Hager HAG-1191 4x4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Hager 1191 hinge on a door with a closer?
No. The 1191 is a plain bearing hinge, and plain bearing hinges aren't the right choice under a closer. Where a closer is fitted, the added load and cycle rate call for a ball bearing hinge instead. Use the 1191 on openings without a closer, and step up to a ball bearing commercial hinge on any door that has one.
2) What size Hager 1191 hinge do I need for a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Hinge height is picked off door thickness and width, and the 1191 runs from 3 x 3 up through 5 x 5: 3 x 3, 3.5 x 3.5, 4 x 3.5, 4 x 4, 4.5 x 4, 4.5 x 4.5, 5 x 4, 5 x 4.5 and 5 x 5. On a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door the usual choice is a 4-1/2 inch height, with the wider 5 inch leaf widths used where trim has to be cleared. The narrower 3 and 3-1/2 inch sizes belong on lighter 1-3/8 inch interior doors.
3) Does the Hager 1191 hinge work on both wood doors and hollow metal frames?
Both. It's a full mortise hinge, so each leaf mortises into the door and the frame, and it ships with two fastener sets to cover either substrate: #12 x 1-1/4 inch wood screws and #12-24 x 1/2 inch machine screws for tapped hollow metal. You don't order the fasteners separately.
4) For a security opening where the hinges are on the outside, is a removable pin hinge like the BEST F173 acceptable?
A removable pin hinge on an out-swinging exterior door leaves the pin reachable from the unsecured side. The BEST F173 is supplied with a removable pin. The Hager 1191 also uses a non-rising removable pin with button tip and plug as standard, but it can be ordered with the NRP non-removable pin option, which pins the barrel so the hinge cannot be knocked apart from outside. On any opening where the barrel is exposed to the exterior, order the NRP version rather than the standard pin.
5) What is the closest plain bearing hinge to the Hager 1191 from another manufacturer?
The BEST F173 is the nearest peer. It is a steel hinge with a removable pin and plain bearing, rated medium duty in the BEST Architectural Hinges series. The Hager 1191 is also a plain bearing hinge, built in brass with a stainless steel pin or stainless steel with a stainless steel pin. Both use a removable pin, so either allows the door to be lifted off without disturbing frame alignment. The practical difference is base material: steel on the F173, brass or stainless on the 1191, which is what most exterior and washdown specs turn on.
6) If a door already has a closer on it, is a plain bearing hinge like the Hager 1191 or the BEST F173 the right choice?
Neither one is the hinge to reach for on a closer-equipped opening. The Hager 1191 is a plain bearing hinge and its own specification states that a ball bearing hinge should be used where a door closer is present, because the closer keeps constant load on the hinge barrel. The BEST F173 is likewise a plain bearing hinge, rated medium duty, so it carries the same limitation. For a closered door, specify a ball bearing hinge in the size and finish the opening calls for.
7) Can the BEST F173 be swapped in where a Hager 1191 hinge is installed?
Check the door and frame prep before treating them as interchangeable. The BEST F173 is a half surface hinge, meaning one leaf mortises into the frame while the other surface-applies to the door face. The Hager 1191 is prepped as a full mortise hinge with both leaves let into the door and frame edge. A door routed for one prep will not accept the other without rework, so the swap is a prep question first and a specification question second. Where the prep does match, both are plain bearing hinges with removable pins.
8) For a hinge that has to meet an ANSI grade on the submittal, does the Hager 1191 or the BEST F173 carry the numbers?
The Hager 1191 carries ANSI A2133 in brass and ANSI A5133 in stainless steel and is manufactured in accordance with ANSI/BHMA A156.1, which is the citation a submittal reviewer looks for on a commercial hinge. It is specified as a commercial product. The BEST F173 is a steel half surface hinge in the Architectural Hinges series at medium duty. When the drawing calls out an A156.1 hinge number, the 1191 answers it directly.
9) Which Hager 1191 material should I specify for a coastal or wash-down environment?
Go stainless. The 1191 is built either as brass with a stainless steel pin or stainless steel with a stainless steel pin, and the all-stainless build is the one for salt air, pool rooms, kitchens and other corrosive or frequently washed areas. The brass build carries ANSI A2133; the stainless build is ANSI A5133. Both use a stainless pin, so the pin itself is never the weak point.
10) Does the Hager 1191 meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial spec?
It does. The 1191 is made in accordance with ANSI/BHMA A156.1 and carries ANSI A2133 in brass and ANSI A5133 in stainless steel. It's classified commercial, not residential, so it's the right item to put against a hardware schedule for an office, school, healthcare or government opening.
11) Can I take the door down without pulling the frame hinge leaf off?
Yes, that's what the pin design is for. The 1191 uses a non-rising removable pin with a button tip and plug, so you knock the pin out, lift the door, and the frame leaf and its screws stay put and stay aligned. Handy on repaint and re-key rounds where doors come off and go back on the same openings. If you order the NRP option that goes away by design, since the pin is fixed.
12) What's the difference between the Hager 1191 and the BEST F173 half surface hinge?
Installation type is the real difference. The Hager 1191 is a full mortise hinge, both leaves let into the door and the frame, in brass or stainless with a stainless pin. The BEST F173 is a steel half surface hinge, which means one leaf surface-applies rather than mortising in, and BEST lists it as medium duty in their Architectural Hinges series. Both use a removable pin and a plain bearing. Pick the 1191 when the door and frame are already mortised for a standard butt; the half surface style is for openings where you can't or don't want to mortise the door leaf.
13) Which plain bearing hinge gives more finish and size choice for matching existing doors in a building?
The Hager 1191 is the broader match on both counts. It is stocked in ten finishes running from 605 bright brass and 606 satin brass through 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, and US10D black nickel oiled, in sizes from 3 x 3 up to 5 x 5 including the common 4 x 4 and 4-1/2 x 4-1/2. The BEST F173 is a steel half surface hinge in the Architectural Hinges series at medium duty. For standardizing a fleet of openings to one appearance, the 1191 finish range is what carries the match across doors.
14) Is a 5 knuckle standard weight hinge enough for a busy commercial door?
For normal commercial traffic without a closer, yes. The 1191 is a five knuckle standard weight hinge, and the five knuckle arrangement spreads the door load across the barrel rather than concentrating it. Where it stops being the right part is high-frequency or heavy-leaf openings, and anything with a closer on it, where a ball bearing hinge is the correct call.
15) How many Hager 1191 hinges do I need per door and where do they go?
Hinge count and spacing follow Hager's standard hinge location chart rather than anything on the hinge itself, and Hager publishes that chart for their commercial line. Order the same size and finish across every leaf on the opening, and if a door needs a fourth hinge added later, the 1191 sizes repeat across all ten finishes so you can match what's already hung.
