Emtek 92034 Heavy Duty Plain Bearing Hinges (Pair), 4" x 4" with 5/8" Radius Corners, Plated Steel

They're sold as a pair, screws included. A standard interior door hangs on two hinges, so one pair does one door. Heavier or taller doors typically get three, which means ordering two pairs and having a spare hinge left over. Order all of them at once so the finish comes from the same run.

The Emtek 92034 is a 4" x 4" plain bearing hinge with 5/8" radius corners, sold in pairs for residential use. The Delaney RH40xx is also a 4" x 4" residential hinge pair with 5/8" radius corners, offered with a square corner option as well, and the Delaney RH45xx is a 4" x 4" bulk residential hinge pair with 5/8" radius corners for exterior openings. All three drop into a mortise cut for a 4 inch leaf with rounded corners, so the pocket already routed in the door and jamb does not change.

The Emtek 92034 is a non-electronic plain bearing hinge and carries no wiring path through the barrel. To run power from the frame to an electrified lock or exit device, the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base energy transfer hinge, the ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight energy transfer hinge, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. If the opening also needs door position reporting, the Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch.

The Emtek 92034 has 5/8" radius corners, which suit a router-cut mortise. For a chisel-cut square pocket at the same 4 inch leaf size, the Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4" x 4" square corner plain bearing hinge, and the Orca 4014 Series is a 4" x 4" plain bearing hinge with a tighter 1/4" radius corner. Both carry a medium duty rating. Corner style has to match the pocket already cut in the door edge, so confirm the profile before substituting.

The Emtek 92034 is a plain bearing hinge specified for residential use. Plain bearing hinges rely on knuckle-to-knuckle contact rather than a bearing race. For a high-cycle commercial door, the Ives 3CB1HW is a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles, and the Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2" x 4-1/2". The Delaney CH401X is a 4" x 4" commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners, which holds the 4 inch leaf size while moving to a ball bearing knuckle.

The Emtek 92034 is a plain bearing hinge pair with 5/8" radius corners; its function is bearing type, not pin security. When the barrel faces the exterior, the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4" x 4" steel security hinge pair with the same 5/8" radius corner profile, so it fits the identical mortise. The Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square hinge pair with a non-removable pin, and the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge. Note that the 4-1/2 inch options require a larger mortise than a 4 inch leaf.

Leaf thickness runs 0.118 to 0.126 inches. That gauge matters when you're mixing new hinges onto a door that still carries old ones: a different leaf thickness changes how the door sits in the frame and can throw off your reveal on the latch side. Swap all the hinges on a leaf at once and the problem goes away.

Eleven finishes: Medium Bronze (MB), Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, Polished Nickel (US14), 619 Satin Nickel, Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), 625 Bright Chrome, Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), 606 Satin Brass, and French Antique (US7). Those are Emtek's own finish codes, so a US15A hinge matches a US15A Emtek lever or knob on the same door.

Steel, plated. The 92034 is built on a steel base and plated to the finish you order, which is why the finish list includes bronze and brass tones. Emtek groups it in the Brass collection for finish and styling coordination, but the substrate itself is steel.

No handing to specify. The 92034 is a full mortise butt hinge with two symmetrical leaves, so the same pair hangs a left hand or right hand door. Just orient the barrel to the swing side when you set it. Handing only becomes an ordering decision on spring hinges or electrified hinges with a wire exit, which this isn't.

Both are residential butt hinges with the same 5/8 inch radius corners, so they share a mortise prep. The split is finish and matching. The Emtek 92034 comes in eleven decorative Emtek finishes meant to coordinate with Emtek trim on the same door. The Delaney RH45xx is a 4 x 4 bulk residential exterior hinge with the same 5/8 inch radius, sold by the pair for volume work where the hinge just has to hang the door. Buying by the building rather than by the room, the bulk hinge is the usual call.

Model 92034 is the 4 x 4 inch hinge. Emtek builds this heavy duty plain bearing style in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 as well, so if your prep is the smaller size you want the 3-1/2 inch model rather than this one. Two 4 inch hinges will not fit a 3-1/2 inch mortise without recutting the door and jamb.

If the doors are hung on 4 x 4 hinges with rounded corners and the slabs are 1-3/4 inches or less, the Emtek 92034 pair goes back into the same mortise with the screws included. Worth knowing before you standardize a building on them: these are plain bearing residential hinges, so on a unit door that gets heavy daily traffic or carries a closer, a ball bearing hinge holds up better over the long run.

The Emtek 92034 is a plain bearing hinge, where the knuckles bear directly on one another. The Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, and the Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed bearing hinge with 2 knuckle steel construction, also medium duty. Concealed bearing hinges place the bearing inside the knuckle so the barrel reads as a plain barrel from the door edge. The 92034 is specified for residential openings; the concealed bearing peers carry a stated duty level for commercial use.

Both are plain bearing hinges, but they mount differently. The Emtek 92034 is a full mortise hinge, with both leaves let into the door and the jamb. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, meaning one leaf mortises into the door while the other surface-applies to the frame. Half mortise is used where the frame cannot be routed, so it is not an interchangeable swap for a full mortise pocket.

The Emtek 92034 is sold in pairs with screws included, so a three-hinge door takes two pairs with one leaf left over, or a pair plus a single. If a three-per-door count is preferred out of the box, the Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners sold as a set of three, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5" x 3.5" square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of three. Both of those carry square corners rather than the 5/8" radius corners on the 92034.

The Emtek 92034 is a 4" x 4" hinge offered in eleven finishes including Medium Bronze, Tumbled White Bronze, Polished Nickel, Flat Black and Polished Brass, so it is usually chosen where the barrel is visible. At 4-1/2 inch, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2" by 4-1/2", standard duty, which trades the rounded barrel for a squared one. The McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous standard weight 5 knuckle hinge, relevant where a non-ferrous base metal is wanted under the finish.

The Emtek 92034 is a plain bearing hinge; the bearing type governs how the door swings, not whether it returns to the frame. To bring the door closed on its own, the Stanley Security 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with square corners in 4.5" x 4.5" on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty. For a door that swings both directions, the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which replaces the hinge set entirely rather than dropping into the same mortise.

No. The Emtek 92034 is a 4" x 4" residential plain bearing hinge for doors up to 1-3/4" thick. The BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge in the Detention Hardware series, and the Stanley BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5" by 6" furnished with no holes and not swaged. Those are prepped for detention frames and a larger leaf, so they do not drop into a 4 inch residential mortise. Within the 4 inch size, a Delaney RH40xx or RH45xx residential pair stays in the same footprint.

The Emtek 92034 is a 4" x 4" hinge, which is more leaf than a light interior door needs. The Deltana DSB3 is a 3" x 3" square hinge sold in pairs, and the Orca Hardware 3514 Series is a 3.5" x 3.5" x 1/4" radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty. Both take a shallower mortise than a 4 inch leaf, so the pocket depth and screw pattern differ from the 92034.
