Emtek Decorative Hinge Tips for Solid Brass Hinges - Steeple Tip Set (4 Tips Per Set)

Yes. The Emtek steeple tip set covers 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 and 5 x 5 heavy duty plain or ball bearing hinges, as well as 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 and 4 x 4 hinges in either heavy duty plain/ball bearing or residential duty. You pick the hinge size and duty when you order, so match the tip option to the hinges actually hanging on the door.

Four tips per set. A standard butt hinge takes a tip at each end of the pin, so one set dresses two hinges. A door hung on three hinges needs two sets, and you will have two spare tips.

Both. The steeple tips are offered for residential duty hinges in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 and 4 x 4, and for heavy duty plain or ball bearing hinges in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2, 4 x 4, 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 and 5 x 5. The tip has to be ordered against the right duty because the pin ends differ between the two hinge builds.

Ten finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Order by the US code rather than the name and the tips will match Emtek knobs, levers and hinges carrying the same code across the building.

That is exactly what the steeple tips are for. They are replacement parts that swap onto the ends of the hinge pin, so you change the decorative tip and leave the hinge leaves, the mortise and the door alone. No door removal, no re-prep, no re-hanging.

Yes, two different orders. The tip option is tied to hinge size, so 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 hinges take one set and 4 x 4 hinges take another. Order the same finish code on both and they will read as one package across the house even though the tips themselves are different parts.

Brass, both the base material and the substrate, part of Emtek's brass collection. That matters if you are mixing them with solid brass hinges, since a brass tip will age and patina alongside the hinge rather than against it. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is the option to pick if you want that patina to develop; Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) is the one to pick if you do not.

Emtek lists the steeple tips as residential. For a unit interior or a lobby door in a residential building they are appropriate; for a commercial corridor or a fire rated opening, decorative tips are not the part to specify. Note also that the hinge sizes covered top out at 5 x 5 heavy duty plain or ball bearing.

Up to 1-3/4 inches, which covers standard 1-3/8 inch interior doors and 1-3/4 inch entry doors. The tip itself sits on the pin outside the door edge, so the real constraint is the hinge size and duty rather than the slab.

The steeple tip is a pointed, tapered cap. Emtek files it as contemporary in style under an American Classic theme, so it suits transitional and updated traditional interiors better than heavy period work. If you want a rounder or flat profile, that is a different tip shape, not a different finish of this one.
