Hager HAG-BB1362-4-1/2"-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a swing clear hinge like the Hager BB1362 actually do for door clear width?
A swing clear hinge pulls the door leaf out of the opening when it swings. On the BB1362, opening the door to 90 degrees puts the door 11/64 inch (4 mm) past the stop of the jamb, so the door face is no longer eating into the clear width. That is why these get specified in hospitals and other institutional buildings where gurneys, carts and wheelchairs need the full opening. A standard full mortise butt hinge leaves the door sitting in the opening at 90 degrees and costs you roughly the thickness of the door in clear width.
2) Is the Hager BB1362 handed, or can I stock one hinge for both left and right doors?
One hinge covers both. It ships assembled right hand and is field reversible to left hand, so a single part number works across the building. The pin is non-rising and removable with a button tip and plug, so you can pull the door without unscrewing leaves.
3) Is the Hager BB1362 heavy enough for a high traffic institutional door?
It is a heavy weight, five knuckle, four ball bearing hinge built to ANSI/BHMA A156.1 and carrying the ANSI A5121 designation. Stainless steel leaves with a stainless pin handle corrosion in wet clean-down areas like hospital corridors and food service. For lighter interior doors a standard weight hinge is enough; for heavy doors on high frequency openings this is the class you want.
4) What is the closest swing clear hinge to the Hager BB1362 from another manufacturer?
The BEST CB248 is the nearest swing clear equivalent. Both are full mortise swing clear hinges intended for square edge doors. The differences are in material and duty: the Hager BB1362 is stainless steel with a stainless steel pin, ball bearing, heavy weight, five knuckle, made to ANSI A5121; the CB248 is steel with concealed bearings and is rated medium duty. For a hospital corridor or a wet or high-corrosion area, the stainless BB1362 is the one that matches; for a lighter interior square edge door, the steel CB248 covers the same swing clear geometry.
5) I need a hinge for a beveled edge door - will the Hager BB1362 work?
No. The BB1362 is specified for square edge doors. For a beveled edge door, the BEST CB223 is the one to look at: it is a stainless steel concealed bearing heavy weight pivot reinforced hinge built for beveled edge doors. Confirm the edge prep on the door before ordering either, since the leaf geometry is not interchangeable between square and beveled edge applications.
6) What sizes and finish does the Hager BB1362 come in?
Two sizes, 4-1/2 inch and 5 inch, both in 630 satin stainless steel (US32D). The 5 inch is a 5 x 5 hinge. Pick the size to match the existing hinge prep on the frame, since swapping hinge size means new mortises.
7) What screws come with the Hager BB1362 and do I need anything else to hang the door?
The hinge is specified with 12-24 x 1/2 inch flat head machine screws for the hollow metal frame side and 12 x 1-1/4 inch flat head wood screws for a wood door. Both leaves mortise flush into door and frame, so the openings need full mortise prep in the correct locations before you hang anything. Hager publishes its standard hinge location chart, which is what you template from on a new prep.
8) For standardizing a hospital across many doors, which of these hinges hold up best in a heavy traffic corridor?
Among heavy weight options, the Hager BB1362 is stainless steel with a stainless steel pin, four ball bearings and a five knuckle barrel, built to ANSI A5121, and adds swing clear projection of 11/64 inch for gurney and wheelchair clearance. If some openings in the same facility do not need swing clear, the Dormakaba CB199 full mortise concealed bearing heavy weight hinge and the McKinney TCA3386 heavy weight square corner 5 knuckle full mortise hinge cover the conventional positions at the same duty level, letting you standardize on heavy weight throughout while using swing clear only where clear width matters.
9) Is there a version of a full mortise hinge that carries wiring for an electrified lock, since the BB1362 does not?
For an electrified opening you need a through-wire hinge rather than a mechanical one. The ACSI 5BB1 is an Ives-pattern 5 knuckle ball bearing full mortise hinge, 4-1/2 by 4-1/2, with a concealed electric through-wire in a 4 wire, 28 gauge configuration. It is a conventional full mortise hinge, not a swing clear hinge, so it will not give the door the 11/64 inch clearance past the jamb stop that the Hager BB1362 provides. On an opening that needs both, the electrified hinge is typically used at one position with mechanical hinges elsewhere.
10) What is the difference between the Hager BB1362 and a concealed bearing hinge like the CB199?
Both are full mortise commercial hinges, but the bearing is exposed on one and hidden on the other. The Hager BB1362 uses four ball bearings visible between the knuckles of its five knuckle barrel. The Dormakaba CB199 is a full mortise concealed bearing heavy weight hinge, where the bearing is inside the knuckle for a smooth barrel appearance. The BB1362 is also a swing clear hinge in stainless steel, projecting the door 11/64 inch past the jamb stop at 90 degrees, which the CB199 does not do. Choose on whether the opening needs swing clear width first, then on bearing style.
11) Can I use a standard weight hinge instead of the Hager BB1362 on a lighter interior door?
On a lighter, lower-frequency interior opening a standard or medium weight hinge is often sufficient. The BEST 1900R is a steel full mortise concealed bearing standard weight hinge with a removable pin, rated medium duty, and the Stanley Security CB1960R is a comparable full mortise concealed bearing standard weight hinge, also medium duty. Both are steel rather than the stainless steel construction of the BB1362, and neither is a swing clear hinge, so they will not give you the 11/64 inch projection past the jamb stop.
12) Will the Hager BB1362 match the satin chrome hinges already on my other doors?
Not exactly. The BB1362 is supplied in 630 satin stainless steel (US32D). That reads as a brushed silver and sits close to satin chrome, but it is a different finish designation. If you are matching a run of doors finished 652 satin chrome, the Don-Jo BB74540 and BB84545 are ball bearing full mortise hinges supplied in satin chrome, though neither is a swing clear.
13) What is a pivot reinforced hinge and is it an alternative to the Hager BB1362?
A pivot reinforced hinge carries a pivot-style bearing arrangement to handle heavier or higher-frequency doors. The BEST FBB212 is a steel ball bearing pivot reinforced hinge for square edge doors, and the BEST CB223 is a stainless steel concealed bearing heavy weight pivot reinforced hinge for beveled edge doors. Both suit the same square or beveled edge door prep question, but neither is a swing clear hinge - if the reason you are looking at the Hager BB1362 is the clear width it gains at 90 degrees, a pivot reinforced hinge does not replace it.
14) Which brass or chrome finished ball bearing hinge is comparable to the stainless Hager BB1362?
If the opening calls for a brass hinge or a satin chrome finish rather than the satin stainless of the BB1362, the Don-Jo BB84545 is a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 brass full mortise ball bearing hinge in satin chrome, and the Don-Jo BB74540 is a 4-1/2 by 4 steel ball bearing full mortise hinge in satin chrome. Both are standard duty and conventional rather than swing clear, so they suit trim-matching on a typical interior door rather than an accessibility opening needing the extra clear width.
