Emtek 94014-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 94014 drop into my existing 4 inch hinge mortises?
If the existing mortises are 4 x 4 with square corners, yes. The 94014 is a full mortise hinge measuring 4 x 4 inches with square corners, so it seats in a chiseled square pocket in the door edge and jamb with no rework. If your current mortises have rounded corners, the 5/8 inch radius a router template cuts, a square corner leaf will not sit in them without squaring the corners with a chisel; for that prep look at a 4 x 4 radius corner hinge such as the Deltana DE44R5TA instead. And check leaf height before ordering, because 4 x 4 and 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 mortises are not interchangeable.
2) Emtek 94014 hinges are sold in pairs, so how many do I need to hang one door?
A pair is two hinges and the screws come with them. Standard practice on a 1-3/4 inch door is three hinges per leaf, so order two pairs per opening and you end up with a spare. Two hinges only covers a short, light interior door. Pricing out a whole building, count three hinges per door and round each opening up to whole pairs.
3) Do I want 4 inch or 3-1/2 inch hinges for my door?
Go by door thickness. The Emtek 94014 is 4 x 4 and is specified for doors up to 1-3/4 inches, the usual thickness for exterior and solid core doors. A 1-3/8 inch hollow core interior door normally hangs on 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 hinges, and moving from a 3-1/2 to a 4 inch hinge means cutting deeper and taller mortises in both the door and the jamb. If you need the smaller prep, the Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 square corner hinge and Delaney's 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 residential hinge is the 5/8 inch radius version of the same size.
4) Which hinge do I use on an outswing exterior door where the pins are exposed on the outside?
Use a hinge with a non-removable pin or a security tab so the door cannot be lifted off when the pin is on the unsecured side. Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner hinge sold as a pair with a non-removable pin, Hager BB1168 is a heavy duty full mortise ball bearing hinge with a non-removable pin, and Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel security hinge with a security tab, sold as a pair with a 5/8 inch radius corner. Check the prep before you pick: the Deltana CSB45N needs a 4-1/2 inch square corner mortise rather than the 4 inch square corner the Emtek 94014 sits in, and the DE44R5TA is a 4 inch leaf but with radius corners.
5) What hinge replaces the Emtek 94014 when the opening needs power carried through to an electrified lock?
You need an electric transfer hinge, which routes conductors through the barrel from frame to door. Command Access ETH-BB68 is a heavy duty energy transfer hinge with a 5 knuckle steel base in the ETH 5 Series, and ETH-CB70 is the 3 knuckle standard weight version at a medium duty rating in the ETH 3 Series. BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12 wire quick connect at a medium duty rating, and Stanley CECB1900R54L is a 3 knuckle concealed bearing concealed conductor hinge, steel full mortise, standard weight, 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner, left handed, with 4 wires. Wire count is the first thing to settle: a single electrified strike or latch retraction takes far fewer conductors than a lock with monitoring and request-to-exit. The Emtek 94014 is a non-electronic hinge, so it is the right part only on openings with no power crossing the gap.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Emtek 94014 4 inch ball bearing hinge?
The Delaney CH401X is the nearest match on the three things that decide whether a hinge drops into an existing mortise: it is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners, the same leaf size, bearing type, and corner profile as the Emtek 94014, which is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner ball bearing hinge in plated steel. Orca Hardware's 3535 Series is also a square corner ball bearing hinge, but it measures 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, so it wants a taller and deeper mortise than a 4 inch pocket. If you are matching existing 4 inch square corner cutouts, the CH401X is the swap that needs no router work; the Orca 3535 is the one that does.
7) Is there a plain bearing alternative to the Emtek 94014 for a low traffic interior door?
Yes. Orca Hardware's 4040 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty, which keeps the same leaf size and square corner profile as the Emtek 94014 and changes only the bearing: plain bearing rather than the ball bearing the Emtek 94014 carries. Ives 1010RP is another plain bearing option with square corners, sold as a set of three steel residential hinges at a medium duty rating. Ball bearing hinges are the choice where the door cycles constantly or carries weight; plain bearing suits closets, pantries, and interior passage doors that see light traffic.
8) Will a 4 inch radius corner hinge fit the same door prep as the Emtek 94014?
