Hager ECBB1101 4.5X4.5 US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager ECBB1101 hinge fit a standard 4-1/2 inch commercial hinge prep?
The ECBB1101 is offered in 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch, which is the standard full mortise size cut into most commercial hollow metal frames and 1-3/4 inch doors. Both leaves mortise flush into the door edge and the frame jamb, so it drops into an existing 4-1/2 inch square-corner prep of the same size. If the openings in your building were prepped for a 4 inch or 5 inch hinge, the leaf will not sit in the pocket and you need that size instead.
2) Do I need the non-removable pin option on the Hager ECBB1101 hinge?
Order the non-removable pin version any time the hinge is on an out-swinging exterior or secure door, because an exposed pin on the outside of the opening can be driven out. The ECBB1101 comes both ways in each finish: NRP yes or no, in 630 satin stainless and 619 satin nickel, all at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2. Standard pin is the non-rising removable type with a button tip and plug, which is what you want on interior openings where you may need to pull the door leaf off without unscrewing the hinges.
3) What hinge should I use instead of the ECBB1101 on a heavy traffic entrance door?
The Hager ECBB1101 is a medium duty hinge intended for medium weight doors or medium frequency service. For an opening carrying more weight or more cycles, the McKinney TCA3386 is a heavy weight square corner 5 knuckle full mortise hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, and the Stanley Security CB199 is a heavy weight full mortise concealed bearing hinge. The BEST CB223 is a heavy duty stainless steel concealed bearing pivot reinforced hinge for beveled edge doors, so match it to the door edge before you spec it.
4) Can the ECBB1101 carry power to an electrified lock in the door?
No. The Hager ECBB1101 is a non-electronic hinge. To transfer power through the hinge, the ACSI 5BB1 is a 5 knuckle ball bearing full mortise hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch with concealed electric through-wire, 4 wire at 28 gauge, in the 1100 Series. Wire count and gauge decide what it can feed, so match it to the lock or exit device load.
5) I need a hinge that lets a wheelchair clear the full door opening. Will the ECBB1101 work?
No. The Hager ECBB1101 is a standard full mortise hinge, so the open door leaf still sits in the clear opening. For a swing clear application, the BEST CB248 is a steel full mortise concealed bearing swing clear hinge for square edge doors, rated medium duty, which swings the door out of the opening to recover the width. Verify the door edge is square before ordering it.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Hager ECBB1101 hinge from another manufacturer?
The Hager ECBB1101 is a 5-knuckle, full mortise, ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. The Don-Jo BB94545 is a stainless steel full mortise ball bearing hinge in the same 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch size with a square corner, and the Don-Jo BB84545 is the brass full mortise ball bearing hinge in that same size, which lines up with the ECBB1101 material choice of brass or stainless steel. The McKinney TCA2314 and TCA2317 are square corner, 5 knuckle full mortise hinges in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch as well. Confirm the finish code you need before ordering, since the ECBB1101 runs 619 satin nickel and 630 satin stainless steel.
7) The old hinges measure 4-1/2 inches tall but only 4 inches wide. Does the ECBB1101 fit?
The Hager ECBB1101 is supplied in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, so it is wider than a 4-1/2 inch by 4 inch hinge and will not drop into the narrower mortise. The Don-Jo BB74540 is a full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4 inch in satin chrome, which matches the existing cutout. Measure the leaf width on the door edge, not the frame, before committing.
8) What finishes does the Hager ECBB1101 hinge come in, and will it match the stainless hardware on my other doors?
Two finishes: 630 satin stainless steel and 619 satin nickel. 630 is the common commercial satin stainless that matches most levers, closers and exit devices in institutional buildings, so if your other openings are 630, that is the one to standardize on. 619 satin nickel reads slightly warmer and is used to match brass-family hardware sets.
9) How many hinges do I have to buy, and are they sold individually?
ECCO hinges are sold in box quantities only, and the ECBB1101 has a required box package option of 3 pieces. Three is also the standard count for a 7 foot door, so one box covers one opening. For a taller door or a door with a closer where a fourth hinge is called for, plan the count on that basis before you order.
10) Are screws included with the Hager ECBB1101 hinge or do I need to buy fasteners separately?
Fasteners come with it. Each hinge ships with all machine and half wood screws (AMS x 1/2 WS), so you get machine screws for the hollow metal frame side and wood screws for a wood door leaf. Nothing else to order to hang the door.
11) Does the ECBB1101 hinge need to be handed when I order it?
No handing to specify. The ECBB1101 is a symmetrical 5-knuckle full mortise hinge with a non-rising removable pin, so the same hinge works on a left hand or right hand door. You set the swing by which side of the opening you mortise it into.
12) What is the difference between a ball bearing hinge like the Hager ECBB1101 and a concealed bearing hinge?
On the ECBB1101 the two bearings sit between the knuckles and are visible in the barrel, which is the traditional commercial look and lets you see the bearing at inspection. A concealed bearing hinge hides the bearing inside the knuckle for a smooth barrel and a cleaner sightline; ZenSupply carries the BEST 1900R and the Stanley Security CB1960R as medium duty standard weight concealed bearing hinges. Function is the same, the choice is appearance and what the spec on the drawing calls for.
13) Which ANSI grade does the Hager ECBB1101 hinge carry for a spec submittal?
The ECBB1101 is listed to ANSI A8112. Hager also states the brass version meets ANSI A2112 and the stainless steel version meets ANSI A5112, so cite the number that matches the material you actually order. That is what goes on the hardware schedule for commercial work.
14) Will the Hager ECBB1101 hinge rust on an exterior or coastal door?
Material is brass with a stainless steel pin or stainless steel with a stainless steel pin, so the pin will not corrode and seize in either build. The stainless body is the one to use on exterior, coastal, pool or wash-down openings. For a stainless equivalent from another line ZenSupply stocks, the Don-Jo BB94545 is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 stainless steel square corner full mortise ball bearing hinge.
15) Is there a plain steel ball bearing hinge if I do not need brass or stainless?
The Hager ECBB1101 is built in brass with a stainless steel pin or stainless steel with a stainless steel pin. Where a steel hinge is acceptable, the Don-Jo BB74545 is a steel full mortise ball bearing hinge, square corner, 5 knuckle, in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. Keep the stainless option for damp, coastal, or wash-down openings where corrosion resistance drives the choice.
16) Can I use a pivot reinforced hinge in place of the ECBB1101?
They are not interchangeable. The Hager ECBB1101 is a standard full mortise ball bearing hinge for medium weight 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 pivot reinforced hinge for beveled edge doors; pivot reinforced hinges use a different leaf geometry and door prep, and they are specified by door edge type. Reusing an existing standard mortise cutout points you back to a straight full mortise hinge.
17) What is a cheaper steel alternative to the Hager ECBB1101 for interior office doors?
For interior openings that do not need brass or stainless, a plain steel ball bearing hinge does the same job. ZenSupply carries the Don-Jo BB74545, a steel 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner 5-knuckle full mortise ball bearing hinge, and the McKinney TCA2314 and TCA2317, both square corner 5-knuckle full mortise hinges in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2. All three are standard duty rather than the medium duty rating on the ECBB1101.
