Emtek 94033-US7 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek 94033 hinge fit a 1-3/4 inch interior door?
Yes. The 94033 full mortise ball bearing hinge is rated for interior doors up to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers both the 1-3/8 inch doors common in older interior openings and the 1-3/4 inch thickness used on heavier solid-core slabs. It is a residential-rated hinge, so it belongs on interior residential and light multi-family openings rather than on a commercial fire door.
2) How many Emtek 94033 hinges do I need for one door, and do screws come with them?
The 94033 ships as a pair with mounting screws included, so a standard interior door hung on three hinges needs two packs and leaves you a spare. Doors hung on two hinges take a single pack. No separate screw pack is required.
3) Can I use the Emtek 94033 on a commercial office or apartment corridor door?
No. The 94033 is a residential-duty hinge, and corridor, stairwell, and other commercial openings want a commercial hinge with the matching duty rating. For those, look at the Ives 3CB1HW heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge, the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2, or the Hager BB1168 in a non-removable pin version for out-swinging doors where the pin is reachable.
4) My existing door has 3-1/2 inch hinges but the door is heavy. Should I step up to a 4 inch hinge?
Not without recutting. The 94033 is 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 and drops into an existing 3-1/2 inch mortise; a 4 inch hinge means chiseling both the door edge and the jamb deeper and taller. The better move on a heavy 3-1/2 inch opening is to stay at that size and go to a ball bearing hinge like this one, which handles weight better than the plain bearing hinge it is probably replacing. If you are in a position to recut, 4 by 4 residential options include the Delaney RH40xx in 5/8 inch radius.
5) I need a cheaper bulk hinge in 3-1/2 inch with 5/8 inch radius corners. What else is there?
The Delaney 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 bulk steel residential interior hinge is the closest straight substitute, same size, same 5/8 inch radius corner, sold as a pair, so it drops into the same mortise. The trade-off is finish coordination: the Emtek 94033 is offered in eleven Emtek finish codes that match Emtek levers and knobs, which is the reason to pay for it when the hinges are visible on a finished opening. On closet and utility doors where nobody looks at the hinge, the Delaney does the same mechanical job.
6) The mortise has 1/4 inch radius corners. Does the Emtek 94033 fit, and what does?
No. The Emtek 94033 has 5/8 inch radius corners, a noticeably rounder corner than a 1/4 inch radius pocket, and the leaf will not seat cleanly in a 1/4 inch radius mortise. For a 1/4 inch radius pocket at the same 3-1/2 inch leaf size, the Orca Hardware COM3514 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch by 1/4 inch radius corner plain bearing commercial hinge at medium duty. At 4 inch, the Orca Hardware COM4014 is the 4 inch by 4 inch by 1/4 inch radius corner equivalent. Measure the corner against a coin before ordering, since 1/4 and 5/8 radius look similar at a glance.
7) I have square corner mortises, not radius. What hinge should I use instead of the Emtek 94033?
The Emtek 94033 has 5/8 inch radius corners and will leave a gap at the corners of a square-cut mortise. For a square corner pocket at the same 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch size, the Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 square corner residential hinge sold in pairs, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 by 3.5 square corner plain bearing mortise hinge supplied in packs of three. Square corner pockets are what you find on doors mortised by hand or with a chisel rather than a router template.
8) I need a hinge with a non-removable pin for an out-swinging door. Does the Emtek 94033 do that, and what does?
The Emtek 94033 is a standard full mortise ball bearing hinge. For an opening where the barrel is exposed on the outside and the pin needs to be secured, the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge, and the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge with a non-removable pin sold in pairs. The Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch security steel hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners in pairs, which keeps the same radius corner profile as the 94033 at the larger size.
9) What is the difference between a ball bearing hinge and a plain bearing hinge on an interior door?
Ball bearings sit between the knuckles and carry the door's weight on a rolling surface, so the door swings quietly and the knuckles do not wear oval over years of use. Plain bearing hinges are metal on metal and are cheaper, which is fine on a light hollow-core door but starts to squeak and sag under a heavy solid-core or tall slab. The Emtek 94033 is the ball bearing type. If the door is light and you just want a matching residential hinge, plain bearing options in the same family of sizes include the Ives 1010RP and the Schlage Residential S3P1010.
10) Is the Emtek 94033 solid brass or steel?
Plated steel. The base material is steel and the finish is applied as a plating, which is how the 94033 carries brass, nickel, bronze and black finishes at a steel hinge's strength. It is part of Emtek's steel collection rather than a solid brass hinge, so on an exterior or coastal opening a solid brass or non-ferrous hinge is the better choice.
11) What finishes does the Emtek 94033 hinge come in so I can match my levers and knobs?
Eleven finishes: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), 606 Satin Brass (US4), French Antique (US7), 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, Medium Bronze (MB), Tumbled White Bronze (TWB), Polished Nickel (US14), 619 Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), and 625 Bright Chrome. These are Emtek's own finish codes, so ordering the hinge in the same code as the lever or knob gives you a matched set across the opening. That matters most when you are standardizing a whole floor or building and want every visible hinge to read the same.
