Don-Jo DON-HWBB85045-626-SA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do the Don-Jo HWBB85045 heavy weight hinges come with non-removable pins, or do I order NRP separately?
Non-removable pins are standard on the HWBB85045, not an add-on suffix. That matters on any out-swinging exterior or corridor door where the barrel is exposed on the secure side, since the set screw stops the pin being driven out with the door closed. If you are matching existing openings that were specified NRP, this hinge already meets that.
2) Is this Don-Jo hinge heavy enough for a high-traffic door with a closer on it?
That is what it is built for. The HWBB85045 is a heavy duty, commercial-rated full mortise hinge with a 5-knuckle ball bearing barrel, which is the configuration used on doors carrying a closer and high cycle counts. Ball bearings take the vertical load off the knuckles, so the door does not sag or start to bind the way a plain bearing hinge will under a closer.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Don-Jo HWBB85045 if I need a steel heavy duty ball bearing hinge with NRP?
The Hager BB1168 NRP is the direct counterpart: full mortise, ball bearing, heavy duty, with non-removable pin. The difference from the Don-Jo is base metal and finish family, so if the rest of the building is already on Hager hinges that is the cleaner match. Where you want a concealed barrel instead of a visible 5-knuckle, the Ives 3CB1HW is a heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge.
4) Do I need a heavy weight hinge like the Don-Jo HWBB85045 for a standard commercial interior door?
Not necessarily. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge built for heavy commercial doors. For a lighter interior commercial opening, the Orca Hardware 3535 Series 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge is a medium duty ball bearing option in the same square corner prep, and the Ives 3CB1 is a medium duty concealed bearing full mortise hinge. Step up to the HWBB85045 when door weight or traffic frequency is the driver.
5) Can I use the Don-Jo HWBB85045 on a door that needs power transferred to an electrified lock?
No. The HWBB85045 is a mechanical ball bearing hinge with no conductor path. For power transfer through the hinge, use an energy transfer hinge such as the Command Access ETH-BB68, a heavy duty 5-knuckle steel base hinge in the ETH 5 Series, or the BEST CECB179-12C full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. If you also need door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch. The Don-Jo can carry the remaining hinge locations on the same opening.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Don-Jo HWBB85045 heavy weight ball bearing hinge from another brand?
The Hager BB1168-NRP is the nearest match. Like the Don-Jo HWBB85045, it is a full mortise ball bearing hinge in a heavy duty rating with a non-removable pin. The HWBB85045 is brass with a 5-knuckle ball bearing build and square corners, so if your frame prep is square corner and you want a brass base rather than steel, stay with the Don-Jo; if the opening is already specified around the Hager BB1168 series, that hinge covers the same full mortise ball bearing heavy duty application.
7) Brass or steel hinge for a coastal or high-humidity opening?
The HWBB85045 is brass, not plated steel, so the base metal itself does not rust if the finish gets scratched or worn through at the knuckle. On exterior openings near salt air, pool rooms, or wash-down areas that is the reason to pay for a non-ferrous hinge. Most of the heavy duty commercial hinges in the same size class are steel base, including the Stanley FBB191 and the Ives 3CB1HW.
8) What standard does the Don-Jo HWBB85045 hinge meet?
ANSI A2111 is the standard cited for the HWBB85045, along with commercial grade construction. If your spec sheet or submittal calls for an ANSI-compliant heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge with NRP, this one answers that line.
9) Does the Don-Jo HWBB85045 have to be ordered handed?
No handing call-out is needed. It is a standard full mortise ball bearing hinge with a symmetrical 5-knuckle barrel, so the same hinge works on left and right hand doors. Handing only becomes an ordering question on electrified or concealed-conductor hinges, like the Stanley CECB1900R54L, which is specified left-handed with a 4-wire harness.
10) If I still want a heavy weight hinge but prefer a concealed bearing instead of a visible ball bearing knuckle, what should I use?
The Ives 3CB1HW is a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles. It carries the same heavy duty rating as the Don-Jo HWBB85045 but hides the bearing inside the barrel, where the HWBB85045 uses a 5-knuckle ball bearing arrangement. The BEST CB1969R is another heavy duty concealed bearing option, built as a pivot-reinforced hinge.
11) Is the Deltana CSB45N a substitute for the Don-Jo HWBB85045 since both have non-removable pins?
