DynaLock ETH-1-2W-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size hinge is the DynaLock ETH-1 energy transfer hinge, and will it drop into a standard commercial hinge prep?
All ETH-1 and ETM-1 models ship as a 5-knuckle, standard-weight, 4.5 x 4.5 inch full mortise hinge. That is the standard commercial hinge prep on a 1-3/4 inch door, so it mortises into an existing 4.5 x 4.5 pocket in the door and jamb. The only extra prep is the wire path: the hinge has center-located wire access holes, so you need a raceway drilled through the door edge and the jamb behind the hinge leaves.
2) Should I order the 2-wire or the 4-wire DynaLock transfer hinge?
It comes down to current. The 2-wire version uses 20 gauge conductors and carries 4.0 continuous amps at 24VDC with a 16.0 amp surge per pair for 0.5 seconds, so it is the one for an electrified lockset or ELR exit device that draws real current, or where you want headroom for inrush. The 4-wire version is 26 gauge and rated 1.0 continuous amp at 24VDC with no surge rating, so use it when you need two separate low-current circuits, such as power plus a signal, rather than one high-current run.
3) What is the difference between the DynaLock ETH-1 and the ETM-1?
Same hinge, one extra function. The ETM-1 adds a built-in SPDT monitor switch for door position status reporting back to an access control panel or alarm point, while the ETH-1 only passes power. If you need door position status and were planning to add a separate recessed contact, the ETM-1 does both jobs in one mortise. Both are offered in 2-wire and 4-wire configurations.
4) Can I use a DynaLock energy transfer hinge on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The ETH-1 and ETM-1 energy transfer hinges are UL Listed for use on fire doors, which is what lets you run power to an electrified lockset or electric latch retraction exit device on a rated opening without violating the label.
5) Will a DynaLock ETH-1 hinge power an electric latch retraction exit device?
That is exactly what it is built for. The ETH-1 and ETM-1 pass low voltage power from the hinge jamb to an electrified lockset or ELR exit device. For latch retraction, check the device's inrush against the 2-wire version's 16.0 amp surge per pair at 24VDC for 0.5 seconds and 4.0 amps continuous. The 4-wire version tops out at 1.0 amp continuous with no surge rating, so it is not the choice for a motor-driven or solenoid latch retraction device.
6) What finish do the DynaLock ETH-1 and ETM-1 hinges come in?
One finish only: 626 satin chrome, also called US26D, a plated finish. If the rest of the butts on the opening are 626 or US26D it will match; there is no bronze or brass option in this series, so on a 613 or 605 opening you would be putting one off-finish hinge in the stack. Many spec writers accept that by placing the transfer hinge at the center position where it is least visible.
7) Is an energy transfer hinge better than a door loop or an electric power transfer for wiring an electrified lock?
A transfer hinge hides the run entirely: the conductors pass through center-located wire access holes inside the hinge, capped with non-conductive wire access caps, so nothing is exposed on the face of the opening. A surface door loop is easier to retrofit because it needs no concealed raceway, but it is visible and can be attacked. Choose the ETH-1 or ETM-1 when the door and frame can be drilled for a concealed wire path and you want the transfer point to look like an ordinary 4.5 x 4.5 butt hinge.
8) Do I replace all the hinges on the door with transfer hinges?
No. One energy transfer hinge per opening carries the power; the remaining butts stay as they are. Since the ETH-1 and ETM-1 are standard-weight 5-knuckle 4.5 x 4.5 full mortise hinges, they sit in the same prep as the existing butts on a typical commercial opening. On a heavy or high-traffic door running heavy-weight or ball-bearing butts, plan for this one to be standard weight and keep it out of the top position where load is highest.
9) Can the monitor switch in the ETM-1 report door position to an alarm panel?
Yes. The ETM-1 carries a built-in SPDT monitor switch, so you get both a normally open and a normally closed contact from a single common. That lets it feed a door position input on an access control panel or supervise into an alarm loop, whichever the panel expects, without adding a separate contact in the head of the frame.
10) Is the DynaLock ETH-1 hinge suitable for residential use?
It is a commercial product. The ETH-1 and ETM-1 are rated commercial and belong on access-controlled openings with electrified locksets or exit devices, typically in offices, healthcare, education and multi-family common areas. There is nothing stopping it on a residential door, but the 4.5 x 4.5 full mortise prep and a 24VDC power supply are commercial-style requirements a house door usually does not have.
