Ives 5BB1HW 4.5x4.5 652 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What makes the Ives 5BB1HW a heavy weight hinge?
The 5BB1HW features thick steel construction and five ball bearing knuckles for enhanced load capacity. Heavy weight rated hinges handle frequent use and heavier doors better than standard weight options.
2) What door types work with this full mortise hinge?
Full mortise hinges install in wood and hollow metal door frames. Both door and frame require mortised pockets for proper installation. Not suitable for surface mount applications.
3) How do I determine left or right hand for this hinge?
Stand on the side where the door opens toward you. If hinges are on your left, order left hand. If hinges are on your right, order right hand. Verify handing with door manufacturer specifications.
4) What finish options are available for the 5BB1HW?
Ives offers multiple finish options including US26D satin chrome, US32D stainless steel, and various bronze finishes. Confirm specific finish availability and matching with existing hardware.
5) What grade rating does this hinge carry?
Heavy weight ball bearing hinges typically meet ANSI Grade 1 requirements for commercial applications. Verify specific grade certification for code compliance on your project.
6) Does this hinge meet commercial building code requirements?
Heavy weight ball bearing hinges generally satisfy commercial code requirements. Check local codes for specific grade and cycle requirements. Fire rated doors may need additional certifications.
7) What screws and installation hardware are included?
Standard packaging typically includes mounting screws. Heavy weight hinges require proper screw length and thread type for your door and frame material. Verify screw specifications before installation.
8) How deep should I cut the mortise pocket?
Mortise depth equals the hinge leaf thickness. Most full mortise hinges require 1/8 inch depth. Use manufacturer templates for precise measurements and screw hole locations.
9) How often do ball bearing hinges need maintenance?
Ball bearing hinges require minimal maintenance. Clean periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid lubricating ball bearings as this can attract dirt and reduce performance.
10) Are there similar models to the 5BB1HW?
Ives offers various ball bearing hinge models with different sizes and weight ratings. Browse our Ives hardware collection for comparable options and specifications.
11) Will this hinge work in high moisture environments?
Steel hinges need appropriate finishes for moisture resistance. Stainless steel finishes perform better in humid conditions. Consider environmental factors when selecting finish options.
12) What are the standard dimensions for the 5BB1HW?
Verify exact dimensions with product specifications as sizes vary by model. Standard commercial hinges range from 4 to 6 inches in height. Check manufacturer data for precise measurements and clearances.