They are not the same class of hinge. The Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge sold in pairs with a non-removable pin, in the DSB45 Series. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a heavy duty full mortise ball bearing hinge in brass with 5 knuckles. Both give you the NRP security feature on an outswing door, but the ball bearing heavy duty build of the HWBB85045 is what carries a heavy, high-cycle commercial door.
12) What is the difference between the Don-Jo HWBB85045 and a standard weight 5-knuckle hinge like the Stanley FBB191 or McKinney MP79?
Weight class. The Stanley Security FBB191 in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge, and the McKinney MP79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle standard weight full mortise hinge. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a heavy weight ball bearing hinge in brass built for heavy commercial doors, with non-removable pins included. All three are full mortise 5-knuckle hinges, so the prep family is familiar; the choice comes down to door weight and cycle frequency.
13) Is the Don-Jo HWBB85045 the right hinge for a residential door?
It is built for commercial use as a heavy duty ball bearing hinge in brass. For residential openings, the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinges in 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 with square corners, the Deltana DSB35 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 square residential hinge, or the Delaney 4 inch by 4 inch exterior residential hinges are sized and rated for that work. Reserve the HWBB85045 for heavy commercial doors.
14) My opening needs the door to self-close without a closer - is there a heavy duty alternative to the Don-Jo HWBB85045?
Yes. The Stanley Security 2060R in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch is a heavy duty full mortise spring hinge with a square corner and ferrous steel base. It matches the square corner prep the Don-Jo HWBB85045 uses, but adds spring closing action the HWBB85045 does not provide, since the Don-Jo is a ball bearing hinge only.
15) For a detention or high-abuse opening, is the Don-Jo HWBB85045 enough or do I need something heavier?
The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a heavy weight commercial hinge with non-removable pins, which suits heavy doors and secure outswing openings. For detention-grade work, step up to a double weight prison hinge: 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 in 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip. Those are built for a different level of abuse than a standard commercial full mortise hinge.
16) The frame on my opening will not take a full mortise hinge - what heavy duty option works instead?
Look at a half mortise or full surface hinge. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight with a heavy duty rating, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a full mortise hinge and needs both the door edge and the frame rabbet mortised to receive the leaves.
17) I need a double acting swing for an interior commercial door - can the Don-Jo HWBB85045 do that?
No. The HWBB85045 is a full mortise butt hinge for single-direction swing. For a door that swings both ways, use the BEST DAP-3 heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which is a pivot rather than a butt hinge and takes a different floor and head prep.
18) My frame prep has radius corners, not square - what takes the place of the Don-Jo HWBB85045?
The HWBB85045 has square corners, which need a square corner mortise. For radius prep, the Orca Hardware 4014 Series 4 inch by 4 inch hinge with a 1/4 inch radius corner and the 3514 Series 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with 1/4 inch radius are commercial plain bearing hinges cut for that corner, and the Deltana DE44R5TA 4 inch by 4 inch uses a 5/8 inch radius. Match the radius to the existing prep before ordering.
19) Is there a non-ferrous alternative to the Don-Jo HWBB85045 for a corrosive or coastal environment?
The Don-Jo HWBB85045 itself is a brass hinge, which is non-ferrous and resists corrosion. If you need a lighter-weight non-ferrous option, the McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous 5-knuckle standard weight hinge at a medium duty rating. For heavy doors in that environment the brass, heavy duty HWBB85045 is the stronger choice of the two.
20) Does the satin chrome finish on this Don-Jo hinge match my other 626 hardware?
626 satin chrome is the finish, which is the standard commercial hardware finish paired with most Grade 1 levers, exits and closers. If your locksets and closers are already 626, the HWBB85045 will read as a match on the opening.
21) How are these Don-Jo heavy weight hinges packed for a multi-door project?
They ship in shelf packs of 24, which suits a contractor or distributor hanging a run of openings rather than a single door. At three hinges per commercial door, a pack covers eight openings.
22) Is a plain bearing hinge like the Emtek 92013 an acceptable swap for the Don-Jo HWBB85045 on a high-traffic door?
They work differently. The Emtek 92013 is a heavy duty plain bearing hinge in 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 with square corners, and the Emtek 94013 is the heavy duty ball bearing version at the same size. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 uses a ball bearing design, which is what carries high-frequency commercial cycling. On a busy opening, stay with a ball bearing hinge rather than a plain bearing one.
