Emtek 95024 Spring Hinges (Pair), 4" x 4" with 1/4" Radius Corners, UL Listed, Plated Steel

The 95024 is UL Listed and is plated steel. Note that Emtek classifies it as residential hardware, so for a commercial fire rated opening under a facility spec, check the listing against your inspector's requirement. Spring hinges from BEST, Hager and McKinney in the architectural lines are the commercial-duty route.

The 95024 is the 4 x 4 inch size. Emtek's 95023 is the same hinge in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches with the same 1/4 inch radius corners, UL Listing and plated steel construction. Pick the size that matches the mortise already cut in your door and jamb.

On a light residential door, yes, and that is what the 95024 is for: the spring lives inside the hinge barrel so there is no closer body or arm on the face of the door. The tradeoff is you get no adjustable sweep or latch speed the way a surface closer gives you, and the hinge is residential duty. For a partition or a heavier commercial leaf, a spring loaded continuous hinge like the Pemko Markar FM400 or FS402 carries an 80 lb load and runs the full door height instead.

The Orca Hardware SPR4014 is a 4" x 4" x 1/4" radius corner spring hinge in the 4014 Series, matching the Emtek 95024's 4" x 4" size and 1/4" radius corner style. Both are single-leaf-style mortise spring hinges rated medium duty on the Orca side. The Emtek 95024 is plated steel and sold in pairs with screws included, and it comes in eleven finishes including Flat Black (US19), 619 Satin Nickel, Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), and Medium Bronze (MB), so the choice usually comes down to finish match with the rest of the door hardware.

Do not order the Emtek 95024 for that opening - it is built with 1/4" radius corners and will not seat in a 5/8" radius prep. For 5/8" radius corners in the same 4" x 4" size, the Orca Hardware SPR4058 is a 4" x 4" x 5/8" radius corner spring hinge in the 4058 Series, and the Orca SPR4058Z is the same 5/8" radius corner hinge with a Z hole pattern. In steel construction, the Hager 1252 is a full mortise spring hinge with 5/8" round corners in standard weight. Corner radius has to match the frame and door prep exactly, so measure an existing hinge before ordering.

No. The Emtek 95024 is a standard mortise spring hinge for a door swinging one direction. For a door that needs to swing both ways, the Deltana DASH95 is a double action spring hinge with solid brass cover plates, and the Deltana DASHS is a double action saloon hinge sold each in 4", 5" and 6" heights. Within single action, the Deltana DSH35R4 is a single action spring hinge in 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1/4" radius steel if the opening is prepped for the smaller leaf rather than 4" x 4".

It is not a drop-in swap. The Emtek 95024 is a surface-visible mortise spring hinge in a 4" x 4" leaf with 1/4" radius corners, prepped like a conventional butt hinge. The SOSS 216IC Series is an invisible spring closer hinge with a 20 minute fire rating, heavy duty, and the SOSS 220IC Series is an invisible spring closer hinge with a 20 minute fire rating at 7" with a 2" minimum door thickness. The SOSS 218IC is a 7" heavy duty invisible spring closer with a 1-3/4" minimum door thickness. Invisible hinges route into the edge of the door and frame rather than mortising into the face, so they require entirely different prep and a thicker door.

The Emtek 95024 is a 4" x 4" hinge and will not fit a 3-1/2" mortise. The Deltana DSH35R4 is a single action spring hinge at 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1/4" radius in steel, which carries the same 1/4" radius corner style as the Emtek 95024 in the smaller leaf, and the Deltana DSH35R4-A is the same 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1/4" radius single action steel spring hinge. Measure the existing hinge leaf height and width before ordering, since 3-1/2" and 4" preps are not interchangeable.

The 95024 is sold as a pair with screws included. Typical practice on a self-closing door is a mix of spring hinges and standard hinges on the same leaf, so one pair covers a door hung on two hinges, or pairs with a third standard hinge on a taller door. Order one 95024 per door if two hinges carry the leaf.

The leaves are 0.110 inches thick. That gauge matters when you are replacing an existing hinge in a cut mortise, since a thicker or thinner leaf changes how the door sits against the stop and can throw off the reveal.

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 ordering the same code as your knobsets or leversets keeps the openings consistent across a house or a building.

No handing to specify on the 95024. It is a full mortise single action spring hinge with symmetrical leaves, so the same pair hangs a left hand or right hand door. If you need a door that swings both directions, this is the wrong type; a double action hinge such as the Deltana DASH95 or the DASHS saloon hinge does that instead.

That is not the right application. The Emtek 95024 is a residential butt-style mortise spring hinge sized 4" x 4". Toilet partitions are handled by spring loaded continuous hinges: the Pemko Markar FM400 Series is a full mortise spring loaded continuous hinge with 80 lb load capacity for toilet partitions, the Pemko Markar FM900 Series is a spring loaded continuous hinge with 80 lb capacity for toilet partitions, and the Pemko FS402 Series is a spring loaded continuous hinge for toilet partitions with 80 lb load capacity. Continuous hinges run the full height of the partition door and carry the panel load across the whole edge.

The Emtek 95024 is a UL Listed plated steel spring hinge offered in eleven decorative finishes, including Polished Nickel (US14), Pewter (US15A), French Antique (US7) and 625 Bright Chrome, which is why it suits residential and finish-sensitive work. Where appearance is not driving the selection, the Design Hardware UL Spring Hinge is a medium duty UL spring hinge, and the Hager 1250 is a full mortise spring hinge in standard weight steel construction, also medium duty. Both are plain utility hinges for back-of-house and service openings where the hinge is not part of the decorative package.

Plain bearing. That is standard for a spring hinge on a residential-weight door, but on a high-traffic commercial opening a ball bearing hinge is the usual call. All the medium duty spring hinges from BEST, Hager, McKinney and Orca in this class are also plain bearing or standard weight units.
