Deltana SS35R5-R 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 5/8" Radius Hinge, Residential,Stainless Steel (Pair)

That's the reason to pick the SS35R5-R over a plated steel hinge. It's solid stainless steel, both base and substrate, and Deltana positions the stainless line for waterside properties and outdoor use because it resists corrosion far better than standard steel hinges. On an oceanfront or poolside entry door, a plated steel residential hinge is usually the first thing to bleed rust down the jamb. Worth noting it's a residential-duty hinge at 0.085 gauge, so it's for house and light multi-family entries, not a high-traffic commercial opening.

Plain bearing, which is what the SS35R5-R uses, is the normal choice for a residential interior or entry door of ordinary weight and traffic. The knuckles ride metal on metal, which is fine at house cycle counts. Move to ball bearing when the door is heavy (solid core slab, an insulated entry with a storm door, a glass panel door) or the opening gets commercial traffic or a door closer, since the closer's constant load is what wears plain knuckles. In a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 size, the Emtek 94013 is a heavy duty ball bearing pair; the Orca Hardware 3514 Series is a commercial plain bearing hinge in the same 3.5 inch size but with 1/4 inch radius corners, so it won't seat in a 5/8 radius pocket.

Not as a security hinge. The SS35R5-R has a removable pin, not an NRP, so on an outswing door the pin is reachable from outside and can be driven out. For an outswing entry, use a non-removable pin hinge such as the Hager BB1168 NRP, or add hinge pin studs. On an inswing door the pin sits inside and it's a non-issue.

For an interior door away from weather, the Delaney RH35xx is the direct shape match: 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch residential steel hinges with the same 5/8 inch radius corners, sold as a pair, so they drop into the identical mortise. The Emtek 91013 is another 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 residential plain bearing pair, but in plated steel with square corners, so it needs a square pocket. The reason to stay with the Deltana is corrosion: on an exterior or coastal opening the stainless is what keeps the hinge from rusting.

No. The SS35R5-R is rated residential and runs a plain bearing at 0.085 material, which isn't built for closer load or commercial cycle counts. For that opening go to a ball bearing or concealed bearing commercial hinge: the Ives 3CB1 is a medium duty 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise, the Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight version, and the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight ball bearing at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches. Sizing up from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 usually means recutting the mortise, so check the existing pocket first.

The Deltana SS35R5-R is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch full mortise plain bearing hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, rated residential, in stainless steel. The closest match by size and corner style is the Delaney RH35xx, a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch bulk steel residential interior hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners, also sold as a pair. Both cover the same standard residential door prep with the same corner radius, so no mortise rework is needed to swap between them. The difference is base material: the Deltana is stainless steel, which is why it is specified for waterside and outdoor exposure, while the Delaney RH35xx is steel and sold for interior openings.

The SS35R5-R is cut with 5/8 inch radius corners, so it will not seat cleanly in a square corner mortise without rework. For a square corner prep at the same 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch size, the Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair in plated steel with square corners, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge sold in packs of three. Both share the plain bearing action of the Deltana; the Emtek and Schlage are plated steel rather than stainless.

The SS35R5-R is a plain bearing full mortise hinge rated residential. For a commercial-rated hinge at the same 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch size, the Orca Hardware COM3514 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch plain bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty. Note the corner difference before you order: the Deltana is cut to a 5/8 inch radius and the Orca COM3514 to a 1/4 inch radius, so the existing mortise corner radius decides which one drops in. Both use plain bearing knuckles rather than ball bearing.

The SS35R5-R is built only at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch, and hinge leaf size has to match the door prep, so a 4 inch opening needs a different part. The Delaney RH45xx is a 4 inch by 4 inch bulk residential exterior hinge with the same 5/8 inch radius corners, sold as a pair, and the Delaney RH40xx is a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge offered in 5/8 inch radius and square corner. Both keep the residential duty class and the 5/8 inch radius corner the Deltana uses, so the corner profile carries over to the larger prep.

The SS35R5-R is supplied without a non-removable pin, so on an out-swinging door where the barrel is exposed to the outside it does not defeat pin removal. Where that matters, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty. It is a different class of hinge - ball bearing and heavy duty rather than the Deltana's residential plain bearing - so confirm the leaf size and corner style match your prep before ordering.

No handing to specify. A full mortise butt hinge like the SS35R5-R is symmetrical, so the same pair works on a left hand or right hand door. Flip it and it's the other hand. Handing only matters on hinges with a directional feature, like an electrified hinge with a wire exit or a spring hinge assembly.

