Hager 1717 5 US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes in the Hager 1717 acorn tip hinge kit?
The Hager 1717 kit covers one hinge: two brass acorn tips and one stainless steel pin. If you are dressing up a row of three hinges on an opening, that is three kits, not one.
2) Will the Hager 1717 tips fit a standard weight or residential hinge?
The 1717 kit is built for heavy weight architectural grade hinges at 5 inch width, so it is not the match for standard weight or residential barrels. Standard and residential hinges in that range include the McKinney MP79 MacPro 5-knuckle standard weight full mortise hinge, the Stanley Security FBB191 5-knuckle standard weight full mortise hinge in 4.5 by 4.5, and the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinges in 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 with square corners.
3) Can the Hager 1717 acorn tip kit be used instead of buying a whole new hinge?
No. The Hager 1717 is a trim kit of 2 brass acorn tips and 1 stainless steel pin for one heavy weight hinge, so it changes the look of a hinge you already have rather than replacing it. If the hinge itself needs replacing, a complete heavy weight commercial hinge is the right buy instead - for example the Ives 3CB1HW steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge, or the BEST CB1969R concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge.
4) What finishes are available for the Hager 1717 acorn tips?
Two: 605 bright brass and 619 satin nickel, both in the 5 inch size. Pick the one that matches the hinge leaves already in the frame, since the tips sit right at the top and bottom of the barrel where any mismatch shows.
5) Can I use acorn tips on an electrified hinge?
Not a decision to make from the tip kit alone. Electrified hinges route conductors through the barrel, so the pin and tip arrangement is set by the hinge itself. Hager publishes concealed electric hinge modification and electric hinge installation documents for that side of the job, and if the opening needs power transfer you would be looking at a purpose-built unit like the Command Access ETH-BB68 heavy duty energy transfer hinge rather than dressing an existing barrel.
6) Does swapping in the 1717 acorn pin affect a non-removable pin security hinge?
Yes, and think it through first. The 1717 supplies a standard removable pin with decorative tips. On an opening where the hinge was specified NRP for security, swapping to this pin gives up that feature. If the door is out-swinging and exposed, keep the security pin, or look at hinges built for it such as the Deltana CSB45N non-removable pin hinge.
7) How do I know how many 1717 kits to order per door?
One kit per hinge. Count the hinges on the leaf, not the doors. Hager publishes a standard hinge locations document that shows how many hinges a given door height takes, which is the fastest way to confirm whether an opening has two, three or four before you place the order.
8) We want a decorative hinge look but the doors need new hinges anyway - what should we buy?
Where the hinge is being replaced outright, a decorative hinge carries its own styling and does not need a separate tip kit. The McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, standard duty. The Hager 1717 kit, by contrast, supplies brass acorn tips and a stainless steel pin to dress an existing heavy weight hinge, and is sized for 5 inch hinges.
9) Can I dress up a hinge on an access control opening with the Hager 1717 acorn tips?
Electrified and monitoring hinges route wire through the barrel and pin area, so their pins and tips are part of the assembly rather than a trim item. For those openings, specify the hinge itself: the Command Access ETH-BB68 energy transfer hinge is a 5-knuckle heavy duty steel base unit, the Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. The Hager 1717 kit of brass acorn tips and a stainless steel pin suits non-electrified heavy weight hinges.
10) For a high-security or detention door, is a decorative tip kit appropriate?
Openings that need security features call out the hinge, not the tip. The BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, the Stanley Security BB855 double weight prison hinge comes 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, and the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square hinge pair with a non-removable pin. The Hager 1717 uses a removable stainless steel pin with brass acorn tips, which is a decorative upgrade for commercial heavy weight hinges.
11) Why a brass tip with a stainless steel pin instead of matching materials?
The two materials do different jobs. The acorn tips are brass because they are the visible decorative caps and take the finish; the pin is stainless steel because it carries the load and pivots every cycle. The substrate is listed as brass with a stainless steel pin for that reason.
12) Is the 1717 acorn tip kit suitable for a high traffic commercial opening?
Yes. Hager lists the 1717 as commercial, under commercial hinges, and the heavy weight rating is aimed at high traffic doors, office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail and government work where the hinge has to look finished as well as hold up.
13) What is a lower-cost commercial hinge option if we do not need the acorn tip look?
Plain commercial hinges skip decorative tips entirely. Orca Hardware offers medium duty commercial hinges in several corner and bearing combinations, including the 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square corner ball bearing 3535 Series and the 4 by 4 square corner plain bearing 4040 Series, and Delaney lists a 4 by 4 commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners. The Hager 1717 exists to add brass acorn tips and a stainless steel pin to a heavy weight hinge where appearance matters.
14) Is a spring hinge or pivot a substitute for a heavy weight hinge with acorn tips?
They solve different problems. The Stanley Security 2060R full mortise spring hinge in 4.5 by 4.5 square corner is heavy duty and provides self-closing action, and the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors that swings both ways. Neither accepts a decorative tip kit the way a conventional five-knuckle barrel does; the Hager 1717 tips and stainless steel pin are for heavy weight architectural hinges.
