Emtek 9822332D Heavy Duty Plain Bearing Hinges (Pair), 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" with 1/4" Radius Corners, Stainless Steel

Yes. The 9822332D plain bearing hinge pair is rated for doors up to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers standard 1-3/8 inch interior doors and 1-3/4 inch entry doors alike. At 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches, it is the size normally hung on 1-3/8 inch interior doors; on a heavier 1-3/4 inch door, most installers step up to a 4 inch hinge for the extra leaf width and screw purchase.

The 9822332D has 1/4 inch radius corners. That matters more than anything else about the fit: a 1/4 inch radius leaf will not sit right in a square-corner mortise without chisel work, and it will leave a visible gap in a 5/8 inch radius pocket. Most machine-routed door and jamb preps in newer residential work are cut with a 1/4 inch radius, while older or job-site prepped doors are often square. Check the corner of the hinge you are pulling out before you order.

The 9822332D is sold as a pair with screws included. A standard interior door hangs on three hinges, so one pair covers two of the three leaves and you will need a second pair (or a third hinge) to finish a single door. Order by the door, not by the box.

A plain bearing hinge has no ball or concealed bearing race between the knuckles; the knuckles ride directly on each other. That is quiet and low profile, and it is what the 9822332D uses. It is specified for residential use, so it suits interior passage doors and normal household traffic. For a heavy solid core, an exterior door on a closer, or an opening in a building that cycles all day, move to a bearing hinge: the Orca Hardware 3535 Series is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner ball bearing commercial hinge, and Don-Jo's HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in the same 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 size.

The nearest match is the Orca Hardware 3.5" x 3.5" x 1/4" Radius Corner Plain Bearing Commercial Hinge in the 3514 Series. It shares the Emtek 9822332D's 3.5" x 3.5" size, 1/4" radius corner style, and plain bearing function, so it drops into the same mortise pocket without recutting the door or jamb. The difference is duty positioning: the Orca 3514 is rated Medium Duty and described as a commercial hinge, while the Emtek 9822332D is a residential stainless steel hinge sold in pairs.

No. The Emtek 9822332D is a non-electronic plain bearing hinge with no conductor path. For power transfer through the hinge, the Command Access ETH-CB70 energy transfer hinge is a 3-knuckle standard weight steel base hinge rated Medium Duty in the ETH 3 Series, and the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a 5-knuckle Heavy Duty steel base hinge in the ETH 5 Series. If the opening also needs door position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-CB70 adds door position sensing on a 3-knuckle steel base.

The Orca Hardware 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Corner Plain Bearing Commercial Hinge, 4014 Series, is the 4 inch version of the same corner profile and bearing type. It keeps the 1/4" radius corner that the Emtek 9822332D uses, so a door already routed for a radius-corner hinge accepts it once the pocket is lengthened to 4 inches. If the opening is routed for square corners instead, the Orca 4040 Series 4" x 4" Square Corner Plain Bearing Commercial Hinge is the same size in a square profile.

Two square-corner options match the 3-1/2 inch size the Emtek 9822332D covers. The Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5" x 3.5" square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in the 1000 Series, sold as a pack of 3 and rated Medium Duty - same bearing type as the Emtek, square profile instead of the 1/4" radius. The Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square residential hinge sold in pairs, matching the Emtek's pair packaging.

The Emtek 9822332D is a residential plain bearing hinge. For a commercial opening carrying heavy use, the Ives 3CB1HW steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge is a Heavy Duty 3-knuckle concealed bearing hinge, and the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge is a Heavy Duty 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" hinge in satin chrome. Both are larger and use bearing designs intended for continuous cycling; confirm the leaf size and corner prep against the frame before ordering, since neither matches the Emtek's 3.5" x 3.5" 1/4" radius footprint.

Use a non-removable pin or security hinge rather than the Emtek 9822332D. The Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square hinge sold in pairs with a non-removable pin, and the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4" x 4" security hinge with a 5/8" radius in steel, also sold in pairs. On the commercial side the Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge. All three run larger than the Emtek 9822332D's 3.5" x 3.5" size, so verify the frame prep.