Each pair ships with #10 x 1 inch wood screws, which is what you want for a wood door and wood jamb. No machine screws are supplied, so if you're hanging into a hollow metal frame with tapped 12-24 holes, these aren't the right fastener set for that side. On a standard 6-foot-8 residential door you'll typically want three hinges, so plan on two pairs and a spare leaf, or order accordingly.

US32D, brushed stainless steel, and it's the only finish the SS35R5-R comes in. Since the leaf is solid stainless rather than a plating over steel, the finish is the material itself, so a scratch on a knuckle doesn't expose a different colored base metal underneath. That's the practical reason property managers use them where the same door gets bumped by carts or furniture.

The SS35R5-R is sold as a pair, two leaf-and-pin hinges per unit of measure. Most residential doors take three hinges, so a single door needs two pairs. If you're rehanging a run of doors, count the openings times three and round up. Note that some competing residential hinges ship in threes rather than pairs, such as the Ives 1010RP and the Schlage Residential S3P1010, so don't assume the quantity carries across brands when you're comparing.

No. The SS35R5-R is a plain mechanical hinge with no wire path through the barrel. Power transfer through the hinge requires an electrified hinge built for it: the Command Access ETH-CB70 is an energy transfer hinge with a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base rated 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 door also needs position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 adds door position sensing on a 3 knuckle steel base. All three are full mortise like the Deltana, so the prep concept is the same, but the door and frame must be wired.

Not on function. The SS35R5-R uses plain bearing knuckles, which is the standard action for residential-weight doors. A ball bearing hinge at the same nominal size, such as the Emtek 94013 heavy duty ball bearing hinge pair in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch plated steel, carries bearings between the knuckles and is built for heavy duty service, so knuckle height and barrel profile differ from a plain bearing hinge and mixing the two on one door leaves a visible mismatch. Note the Emtek 94013 is a square corner hinge while the Deltana is cut to a 5/8 inch radius. If you want to stay on plain bearing but move up in duty, the Emtek 92013 is a heavy duty plain bearing pair at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch, also square corner.

The SS35R5-R is a residential plain bearing hinge, which suits a normal-weight interior or entry door in a home or unit. For a door seeing continuous traffic or carrying more weight, move to a bearing hinge rated for it: the Ives 3CB1 is a 3 knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, and the Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight version, a steel concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles rated heavy duty. Both are full mortise like the Deltana, so they mount in the same style of prep, but you will need to confirm leaf size and corner style against the existing cutout.

The SS35R5-R is packaged as a pair, so a three-hinge door takes a pair plus one more, or a set. If you would rather buy by the set at the same nominal size and function, the Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge in a set of three, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both are square corner, so check that against the 5/8 inch radius corner the Deltana is cut to before treating either as a straight swap.

No. The SS35R5-R is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves recess - one into the door edge, one into the frame. A half mortise hinge mortises into the door only and applies to the face of the frame: the Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge, 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, rated heavy duty. A full surface hinge applies to the faces of both door and frame, such as the Hager 990 STEEL full surface prison hinge, 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip, heavy duty. Those preps are not compatible with a full mortise leaf, so match the mounting method already in the opening.

The SS35R5-R is a standard plain bearing butt hinge with no spring, so it will not close a door by itself. A spring hinge does that job from within the hinge: the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge, square corner, 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. It is full mortise like the Deltana, but the larger leaf and square corner mean a different door prep, so verify the cutout before substituting.

The screw holes are laid out in an arc rather than a straight line down the leaf. That's the common residential pattern, so on most prehung wood jambs it lands on or near the existing holes. It won't match a hinge whose holes are drilled in a straight vertical row. If a hole ends up half on the old one, plug it with a glued dowel or a golf tee and redrill so the #10 screw gets fresh wood.

No. The SS35R5-R is a full mortise hinge that mortises into the door edge and frame rabbet and swings the door from that edge. A pivot carries the door at the top and bottom instead and requires floor and header prep - the BEST DAP-3, for example, is a double acting pivot for commercial interior doors rated heavy duty, and a double acting pivot lets the door swing both directions, which a butt hinge cannot do. The two are not interchangeable in the same prep.

They differ on size, corner, material, and duty class. The SS35R5-R is 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with 5/8 inch radius corners, stainless steel, plain bearing, and rated residential. The Orca COM4040 is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty. Both are plain bearing, so the knuckle action is the same class, but the leaf size and corner profile mean each fits a different door prep and they cannot be mixed on the same opening. If your 4 inch prep has a radius corner rather than square, the Orca COM4014 is the 4 inch by 4 inch plain bearing commercial hinge with 1/4 inch radius corners.
