same 3-knuckle steel base.

Both are 4 inch by 4 inch full mortise plain bearing steel hinges with radius corners, so they are close on pattern. The corner radius is where they part: the Deltana S44R5-SEC is cut with 5/8 inch radius corners, while the Orca COM4014 is a 1/4 inch radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge at a medium duty rating. A 5/8 inch radius hinge will not seat cleanly in a frame routed for 1/4 inch radius, so match the radius to the existing prep. The Deltana also carries the security stud, which the Orca is not described with.

No. The Deltana S44R5-SEC is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves mortise into the door and the frame. Where only one side takes a mortise, the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch that mounts to the face of the door and frame. Mounting method is not interchangeable, so confirm the existing prep before ordering either way.

Seven: oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, and white. For a property manager matching an existing building standard, that covers both the plated and the painted options, and white is the one to pick when the hinges are meant to disappear into painted trim.