Stainless steel through the base material, not a plating over brass or steel, and finished in Brushed Stainless Steel. Leaf thickness runs 0.113 to 0.135 inch in 304 grade. That is the reason to pick it over a plated steel residential hinge on a coastal or damp opening, a bathroom, or a door that sees wet mopping.

One finish only: Brushed Stainless Steel (SS). It pairs with Emtek's Stainless Steel collection, so if the levers and knobs on the job are from that same collection the hinges will read as a set. If your existing hardware is satin nickel or satin chrome rather than true brushed stainless, expect a slight difference in tone.

Not the best choice if security is the concern. The 9822332D is a residential plain bearing hinge with a standard pin, so on an outswing exterior door the pin is accessible from outside. For that opening you want a non-removable pin or security hinge: the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square hinge pair with a non-removable pin, and the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 x 4 security hinge with a 5/8 inch radius. The 9822332D is a sound pick for interior passage doors.

No. A full mortise butt hinge like the 9822332D is symmetrical, so the same pair hangs a left hand or a right hand door. You only get into handing on hinges when you move to electrified or wire-transfer types, such as the Stanley CECB1900R54L, which is ordered left-handed with a 4-wire harness.

The Delaney 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Bulk Steel Residential Hinges for interior doors, Interior Residential Hinges series, come in pairs with a 5/8" radius and are sold in bulk for interior work. They match the Emtek 9822332D on size and pair packaging. The differences that matter for fitting are corner radius and material: the Delaney is a 5/8" radius steel hinge, while the Emtek 9822332D is stainless steel with 1/4" radius corners, so the door prep has to match the radius you order.

It is a different bearing design, not a like-for-like swap. The Emtek 9822332D uses a plain bearing, where the knuckles ride directly against each other. A ball bearing hinge such as the Orca Hardware 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Square Corner Ball Bearing Commercial Hinge, 3535 Series, or the Delaney 4" x 4" Commercial Ball Bearing Hinge with square corner, places bearing races between the knuckles for high-cycle openings. Those two are also larger than 3-1/2 inch and square-cornered, so they need a different mortise than the Emtek's 3.5" x 3.5" radius-corner prep.

They are not interchangeable. The Hager 920 is a full mortise 2-knuckle steel hinge with a concealed bearing function, rated Medium Duty. The Emtek 9822332D uses a plain bearing in stainless steel at 3.5" x 3.5" with 1/4" radius corners. A closer plain bearing peer in name and function is the Hager 1129, but that one is a half mortise hinge, meaning one leaf mortises into the door and the other surface-mounts to the frame - a different frame condition than a full mortise pair.

The Emtek 9822332D is a plain bearing hinge with no closing mechanism. For self-closing, the Stanley Security 2060R spring hinge is a full mortise square corner spring hinge at 4.5" x 4.5" on a ferrous steel base, rated Heavy Duty. For a door that needs to swing both directions, the BEST DAP-3 is a Heavy Duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors, which replaces the hinge set entirely and changes the door and frame prep.

No. The Delaney RH45xx is a 4" x 4" bulk residential hinge for exterior doors with a 5/8" radius, sold in pairs, in the Exterior Residential Hinges series. The Emtek 9822332D is 3.5" x 3.5" with 1/4" radius corners. Both the leaf size and the corner radius differ, so the Delaney needs a longer mortise cut to a wider radius. If you are matching an existing 4 inch radius-corner prep with a plain bearing, the Orca Hardware 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Corner Plain Bearing Commercial Hinge in the 4014 Series is the closer fit.

The Deltana DSB3 is a 3" x 3" square hinge sold in pairs, a half inch shorter leaf than the Emtek 9822332D's 3.5" x 3.5" size and matching its pair packaging. Note the corner difference: the DSB3 has square corners while the Emtek 9822332D is cut with 1/4" radius corners, so a narrow stile routed with a radius template needs the corners squared off or a radius-corner hinge selected instead.
