Hager 17163123 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 1716 acorn tip kit fit my existing hinges, or do I have to replace the whole hinge?
No hinge replacement needed. The 1716 acorn decorator tip kit supplies the tips and the pin, so an architectural grade full mortise hinge already hanging in the door gets converted in place. It covers hinge sizes 3-1/2 inch (89 mm), 4 inch (102 mm), 4-1/2 inch (114 mm), 5 inch (127 mm) and 6 inch (152 mm). Pull the existing pin, fit the new pin and tips, rehang. It is meant for architectural grade hinges, so a light residential hinge with a fixed or non-standard pin is not the target.
2) What finishes does the Hager 1716 acorn tip kit come in, and will it match my existing hinges?
Two finishes are stocked: 605 bright brass and 619 satin nickel. Those correspond to the US3 and US15 finishes called out on the kit. If the hinges in the door are polished brass, take 605; if they are satin nickel or brushed chrome-look, take 619. Because only the tips and pin show once installed, the finish match is judged against the visible barrel of the hinge you already have, not the leaf.
3) What is the difference between adding acorn tips to an existing hinge and buying a decorative hinge outright?
The Hager 1716 is a tip and pin kit: it dresses an architectural grade full mortise hinge already hung in the opening, in brass with a stainless steel pin, in US3 or US15, for hinge sizes from 3-1/2 inch through 6 inch. A decorative hinge instead replaces the whole leaf set, such as the McKinney SQ3331, a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch at a standard duty rating. Use the tip kit when the existing hinges stay in the door and only the barrel ends change appearance; use the SQ3331 when the barrel profile itself is the look you are after.
4) The hinges are worn out, not just plain looking. What should I order instead of a tip kit?
A tip and pin kit changes the barrel ends of a hinge that is otherwise sound. When the knuckles or bearings are worn, replace the hinge. The Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch with a satin chrome finish, and the Ives 3CB1HW is a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles. Both are heavy duty and carry the door themselves rather than dressing an existing one.
5) Can a decorator tip kit be used on an electrified or power transfer hinge?
The Hager 1716 supplies decorative tips and pins for architectural grade full mortise hinges and does nothing electrically. When the opening needs power carried through the hinge, the hinge itself is the part to specify: the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect at a medium duty rating, and the Command Access ETH-BB68 is a heavy duty 5-knuckle steel base energy transfer hinge. If the door also needs position monitoring, the Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch.
6) We need pins that cannot be pulled from the outside. Is a tip and pin kit the right choice?
The 1716 kit is a decorative pin and tip change for architectural grade hinges. For an opening where the pin must resist removal, specify a hinge built that way instead: the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge pair with a non-removable pin, and the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch security hinge pair in steel with a 5/8 inch radius corner. For detention level openings, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge.
7) Does the Hager 1716 acorn tip kit work on non-removable pin (NRP) hinges?
No. The conversion depends on removing the existing pin and fitting the supplied stainless steel pin and acorn tips. A hinge built as non-removable pin, such as the Deltana CSB45N 4-1/2 inch square hinge NRP, is set up specifically to defeat that. On out-swinging exterior or security openings where NRP was specified, leave the hinge alone and get the decorative look elsewhere in the opening.
8) Is the Hager 1716 acorn tip kit durable enough for a commercial building, or is it a residential trim part?
It is a commercial part. Construction is brass with a stainless steel pin, and the kit is classed for commercial use with architectural grade hinges. The stainless pin is the load-carrying piece, so the decorative acorn tips do not compromise how the hinge swings. That makes it usable in office, healthcare, education, retail and multi-tenant corridors where the hinge itself has to stay architectural grade.
9) Can I put acorn tips on an electrified or concealed-conductor hinge?
Don't. The 1716 kit works by swapping the hinge pin, and an electrified hinge such as the BEST CECB179-12C with 12-wire quick connect or the Stanley CECB1900R54L 4-wire concealed conductor hinge runs the wire through the barrel. Pulling that pin puts the wiring at risk and the tip may not seat. Keep the tip conversion on standard mechanical architectural hinges and leave electrified openings as furnished.
10) How many Hager 1716 acorn tip kits do I need per door?
Count the hinges, not the doors. Each kit converts one hinge, so a standard commercial opening hung on three hinges takes three kits, all the same size and finish. Tall or heavy leaves carrying four hinges take four. Order them together so the finish lot matches across the opening.
11) I'm standardizing hinges across a building and want a decorative look. Can the Hager 1716 kit cover mixed hinge sizes?
It can, but you order by size. The acorn tip conversion is available for architectural grade hinges from 3-1/2 inch (89 mm) up through 6 inch (152 mm), which covers most of what is hanging in a commercial building, and the finish choice, 605 bright brass or 619 satin nickel, stays consistent across all of them. Survey the openings, tally how many hinges fall at each size, and order per size in one finish. That gives a uniform barrel appearance building-wide without pulling a single hinge out of its mortise.
12) Is there a simpler option for dressing up interior residential doors instead of a commercial tip kit?
The Hager 1716 is a commercial product built for architectural grade full mortise hinges. On interior residential doors, buyers usually change the hinge itself: the Delaney DLY-RH35xx is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch bulk steel residential interior hinge pair with a 5/8 inch radius, the Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner plated steel, and the Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch residential square hinge pair.
13) The door needs to self-close. Does changing the hinge pins accomplish that?
Changing tips and pins with the 1716 kit alters appearance on an architectural grade hinge and leaves the door swinging as it did. A self-closing opening needs a spring hinge, such as the Stanley Security 2060R, a heavy duty full mortise spring hinge with square corners in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch on a ferrous steel base. For a door that must swing both ways, the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors.
14) What commercial hinges can be dressed with acorn tips versus ones where a plain hinge is the better buy?
The 1716 kit fits architectural grade full mortise hinges in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, 4-1/2 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch sizes, so a hinge like the Don-Jo HWBB74545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch falls in that size range. On back of house and utility openings where appearance is not part of the spec, a plain commercial hinge such as the Orca Hardware 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing hinge or the Orca 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing hinge, both medium duty, covers the opening without a tip change.
15) Will brass acorn tips corrode in an exterior or high-humidity opening?
The material holds up: brass body with a stainless steel pin. That combination is what makes it usable on exterior-facing and washdown-adjacent commercial openings rather than dry interior only. The plated finish, 605 or 619, is the part that shows wear first in heavy weather, so it is worth matching the finish choice to how exposed the opening is.
