Hager 1728 3.5 US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hinge sizes does the Hager 1728 urn tip kit fit?
Five sizes are covered: 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). Order the kit that matches the hinge height you are converting, since the tip and pin are sized to that hinge. Measure the existing hinge leaf height with the door closed if you are not sure which you have.
2) Will the 1728 urn tip kit work on a heavy weight hinge?
It is a standard weight kit, so it is intended for standard weight architectural hinges. On a heavy weight or double weight hinge the pin diameter and knuckle size differ, so match the kit to a standard weight hinge. For a heavy weight opening you are better served replacing the hinge outright, for example the Don-Jo HWBB84545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches.
3) Can I put urn tips on my existing commercial hinges instead of replacing them?
That is exactly what the 1728 kit is for. If the hinges on the door are architectural grade standard weight and the size matches one of 3-1/2, 4, 4-1/2, 5 or 6 inch, you can dress them with urn tips and a new stainless pin rather than pulling and re-prepping the door. Check the hinge you have against the kit size first, and follow the parent hinge instructions when you drive the new pin.
4) What replaces a Hager 1728 urn tip kit if the door needs a new hinge rather than a decorative tip change?
The Hager 1728 is a conversion kit of tips and pins for brass with stainless steel pin construction, sized for 3-1/2 inch through 6 inch architectural hinges - it changes the appearance of a hinge already hung in the opening. If the hinge itself is being replaced, a complete standard weight full mortise unit is the item to order: the McKinney MP79 MacPro is a 5-knuckle standard weight full mortise hinge, and the Stanley FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch.
5) Can urn tips be added to a heavy weight or heavy duty commercial hinge?
The Hager 1728 kit is a standard weight design for standard weight door applications. Openings running heavy duty hinges - the Don-Jo HWBB84545 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch, or the Ives 3CB1HW steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge - are a different weight class, so match the tip kit to a standard weight hinge and treat those heavy weight units as their own decision.
6) Which hinges should not be converted to urn tips for security reasons?
The Hager 1728 replaces the pin along with the tips, so it is not the right treatment where the pin is deliberately fixed or the opening is secured through the hinge. The Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge pair with a non-removable pin, the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch 5/8 inch radius security steel hinge pair, and the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge. Leave the pin arrangement on those as furnished.
7) What finishes does the Hager 1728 urn tip conversion kit come in?
Two: US10D black nickel oiled and 619 satin nickel. Both are offered across all five hinge sizes, 3-1/2 through 6 inch, so you can match a run of doors in one finish regardless of the hinge heights on them. Pick the one that matches the existing lever and hinge plating, since the tip sits in plain view at the top and bottom of the knuckle.
8) I want decorative hinges on a commercial door, should I convert or buy a decorative hinge?
Converting with the 1728 keeps the hinge, the prep and the door as they are, and only changes the visible tip, which is the quicker route when the existing architectural hinges are sound. Buying new makes sense if the hinges are worn or the wrong weight. For a decorative hinge bought outright, the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches.
9) Will urn tips match across doors that have different size hinges?
Yes, and that is the usual case in a building where 4-1/2 inch hinges hang the corridor doors and 3-1/2 inch hang lighter interior doors. The 1728 covers 3-1/2, 4, 4-1/2, 5 and 6 inch hinge sizes, and both finishes, US10D black nickel oiled and 619 satin nickel, run through the whole size range, so one finish choice standardizes the look across the fleet. Order per opening by hinge size.
10) Will an urn tip kit work on a hinge that carries wiring through the door?
The Hager 1728 is a tip and pin conversion for standard weight architectural hinges in 3-1/2 inch through 6 inch sizes. Electrified hinges route conductors through the barrel and are ordered as complete assemblies - the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with 12-wire quick connect, the Stanley CECB1900R54L is a three knuckle concealed bearing concealed conductor architectural hinge, steel full mortise, standard weight, 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, square corner, left-handed, 4-wire, and the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3 knuckle standard weight steel base energy transfer hinge. Plan the barrel treatment on those around the wiring, not around a tip kit.
11) Is a decorative barrel hinge the same thing as an urn tip conversion kit?
No. The Hager 1728 supplies tips and pins that convert an existing architectural grade hinge to an urn tip configuration in sizes from 3-1/2 inch to 6 inch. The McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, standard duty - a complete hinge with its own decorative barrel profile, ordered as the hinge itself rather than added to one already in the door.
12) What is the simpler option for a residential door where an urn tip is not needed?
The Hager 1728 is a commercial conversion kit in brass with a stainless steel pin for architectural grade hinges. For a plain residential opening, a complete residential hinge is the straightforward buy: the Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge pair, 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners in plated steel, the Schlage Residential S3P1010 is a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in a pack of 3, and the Deltana DSB35 is a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square residential hinge pair.
13) For a new commercial opening, should the hinge be bought with the urn tip look or converted after installation?
Both routes exist. The Hager 1728 converts a standard weight architectural hinge already in the opening, in sizes 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, 4-1/2 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch, and comes in US10D black nickel oiled and 619 satin nickel. Specifying a complete commercial hinge up front instead means units such as the Orca Hardware 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge, the Delaney CH401X 4 inch by 4 inch commercial ball bearing square corner hinge, or the Ives 3CB1 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge in medium duty.
14) Is the Hager 1728 urn tip kit brass or steel?
Brass tips with a stainless steel pin. The stainless pin is the part that takes the wear and resists corrosion in the knuckle, and it is worth knowing if the door is on an exterior or high-humidity opening. It is a commercial rated part rather than a residential one.
15) Does an urn tip kit work on residential hinges?
The 1728 is built for commercial architectural grade hinges, not residential ones. Common residential hinges such as the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge or the Deltana DSB35 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch square hinge are a different construction, so plan on replacing rather than converting them if you want a decorative barrel on a house door.
16) Is there an urn tip option for a door hung on pivots instead of hinges?
No. The Hager 1728 converts full mortise architectural hinges in 3-1/2 inch to 6 inch sizes by changing tips and pin, which requires a barrel to work with. A door on the BEST DAP-3 heavy duty double acting pivot has no hinge barrel to dress, and the BEST CB1969R is a concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge - both are pivot-side decisions rather than tip conversions.
