Hager HAG-BB1199 4-1/2x4-1/2 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager BB1199 hinge drop into the hinge prep already cut in my door and frame?
Fastener hole locations on the BB1199 conform to ANSI A156.7, the standard commercial hinge template, so it lands on an existing prep cut to that template as long as you order the same leaf size you are pulling out. Ten sizes are offered: 4.5 x 4, 4.5 x 4.5, 5 x 4, 5 x 4.5, 5 x 5, 6 x 4.5, 6 x 5, 6 x 6, 8 x 6 and 8 x 8 inches. Pull one of the old hinges and measure it before ordering. A 4.5 inch leaf will not fill a 5 inch mortise, and shimming it is not a fix.
2) Is a removable pin hinge like the BB1199 safe to use on an outswing exterior door?
Not as it ships. The BB1199 comes standard with a non-rising removable pin with tip and plug, which is exactly what you want on an interior opening: drive the pin, lift the door off, and the frame leaf never moves. Swing that door outward and the barrel sits on the outside of the building where anyone can drive the same pin. For those openings, order the NRP option, non-removable pin, so the pin cannot be backed out from the pull side.
3) Which hinge do I specify for a fire rated door assembly, the Hager BB1199 or the BEST F173?
Specify the Hager BB1199 in the stainless steel construction. That model complies with NFPA80 requirements for use on fire rated door assemblies, and the hinge is certified to ANSI A2111 in brass and ANSI A5111 in stainless steel. Order it in a stainless finish such as 629 bright stainless steel or 630 satin stainless steel, and check the opening's assembly listing for the required hinge count and any NRP requirement on an outswing rated door, since NRP is offered as an option. The BEST F173 is a steel half surface hinge with a removable pin and plain bearing, carried at medium duty, and is the different mounting style rather than the equivalent for a rated opening.
4) What is the difference between the Hager BB1199 and the BEST F173 hinge?
They mount differently and they run on different bearings. The Hager BB1199 is a full mortise ball bearing hinge in standard weight, built with 5 knuckles, four ball bearings, and a non-rising removable pin with tip and plug, in brass with a stainless steel pin or stainless steel with a stainless steel pin. Full mortise means both leaves sit in routed pockets, one in the door edge and one in the frame rabbet, so nothing stands proud of the surface. The BEST F173 is a steel half surface hinge with a removable pin and a plain bearing, carried at medium duty in the Architectural Hinges series. Half surface mounts one leaf into the frame and screws the other to the face of the door, which is how you hang a door whose face cannot be routed. So the choice is driven first by what prep the opening will take, and second by whether the door needs a ball bearing knuckle or a plain bearing one.
5) The door face cannot be mortised for hinges. What do I use instead of a Hager BB1199?
Go to a half surface hinge such as the BEST F173, a steel half surface hinge with a removable pin and plain bearing, carried at medium duty. Half surface prep mortises the frame leaf only and surface applies the other leaf to the door face, so it suits doors that cannot take a routed pocket in the edge or face, including field conditions where an existing door is being rehung on a hollow metal frame. The Hager BB1199 is a full mortise hinge, which requires routed pockets in both the door and the frame rabbet, with fastener hole locations conforming to ANSI A156.7. Confirm the door and frame prep before you order, because the two are not interchangeable in the same cutout.
6) How do I get power through the door for an electrified lock using Hager BB1199 hinges?
Four electric modifications are available on the BB1199. ETW is electric through-wire only, the one that feeds an electrified lockset or exit device. EMN is electric monitor only, which reports door position back to the panel without carrying operating power to the lock. ETM combines through-wire and monitoring in the same hinge. Quick Connect is the fourth configuration. These are modifications made to the hinge itself, so call the option out along with size and finish when you place the order rather than treating it as an accessory you add later.
7) Do I need a ball bearing hinge or will a plain bearing hinge hold up on a commercial corridor door?
Cycle count decides it. The BB1199 carries four ball bearings in a five knuckle barrel, so door weight rides on rolling elements instead of sliding metal, and it is built for commercial rather than residential use: corridor doors, classroom doors, retail entries, anything hanging on a closer. A plain bearing hinge such as the BEST F173, a medium duty steel architectural hinge, has no bearings between the knuckles and suits lower frequency openings. If there is a closer on the door, the ball bearing hinge is the one that keeps swinging smoothly.