No. The Emtek 94014 has square corners, and a square corner mortise is cut with a chisel or a square corner template; a radius corner hinge leaf has rounded ends sized to a router bit. Several 4 inch peers are radius rather than square: the Orca 4014 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch plain bearing commercial hinge with a 1/4 inch radius corner, the Delaney RH45xx exterior residential hinges are 4 inch by 4 inch with a 5/8 inch radius, and the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel security hinge with a 5/8 inch radius. Drop a 1/4 inch radius leaf into a square pocket and you leave a gap at each corner; drop a square leaf into a 5/8 inch radius pocket and it will not seat. Confirm the corner style and the radius size off the existing hinge before ordering.
9) What should I use instead of the Emtek 94014 on a heavy commercial door?
Step up to a heavy weight ball bearing hinge in a larger leaf. Don-Jo HWBB74545 and HWBB84545 are both heavy duty full mortise ball bearing hinges at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch in satin chrome, and Don-Jo HWBB75045 is a heavy duty steel full mortise ball bearing hinge at 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch, with HWBB85045 in the same 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch size in brass. Hager BB1168 is a heavy duty full mortise ball bearing hinge with a non-removable pin. The Emtek 94014 is built for doors up to 1-3/4 inch thick and comes as a pair with screws; a heavy weight 5 inch leaf carries a wider or thicker slab and needs the frame and door prepped for the larger cutout.
10) Should I use ball bearing or plain bearing hinges on a solid core door?
Ball bearing, once the door has real weight in it. The Emtek 94014 uses ball bearing construction between the knuckles, which carries a solid core or heavy panel door and keeps the swing quiet as it cycles. Plain bearing hinges run steel on steel and are meant for lighter interior doors that are not worked constantly. For a hollow core interior door, a plain bearing hinge is the normal choice and comes in the same square corner prep, such as the Orca Hardware 4 x 4 square corner plain bearing hinge or the Ives 1010RP residential hinge with square corners.
11) Can I get Emtek 94014 hinges to match the levers and deadbolts already on my doors?
Eleven finishes are offered on the 94014: 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 hinge ordered in US15 lands in the same satin nickel as an Emtek lever specified US15, which is what makes it workable to run one finish across every opening in a building.
12) Will these hinges hold up on apartment unit entry doors?
For unit doors up to 1-3/4 inches thick, the 94014 is a plated steel full mortise hinge with a 0.118 to 0.126 inch leaf and ball bearings between the knuckles, which is what keeps a solid core door swinging quietly instead of dragging and squealing the way a plain bearing hinge does after a few thousand cycles. Emtek lists the 94014 for commercial as well as residential use. On the heavier openings in the building, a stairwell or a corridor door running on a closer, step up to a heavy weight hinge like the Ives 3CB1HW concealed bearing or the Don-Jo HWBB84545 in 4-1/2 x 4-1/2.
13) Do I have to order Emtek 94014 hinges handed, left or right?
No handing to specify. A full mortise butt hinge with square corners is symmetrical, so the same 94014 hangs a left hand or a right hand door and the only decision on site is which leaf goes on the jamb. Handing only enters hinge ordering on spring hinges and on electrified hinges where the wire exit is fixed to one side, the way the Stanley CECB1900R54L is called out as left-handed.
14) Do Emtek 94014 hinges come with screws, and is anything else needed to install them?
Screws ship in the box with each pair. Installation is full mortise, meaning both leaves are let into the door edge and the jamb, so what you actually need on site is a chisel or a hinge router template rather than more hardware. Emtek offers matching decorator tips if you want something other than the standard tip on the barrel, and those are ordered separately from the hinges.
15) Is there a hinge that reports door position as well as carrying power?
Yes, and it is a different part from a plain transfer hinge. Command Access ETM-BB68 is an energy transfer monitor hinge with an integrated door position switch, heavy duty, in the ETM 5 Series, and ETM-CB70 is the 3 knuckle steel base version with door position sensing at a medium duty rating in the ETM 3 Series. The ETH models beside them, ETH-BB68 and ETH-CB70, carry power only. Choose the ETM parts when the access control head end needs a door position input without a separate surface or recessed contact in the frame; choose the ETH parts when the panel only has to power the lock. The Emtek 94014 is a mechanical ball bearing hinge with no electronics, so it belongs on openings that are not monitored.
16) What do I use if the door has to close on its own without a door closer?
