Hager ECBB1103 4.5 X 4.5 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size and finish does the Hager ECBB1103 ball bearing hinge come in?
The ECBB1103 is ordered as a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch hinge in 630 satin stainless steel, with a choice of standard removable pin or non-removable pin (NRP). It can also be taken as a single hinge or as a 3-piece box package, which is how most openings get outfitted since a standard commercial door takes three per leaf.
2) Can I use the Hager ECBB1103 hinge on a fire rated door?
Yes. The ECBB1103 complies with NFPA 80 for fire rated door assemblies and meets ANSI A156.1, carrying an ANSI A8112 designation. That is the pairing an inspector looks for on a labeled opening.
3) Do I need the NRP version of the Hager ECBB1103?
Specify NRP when the door swings out and the hinge barrel is on the unsecured side, which is the usual case on exterior out-swinging doors and on stairwell or equipment room doors. The non-removable pin keeps someone from driving the pin out and lifting the leaf. On in-swinging doors the standard removable pin is fine, and it makes taking the door down for maintenance much quicker.
4) Is a heavy weight hinge like the ECBB1103 overkill for a standard office door?
It is built for heavy weight doors and high frequency openings, so the places it earns its keep are entrances, corridor cross doors, restrooms, and anything with a closer on it seeing constant traffic. For a lighter interior door that gets opened a few times a day, a standard weight hinge such as the Don-Jo BB74545 or the McKinney TCA2314, both 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 five knuckle full mortise hinges, covers the job.
5) Will the Hager ECBB1103 drop into an existing 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 hinge prep?
Yes, if the existing hinge is a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 full mortise, the ECBB1103 goes into the same mortise on door and frame. That size is the commercial standard and it is what the hinge is offered in. If the opening was prepped for standard weight and you are upgrading because the door is sagging, the swap is straight across in the same cutout.
6) Can I get the ECBB1103 with electric through-wire for an electrified lock?
No. The ECBB1103 is a non-electronic hinge. If you need power transferred through the hinge to a strike or electrified lever, look at a concealed through-wire hinge such as the ACSI 5BB1, a five knuckle full mortise 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 with a 4-wire 28ga concealed electric through-wire.
7) What is the closest heavy weight equivalent to the Hager ECBB1103 in a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 size?
The McKinney TCA3386 is the nearest match. It is a square corner, 5 knuckle full mortise hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch and is rated heavy duty, the same duty level the ECBB1103 carries, and the same 5 knuckle full mortise configuration. The ECBB1103 differs in bearing construction, using ball bearings with a non-rising removable pin with button tip and plug, and in substrate, being brass and stainless.
8) What should I use instead of the Hager ECBB1103 on a beveled edge door or where a wheelchair needs full clear width?
The ECBB1103 is a standard full mortise hinge and does not address either condition. For a beveled edge heavy weight door, the BEST CB223 is a stainless steel concealed bearing heavy weight pivot reinforced hinge made for beveled edge doors. Where the door leaf has to clear the opening entirely, the BEST CB248 is a steel full mortise concealed bearing swing clear hinge for square edge doors, at a medium duty level.
9) Will the ECBB1103 corrode on an exterior or coastal door?
The ECBB1103 is brass and stainless construction, and it is offered in a 316 stainless finish option (US32D 316SS) along with US10B, US15 and US26. The 316 stainless is the one to call out for coastal, pool, or wash-down areas where a plated steel hinge would rust at the knuckles.
10) What is the difference between a ball bearing hinge like the Hager ECBB1103 and a concealed bearing hinge?
The ECBB1103 puts its bearings in visible races between the knuckles, five knuckles with ball bearings between them, which is the traditional commercial look and easy to identify in the field. Concealed bearing hinges hide the races inside the barrel for a cleaner, more uniform edge, such as the Stanley Security CB199 heavy weight or the BEST 1900R standard weight. Function is comparable; the choice is usually appearance and whatever the rest of the building already has.
11) I need a heavy weight hinge but the ECBB1103 finish does not match my building. What else works?
For a heavy weight full mortise hinge in a different make, the McKinney TCA3386 is a square corner 5-knuckle 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 heavy weight hinge, and the Stanley Security CB199 is a heavy weight full mortise concealed bearing hinge. The BEST CB223 is heavy weight as well but it is pivot reinforced and prepped for beveled edge doors, so check your door edge before substituting it.
12) Does the ECBB1103 handing matter when I order?
No handing to call out. A five knuckle full mortise butt hinge like the ECBB1103 is symmetrical and works on either hand, left or right, in-swing or out-swing. The only directional decision is whether you need the non-removable pin, which depends on which side the barrel lands when the door is closed.
13) How many Hager ECBB1103 hinges do I need to order per door?
Standard commercial practice is three hinges on a door up to 7 feet 6 inches, with a fourth added for taller leaves. The ECBB1103 can be bought as a 3-piece box package for exactly that reason, so one box outfits one typical opening.
14) If a door does not need heavy weight hinges, what is a lighter alternative to the Hager ECBB1103?
For standard weight openings, the BEST 1900R is a steel full mortise concealed bearing hinge with a removable pin at a medium duty level, and the Stanley Security CB1960R is a full mortise concealed bearing standard weight hinge, also medium duty. Both are concealed bearing rather than ball bearing. The ECBB1103 is specified heavy duty for heavy weight doors or doors requiring high frequency service, so the lighter options suit lower traffic doors that do not carry that load.
15) How do the Don-Jo BB74545, BB84545 and BB94545 compare with the Hager ECBB1103?
All three Don-Jo hinges are 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch full mortise ball bearing hinges rated standard duty. They differ by material: the BB74545 is steel with a square corner and 5 knuckles, the BB84545 is brass in satin chrome, and the BB94545 is stainless steel with a square corner. The ECBB1103 is a heavy duty, 5 knuckle ball bearing hinge in brass and stainless intended for heavy weight doors or high frequency service, so the Don-Jo options fit openings specified at standard weight.
16) Is the Don-Jo BB74540 a drop-in replacement for a Hager ECBB1103?
Not dimensionally. The Don-Jo BB74540 is a full mortise ball bearing hinge sized 4-1/2 inch by 4 inch in satin chrome and rated standard duty, while the ECBB1103 is offered in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. The narrower 4 inch leaf will not reuse the existing frame and door prep of a 4-1/2 inch square hinge, and the duty level is lower than the heavy duty rating of the ECBB1103.
17) What is the difference between the Hager ECBB1103 and the McKinney TCA2314 or TCA2317?
The TCA2314 and TCA2317 are both square corner, 5 knuckle full mortise hinges measuring 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch at a standard duty level. The ECBB1103 shares the 5 knuckle full mortise format and the 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch size but is rated heavy duty, uses ball bearings, and is built in brass and stainless. Choose by the weight and traffic of the opening rather than by the leaf size, which is common to all three.
18) Concealed bearing or ball bearing - which heavy weight hinge should I standardize on?
Both are available at heavy duty. The Hager ECBB1103 is a ball bearing full mortise hinge with a non-rising removable pin with button tip and plug, in brass and stainless. The Stanley Security CB199 is a full mortise concealed bearing heavy weight hinge, and the BEST CB223 is a stainless steel concealed bearing heavy weight hinge prepared for beveled edge doors. Concealed bearing hides the bearing within the knuckle for a smooth barrel appearance; ball bearing exposes the bearing races between knuckles. Match whichever is already running on the rest of the facility's openings.