8) Brass or stainless steel BB1199 hinge for an exterior opening near the coast?
Stainless. The BB1199 is built either as brass with a stainless steel pin or as all stainless steel with a stainless steel pin, and the all stainless build is what belongs in salt air, pool enclosures, commercial kitchens, and washdown areas. The two builds carry different certifications: ANSI A2111 for the brass, ANSI A5111 for the stainless. Both use a stainless pin, so the pin is not the corrosion risk either way. The difference is the leaves.
9) Is the Hager BB1199 heavy enough for a solid core commercial door?
Standard weight is what the BB1199 is: five knuckles, four ball bearings, brass or stainless steel construction, rated commercial rather than residential. That covers the normal run of solid core wood and hollow metal doors in an office, a school corridor, or an apartment building. Where you step up is oversized doors, lead lined or heavily glazed doors, and openings taking abuse all day. Those call for a heavy weight ball bearing hinge instead, and no amount of extra fasteners turns a standard weight hinge into one.
10) What is the difference between a full mortise hinge like the BB1199 and a half surface hinge?
Where the leaves land. The BB1199 is a full mortise hinge, so both leaves get routed in, one into the door edge and one into the frame rabbet, and only the barrel shows when the door is closed. A half surface hinge such as the BEST F173 mortises into the frame and screws flat onto the face of the door, which is how you hang a door that cannot be routed on its edge. If your door and frame are both already prepped for mortised leaves, the BB1199 is the direct type; if the door face is your only mounting surface, it is not.
11) Can I put a plain bearing hinge like the BEST F173 on a high traffic door in place of a ball bearing Hager BB1199?
Match the bearing to the cycle count. The Hager BB1199 is a commercial ball bearing hinge with four ball bearings between the knuckles, which is the construction used on doors that swing constantly - corridor, stair, entry and tenant doors in offices, schools, healthcare and multi tenant residential buildings. The BEST F173 uses a plain bearing and is carried at medium duty in the Architectural Hinges series, so it is sized to a lighter frequency of use. The two also differ in prep, since the F173 is a half surface hinge and the BB1199 is full mortise, so a swap changes both the bearing and the cutout. On a door you expect to cycle heavily, stay with the ball bearing BB1199 and pick the leaf size that matches the door weight and thickness.
12) I need power or monitoring through the hinge for an access control opening. Is the BEST F173 an option, or do I need the Hager BB1199?
Use the Hager BB1199. It is offered with concealed electric modifications - EMN for monitoring only, ETW for through wire only, ETM for through wire with monitoring, and a Quick Connect version - so the wiring runs through the hinge to an electrified lock, exit device or door position input without a separate power transfer. Choose the leaf size first, then add the electric modification and the finish, and route conductor counts against the lock and monitoring devices on the door. The BEST F173 is a steel half surface hinge with a removable pin and plain bearing at medium duty, which is the mechanical hanging option rather than the electrified one.
13) There are Hager BB1199 hinges on the doors now. Will a BEST F173 drop into the same prep?
No. The existing prep is a full mortise pocket routed into the door edge and the frame rabbet, which is what the BB1199 seats into, with fastener hole locations conforming to ANSI A156.7. The BEST F173 is a half surface hinge, so its door leaf lands on the face of the door rather than in that pocket, and the screw pattern will not land on the existing holes. To keep the fleet consistent on doors already hung on the BB1199, reorder the same hinge in the leaf size that is on the door - sizes run from 4.5 inch by 4 inch up to 8 inch by 8 inch - and match the finish, such as 626 satin chrome or 630 satin stainless steel, to what is on the other openings.
14) What finishes does the Hager BB1199 come in, and which one matches typical commercial lever hardware?
Nine finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel. Matching the satin chrome levers, closers, and push plates that dominate commercial specs means 626. Buildings standardized on stainless trim take 630. If the trim across your property is already oil-rubbed bronze, 613 is the one that keeps the openings consistent.