That is a spring hinge, not a bearing hinge. Stanley Security's 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with square corners at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch on a ferrous steel base, rated heavy duty; the spring lives in the barrel and pulls the door shut, and tension is adjusted at install. The Emtek 94014 is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner ball bearing hinge, where the bearings smooth the swing and the door stays where you leave it. Note the size difference before ordering: the Stanley 2060R wants a 4-1/2 inch square corner mortise, so it is not a drop-in for a 4 inch pocket.
17) What is the difference between a ball bearing hinge like the Emtek 94014 and a concealed bearing hinge?
It is where the bearing sits and what you see on the barrel. The Emtek 94014 is a ball bearing hinge, with the bearing races between the knuckles. Ives 3CB1 is a 3 knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge at a medium duty rating, 3CB1HW is the heavy weight concealed bearing version with 3 knuckles, and Hager 920 is a 2 knuckle full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge, also medium duty. Concealed bearing hinges hide the bearing inside the knuckle for a cleaner barrel line and fewer visible joints; the exposed ball bearing barrel of the 94014 reads as a traditional five knuckle profile. Both are full mortise parts, so the decision is appearance and duty rating rather than door prep.
18) What do I order if the frame will not take a full mortise hinge?
Look at half mortise or full surface hinges instead. The Emtek 94014 is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves mortise into the door and the frame. Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge in 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, which mortises into the door and surface mounts to the frame. Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip, rated heavy duty, and mounts to the face of both the door and the frame with no mortise cut at all. Half mortise and full surface are the answer on channel iron frames, metal-clad doors, and retrofits where cutting a new pocket is not on the table.
19) Is there a non-ferrous alternative to a plated steel hinge like the Emtek 94014?
McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous hinge in standard weight with 5 knuckles, rated medium duty. The Emtek 94014 is plated steel, and Stanley's 2060R spring hinge is built on a ferrous steel base, so the McKinney T2314 is the one in the set whose base material is not ferrous. That matters on coastal openings, pool enclosures, and wash-down areas, where a ferrous base under a plated surface will rust from any nick or drilled screw hole outward. On dry interior and protected exterior openings, plated steel is the standard choice.
20) What is the equivalent hinge if the existing mortises are 3-1/2 inch instead of 4 inch?
Drop to a 3-1/2 inch leaf and keep the corner profile matched. Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square hinge for residential use, sold as a pair, and Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge at a medium duty rating, sold three to a pack. If the existing pockets are radius rather than square, Delaney RH35xx is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch steel residential interior hinge with a 5/8 inch radius sold as a pair, and Orca's 3514 Series is 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with a 1/4 inch radius corner and plain bearing at a medium duty rating. Deltana DSB3 goes smaller still at 3 inch by 3 inch square, sold as a pair, for cabinet-scale and narrow closet doors. The Emtek 94014 is the 4 inch by 4 inch square corner size, so it fits only openings already cut for a 4 inch leaf.
21) How is the Emtek 94014 part number built for each finish?
Model 94014 plus Emtek's finish code. Satin nickel is 94014US15, polished nickel 94014US14, satin bronze oil-rubbed 94014US10B, medium bronze 94014MB, tumbled white bronze 94014TWB. Each number covers one pair of hinges, so a three hinge door takes two of the same number. Carrying the same finish code through the hinges, levers and deadbolts on an order is the simplest way to keep an opening reading as one finish.
22) Are prison hinges a heavier duty version of a standard ball bearing hinge?
No, they are a different part built for detention openings, and they are not a drop-in swap. BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge in the Detention Hardware line, Stanley's BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, and Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip. Furnished with no holes and not swaged means the hinge arrives blank for the fabricator to drill and set clearance, which is shop work rather than a field install. The Emtek 94014 is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner ball bearing hinge that arrives as a pair with screws for a standard full mortise opening.
23) Is the McKinney SQ3331 square barrel hinge the same kind of square hinge as the Emtek 94014?
They are square in two different senses. The Emtek 94014 is square in its corner profile, a 4 inch by 4 inch leaf with square corners and a ball bearing barrel. McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2 knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, rated standard duty, where the square shape is the barrel itself rather than the corners, and the two knuckle build gives a minimal joint line. Buyers matching a modern square-barrel aesthetic want the SQ3331; buyers matching an existing 4 inch square corner mortise want the 94014. Confirm which square the drawing is calling out before ordering, because the two do not share a leaf size or a prep.
