Hager 1255-4.5X4.5-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many Hager 1255 spring hinges do I need on a 100 lb commercial door?
Hager's count rules go by door size and weight. Doors over 3'0" x 7'0" or over 100 lbs need three spring hinges. Doors in the 150 to 180 lb range need four. A standard 3'0" x 7'0" door under 100 lbs runs on two. Full spring tension doesn't have to be set on every hinge in the set, so you can tune the stack to get a clean close without slamming.
2) Can I mix Hager 1255 spring hinges with regular hinges on the same door?
Yes, and Hager calls it out directly: use all spring hinges, or a combination of spring hinges with ball bearing or anti-friction hinges. What you cannot do is pair them with plain bearing hinges. The plain bearing will drag against the spring and you lose the close.
3) Will spring hinges close an 8 foot tall door, or do I need a door closer?
The 1255 is UL approved for doors up to 4'0" x 8'0", but Hager does not recommend spring hinges above 7'0" and points you to a hydraulic door closer instead. If your opening is a 7'0" door or shorter, spring hinges are the right call. Taller than that, spec a closer.
4) My door has weatherstripping and drags on carpet. Will spring hinges still latch it?
Maybe not on the minimum count. Hager flags strong wind, drafts, carpet drag, twisted or misaligned frames, and weatherstripping as conditions that may require additional spring hinges beyond the standard count. The fix is adding a hinge rather than cranking every existing one to full tension, which hammers the latch and the frame.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Hager 1255 spring hinge from another manufacturer?
The McKinney 1502 is the nearest match. It is a square corner full mortise standard weight spring hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, which is the same corner style, mortise type, weight class and size the Hager 1255 is offered in, and both are medium duty. If you are standardizing a building on 4-1/2 inch square corner spring hinges and need a second source, the 1502 is the one to quote against.
6) Can I use a Pemko Markar continuous spring hinge in place of the Hager 1255?
They solve different openings. The Hager 1255 is a full mortise butt hinge installed in leaf pockets on a full-size commercial door, with three hinges required on doors over 3 feet by 7 feet or over 100 pounds. The Pemko Markar FM400 and FM900 series are spring loaded continuous hinges rated for an 80 pound load and built for toilet partitions, as are the Pemko FS402 and FS902 series - the FS902 in 304 stainless steel. If you are hinging a restroom partition door, the Pemko continuous units are the right family; for a standard commercial door leaf, they are not a substitute.
7) My door frame has radius corner hinge pockets, not square. What spring hinge should I use instead of the Hager 1255?
The Hager 1255 is a square corner hinge, so it will not drop into a radius corner prep without rework. For radius pockets, Orca Hardware offers the SPR4014 at 4 inch by 4 inch with a 1/4 inch radius corner and the SPR4058 at 4 inch by 4 inch with a 5/8 inch radius corner - match whichever radius your existing prep was cut to. Deltana also lists the DSH35R4 single action spring hinge at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with a 1/4 inch radius for smaller preps. BEST covers this as well with the RD2060R, a radius corner standard weight spring hinge.
8) I need a self-closing hinge that is hidden when the door is closed. Does the Hager 1255 do that?
No. The Hager 1255 is a full mortise butt hinge, so the barrel is visible on the hinge edge and the finish is chosen to show - it comes in 626 satin chrome, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, and 600 primed for painting. For a concealed self-closer, SOSS makes invisible spring closer hinges: the 216IC series with a 20 minute fire rating, the 218IC at 7 inches requiring a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, and the 220IC at 7 inches with a 20 minute fire rating requiring a 2 inch minimum door thickness. All three are heavy duty, and you must confirm your door thickness before specifying.
9) What size and finishes does the Hager 1255 spring hinge come in?
The 1255 is a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square corner full mortise hinge. Finishes are 600 primed for painting, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, and 626 satin chrome. The 600 primed option is the one to order when the hinge has to disappear into a painted door and frame.
10) Is the Hager 1255 rated for commercial traffic, and what's the ANSI number?
Rated commercial, medium duty, carrying ANSI K81071F. Construction is steel with steel components on a 3-knuckle barrel. That's the class of hinge that goes on office, school, retail, and multi-tenant residential openings where the door has to self-close but doesn't warrant a surface closer.
11) I want a self-closing door with no visible hardware. Is a mortise spring hinge the right choice?
The 1255 is visible on the edge of the door like any full mortise butt hinge. If the design calls for nothing showing when the door is closed, look at an invisible spring closer hinge instead, such as the SOSS 216IC or 220IC, both of which carry a 20 minute fire rating. Note the SOSS units are heavy duty and have minimum door thickness requirements, 2" on the 220IC, so they're not a swap on a thin door.
12) I need a spring hinge with a removable pin so the door can be taken down for service. Is the Hager 1255 the right choice?
The Hager 1255 is described as a 3-knuckle full mortise spring hinge and is not called out as removable pin. If pin removal matters, BEST lists the 2060R spring hinge with a removable pin in square corners standard weight, and the RD2060R with a removable pin in radius corner standard weight. Both are plain bearing. Note that Hager advises against pairing spring hinges with plain bearing hinges on the same door, so if you are mixing, keep that in mind when you build the set.
13) The Hager 1255 is a 4-1/2 inch hinge. What is the option for a lighter 3-1/2 inch door prep?
For 3-1/2 inch preps, Emtek offers the 95013 spring hinge pair at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners in plated steel, UL listed, which keeps the same square corner geometry as the Hager 1255. Deltana's DSH35R4 and DSH35R4-A are also 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch single action steel spring hinges, but with a 1/4 inch radius corner rather than square. Pick by the corner your existing mortise is cut to.
14) Will the Hager 1255 work on a cafe or saloon door that swings both ways?
No. The Hager 1255 is a single action full mortise spring hinge for a commercial door swinging one direction. For a double-swing opening, Deltana lists the DASHS double action saloon hinge, sold each, in 4 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch heights, and the DASH95 double action spring hinge with solid brass cover plates. Those are the correct family for a two-way swinging leaf.
15) My frame was drilled with a Z hole pattern. Does the Hager 1255 match?
The Hager 1255 uses the standard full mortise hole layout for its square corner leaves. If your existing prep is a Z hole pattern, Orca Hardware makes the SPR4058Z, a 4 inch by 4 inch 5/8 inch radius corner spring hinge specifically in the Z hole pattern, and it is medium duty like the Hager 1255. Verify the hole layout against the door before ordering either one.
16) Do Hager 1255 spring hinges need to be handed when I order?
Handing isn't an ordering option on the 1255. Spring tension on this style is set during install, and the installation sequence calls for verifying door thickness, weight, and handing before selecting and mounting the hinges, then adjusting tension once they're hung. What you do specify at order is finish and any HT or RBB/RBS option.
17) Is there another UL spring hinge option if the Hager 1255 finish range does not suit?
Design Hardware offers a UL spring hinge in medium duty, the same duty class as the Hager 1255, as a straightforward alternative. The Emtek 95013 is also UL listed, supplied as a pair in plated steel with square corners at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch. The Hager 1255 is ANSI K81071F certified and comes in seven finishes including 600 primed for painting if you need to match a custom color on site.