12) What is the leaf thickness on the Emtek 94033 hinge?
The leaves run 0.118 to 0.126 inches thick. That is the number that decides whether the hinge sits flush in an existing mortise: a leaf noticeably thicker than what came out will hold the door proud of the jamb and throw off the gap at the latch edge, so if the old hinge measured in that same range the 94033 swaps in without deepening the pocket.
13) Can I use a half mortise or full surface hinge instead of the Emtek 94033?
Only if the door and frame are prepped for it. The Emtek 94033 is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves recess into pockets in the door edge and the frame. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, which mortises into the door but applies to the face of the frame. The Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip, which surface-mounts to both. These are not interchangeable with a full mortise prep; the mounting method has to match the opening you already have.
14) Can I use a Command Access ETH-BB68 in place of an Emtek 94033?
No. The Command Access ETH-BB68 is an energy transfer hinge, a 5 knuckle heavy duty steel base unit in the ETH 5 Series that carries power through the hinge to an electrified lock or strike. The Emtek 94033 is a non-electronic ball bearing hinge. If the door has no wiring in it, the energy transfer hinge adds a raceway you have nothing to connect. The same applies to the Command Access ETM-BB68, which is an energy transfer monitor hinge with an integrated door position switch, and the BEST CECB179-12C, a full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect.
15) For a multifamily unit turn, is the Emtek 94033 or a bulk commercial ball bearing hinge the better fit for interior doors?
The Emtek 94033 is a residential ball bearing hinge at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with 5/8 inch radius corners, sold in pairs with screws, in 11 coordinating finishes for matching the rest of the door hardware on the unit. The Delaney CH401X is a 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners, which suits openings already cut for a 4 inch square leaf. The choice comes down to the existing mortise: 3-1/2 inch radius pockets take the 94033, 4 inch square pockets take the CH401X.
16) I need to hang a heavy solid core or lead-lined door. Is the Emtek 94033 enough hinge?
The Emtek 94033 is a residential ball bearing hinge for interior doors up to 1-3/4 inch thick at a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch leaf. For heavier door weight, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch in steel with a satin chrome finish, and the Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in brass with a satin chrome finish. Both are heavy duty and use a taller leaf than the 94033, which means new prep on both the door edge and the frame rabbet.
17) What is a simpler hinge than the Emtek 94033 for low-traffic interior doors?
The Emtek 94033 uses ball bearing construction for smooth quiet swing over the life of the door. On a closet or bedroom door that sees light use, a plain bearing hinge covers the same job with a simpler knuckle. The Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners supplied in sets of three, and the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 by 3.5 square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in packs of three, matching the 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch leaf size of the 94033. Both have square corners, so confirm the mortise corner shape before ordering against a 5/8 inch radius pocket.
18) What is the difference between the Emtek 94033 and a concealed bearing hinge like the Ives 3CB1?
The Emtek 94033 carries its bearings in a visible race between the knuckles, part of the look of a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch plated steel hinge with 5/8 inch radius corners. The Ives 3CB1 is a steel 3-knuckle full mortise hinge with the bearing concealed inside the knuckle at a medium duty level, giving a smooth uninterrupted barrel. The Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight version of the same 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise design, and the Hager 920 is a 2-knuckle full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge, medium duty. Knuckle count and barrel appearance are the visible difference when hinges on adjacent doors need to match.
19) What should I use instead of the Emtek 94033 on a detention or high-security opening?
The Emtek 94033 is a residential hinge and is not built for attack-resistant openings. For detention work, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, and the Stanley Security BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, which allows the fabricator to drill and swage to the frame. The BEST CB1969R is a concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge, heavy duty, for openings where the top of the door needs pivot reinforcement.
20) The door needs to swing both directions. Will the Emtek 94033 work?
No. The Emtek 94033 is a full mortise hinge and swings one direction only. For a door that needs to push both ways, the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors. It is a pivot rather than a hinge, so it mounts at the top and bottom of the door instead of in leaf pockets along the edge, and the opening has to be prepped for pivot hardware from the start.
21) Is a McKinney MacPro MP79 the same thing as an Emtek 94033?
They are both full mortise hinges but not the same specification. The McKinney MP79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle full mortise hinge at a standard weight, standard duty level, and the MPB79 is the MacPro 5-knuckle standard weight variant. The Emtek 94033 is a ball bearing hinge in plated steel at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with 5/8 inch radius corners, sold in pairs with screws included. If you are matching an existing opening, the deciding facts are leaf size and corner radius, not the family name.
22) I want a decorative hinge to match ornamental door hardware rather than the Emtek 94033. What are my options?
The Emtek 94033 is a plated steel hinge offered in 11 finishes including Polished Brass Lifetime, Satin Nickel, Flat Black, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, intended to coordinate with Emtek door hardware. If the barrel itself should be a design element, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, standard duty, which reads as a squared barrel rather than the rounded knuckles of the 94033. For solid brass in a non-ferrous base, the McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous hinge, standard weight, 5 knuckle, medium duty.
