Hager EC110041226D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a plain bearing hinge like the Hager EC1100 enough for a commercial door, or do I need ball bearing?
Plain bearing is the right call on medium weight doors that see medium frequency traffic, which is what the EC1100 is built for. Think offices, tenant suites, storage and back-of-house doors. For high traffic openings, doors with closers, or heavy doors, step up to a bearing hinge instead: the Orca Hardware 3535 Series is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner ball bearing commercial hinge, and the Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in the same 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 size.
2) Will the Hager EC1100 drop into an existing 4-1/2 inch hinge prep without rework?
Yes, in most cases. At 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches it matches the standard commercial door and frame prep, so if the existing mortise pockets are cut for a 4-1/2 inch hinge it swaps straight in. Check the corner radius on your existing pockets before ordering, since that has to match what you pull out.
3) Do screws come with the Hager EC1100, and does it work on a hollow metal frame as well as a wood door?
The EC1100 takes both all machine and all wood fasteners, so the same hinge serves a wood door and a hollow metal frame. Wood screw size is 1-1/4 inch by #12. Machine screws thread into tapped holes in the metal frame or door.
4) Can the pin be pulled on the Hager EC1100 to take the door down?
Yes. It uses a non-rising removable pin with a button tip and plug, so you can drive the pin out and lift the door off without unscrewing the leaves. That also means on an out-swinging exterior door the pin is reachable from the outside, so for those openings look at a non-removable pin hinge such as the Deltana CSB45N, a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square hinge supplied NRP.
5) What hinge do I use instead of the Hager EC1100 if the door needs to carry power to an electrified lock?
The EC1100 is a mechanical hinge with a non-rising removable pin and no wire path. For power transfer through the hinge, the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect, the Stanley CECB1900R54L is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square corner concealed conductor hinge with 4 wires, and the Command Access ETH-CB70 is a 3-knuckle standard weight energy transfer hinge.
6) What is the closest 4-1/2 inch standard weight 5-knuckle equivalent to the Hager EC1100?
The McKinney MP79 MacPro is a full mortise 5-knuckle standard weight hinge, which matches the EC1100's 5-knuckle standard weight full mortise configuration. The Stanley FBB191 is also a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, matching the EC1100's size directly.
7) If a door is too heavy or too high traffic for a plain bearing hinge, what should be used instead?
The EC1100 is a plain bearing hinge intended for medium weight doors or medium frequency service. For heavier doors or higher cycle openings, a bearing hinge in the same 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch size is the usual move: the Don-Jo HWBB74545 and HWBB84545 are heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinges at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, and the Ives 3CB1HW is a heavy weight 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge.
8) My frame is prepped for 4 inch hinges, not 4-1/2 inch. What plain bearing option fits?
The EC1100 is made in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch only. For a 4 inch prep in the same plain bearing medium duty class, the Orca Hardware 4040 Series is a 4 inch by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge and the 4014 Series is the same size with a 1/4 inch radius corner for frames prepped with rounded corners.
9) Can a residential plain bearing hinge be substituted for the Hager EC1100?
Only if the opening is actually residential. The EC1100 is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch hinge meeting ANSI A8133 for commercial use. Residential plain bearing hinges such as the Emtek 91013 and the Schlage S3P1010 are 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner hinges, and the Ives 1010RP is a steel plain bearing residential hinge with square corners. The smaller size will not fill a 4-1/2 inch door and frame mortise.
10) I need the door to self-close without a closer. Will the Hager EC1100 do that?
No. The EC1100 is a plain bearing full mortise hinge with a non-rising removable pin and no spring mechanism. For a self-closing opening in the same size, the Stanley 2060R is a full mortise square corner spring hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with a ferrous steel base.
11) For a door that needs security pins or a non-removable pin, what is an alternative to the Hager EC1100?
The EC1100 uses a non-rising removable pin with a button tip and plug, which can be pulled from the accessible side. Where the pin must stay put, the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge supplied with a non-removable pin, and the Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch steel security hinge with a 5/8 inch radius corner.
12) Do I have to order the Hager EC1100 handed?
No. A full mortise butt hinge like the EC1100 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand doors. What you do need to get right is the size and the corner prep matching your existing cutout.
13) What finishes can I get the Hager EC1100 hinge in to match the rest of my doors?
Five orderable finishes: 600 primed for painting, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, and 626 satin chrome. 626 is the usual match for commercial lever and exit hardware; 600 primed is the one to order when the frames and hinges get field painted to match the openings.
14) Does the Hager EC1100 meet a commercial hinge standard for a spec job?
It is built to meet ANSI A8133. That is the spec line to quote when a submittal calls for a standard weight, medium frequency full mortise hinge. If the drawing calls for a heavy weight hinge instead, the EC1100 is not the substitute.
15) How many Hager EC1100 hinges do I need per door?
Standard practice is three hinges on a door up to 7 feet 6 inches, adding one more for each additional 30 inches of height. The EC1100 is sold by the individual hinge in each finish, so order per leaf, not per pair. Hager publishes its standard hinge location dimensions in a reference sheet if you need exact spacing off the head.
16) What is the closest equivalent to the Hager EC1100 from another brand?
The nearest match in the same class is the McKinney MP79 MacPro, a 5 knuckle standard weight full mortise hinge. The Ives 1010RP is another plain bearing option, though it is a residential steel hinge in square corner. If you want the same 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 commercial size but with a bearing, the Orca 3535 Series ball bearing hinge is the step across.
17) Is the Hager EC1100 a steel hinge or brass, and will it hold up in a school corridor?
Steel construction, five knuckle, sized 4-1/2 by 4-1/2. It is rated for medium weight doors at medium frequency, which covers classroom and office doors. A main corridor or entry that cycles all day is beyond what a standard weight plain bearing hinge is intended for; use a heavy weight bearing hinge on those openings.
18) What is the difference between the Hager EC1100 and the Ives 3CB1?
Both are full mortise commercial hinges for medium duty service. The EC1100 is a 5-knuckle plain bearing hinge with a non-rising removable pin, while the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing hinge, so the bearings sit inside the barrel rather than the hinge riding on plain knuckle contact. Knuckle count also changes the look of the barrel on the finished opening.
19) Will a McKinney SQ3331 work in place of the Hager EC1100?
They share the 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch size, but they are different hinges. The EC1100 is a 5-knuckle plain bearing full mortise hinge that meets ANSI A8133 for commercial service, while the McKinney SQ3331 is a square barrel 2-knuckle decorative hinge rated standard duty. The 2-knuckle square barrel gives a very different appearance at the opening.
20) For a door in a wet or corrosive area, is there a non-ferrous alternative to the Hager EC1100?
The EC1100 is a steel hinge. Where a non-ferrous base metal is called for, the McKinney T2314 is a non-ferrous standard weight 5-knuckle hinge, which keeps the same 5-knuckle standard weight configuration. The Don-Jo HWBB85045 is a brass heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch if a larger heavy weight hinge is needed.
