McKinney T2714 Square Corner 5 Knuckle Interim Full Mortise Hinge

It solves a mismatch: the door is prepped for one hinge size and the frame is prepped for another. The TA2714 is a reversible steel full mortise standard weight hinge where an equal amount is trimmed off the top and bottom of the leaf, so the shortened leaf drops into the smaller prep while the other side still covers the larger one. The stainless steel version of the same thing is the TA2314.

No rework needed, that is exactly the case an interim hinge covers. The TA2714 is trimmed equally at the top and bottom of the leaf so it lands in a shorter prep without re-cutting or filling the deeper one. It is reversible, so the same hinge works whether the trimmed leaf goes to the door or the frame.

The pin is held in place by an NRP set screw, and NRP - Non-Removable Pin is offered as an ordering option. That is what you want on an outswing door where the barrel is on the outside, since the pin cannot be driven out to lift the door off.

It has square corners, which is the standard prep on hollow metal frames and commercial wood doors. If your existing hinges have rounded corners, you need a radius corner hinge instead, such as the Orca Hardware 4 x 4 x 1/4 inch radius corner or the 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 1/4 inch radius version, or the leaf will not sit in the mortise.

The McKinney T2714 is a standard weight, medium duty hinge recommended for standard weight, medium frequency doors or doors with closing devices. For an opening you consider heavy weight or high frequency, the Don-Jo HWBB75045 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 5 by 4-1/2 inch steel, and the Ives 3CB1HW is a heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge. Note those are conventional hinges; if the door and frame are prepped for two different hinge sizes, the interim leaf of the T2714 is what bridges that condition.

The Stanley Security FBB191 in 4.5 by 4.5 inch is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge in the same family of openings. The difference is purpose: the McKinney T2714 is an interim hinge, trimmed an equal amount from the top and bottom of the leaf, and is intended specifically for openings where the door and frame were prepped for two different hinge sizes. If both the door and the frame carry the same prep, a conventional standard weight 5-knuckle hinge such as the FBB191 covers it without the interim leaf trim.

The McKinney T2714 holds its pin with an NRP set screw and can be ordered with the non-removable pin option, so it does answer the security concern. It is a standard weight, medium duty steel hinge. If the opening is heavier or higher frequency, the Hager BB1168 NRP is a full mortise ball bearing hinge rated heavy duty with a non-removable pin, and the Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inch square corner hinge sold in pairs with a non-removable pin. Choose the T2714 when the opening also has mismatched door and frame hinge preps, since that is the condition it is built for.

Yes, it is recommended to hang a door for a 180 degree swing. That assumes nothing else in the opening (wall return, adjacent trim, a stop) blocks the leaf.

No handing to specify. The TA2714 is reversible, so one part number serves both left and right hand openings. That also cuts what a property manager or MRO stockroom has to keep on the shelf.

Both machine and wood screws are supplied: 1/2 inch #12-24 machine screws for hollow metal frame prep, and 1-1/4 inch #12 wood screws for a wood door or wood jamb. Nothing else is needed to hang it.

The TA2714 is a 5 knuckle steel hinge; a 3 knuckle concealed bearing hinge like the Ives 3CB1 or Hager 920 hides the bearings inside the barrel for a cleaner look and different wear behavior. Both are medium duty. The reason to choose the TA2714 is the interim trim, which lets it bridge a door and frame prepped for two different hinge sizes, something the standard 3 knuckle hinges do not do.

No. The TA2714 ships with a no hole bottom plug, so the barrel is closed off at the bottom. If you need wire to pass through the hinge for an electric strike, electric lock, or door position monitoring, you want an electrified hinge instead, such as the BEST CECB179-12C with 12-wire quick connect or a Command Access ETH energy transfer hinge.

No. If the door and frame are prepped for the same hinge size, buy a standard full mortise hinge and save the trouble. The interim leaf is trimmed down, so you would be covering less of a matching mortise than you need to. Use a standard weight or heavy weight hinge in the size both preps call for, for example the Orca 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner ball bearing or a Don-Jo HWBB74545 in 4-1/2 x 4-1/2.

The TA2314 is the stainless steel interim hinge; the TA2714 is the steel one. Same idea in both, full mortise standard weight, reversible, for openings where the door and frame preps differ. Go stainless where corrosion is the concern.

Not on a commercial opening. The McKinney T2714 is a commercial full mortise hinge in steel with square corners and 5 knuckles. The Emtek 91013 is a residential plain bearing hinge sold in pairs at 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch, and the Delaney RH45 series is a bulk residential exterior hinge. Those suit residential doors, not a commercial frame, and neither addresses an opening where the door and frame carry two different hinge preps.

If both preps match, a standard square corner commercial hinge will seat fine. The Orca Hardware 3535 series is a 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inch square corner ball bearing commercial hinge rated medium duty, and the Orca 4040 series is a 4 by 4 inch square corner plain bearing commercial hinge, also medium duty. The McKinney T2714 shares the square corner and medium duty rating but is the interim version, with equal material trimmed from the top and bottom of the leaf for mismatched preps.

McKinney builds the interim full mortise standard weight hinge in two base materials: the TA2314 in stainless steel and the TA2714 in steel. Both are reversible and share the same interim leaf design. If the opening calls for a concealed bearing rather than a 5-knuckle exposed barrel, the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, and the Hager 920 is a 2-knuckle full mortise concealed plain bearing steel hinge, also medium duty - neither is an interim hinge, so they assume matching door and frame preps.

No - those solve different problems. The McKinney T2714 is a full mortise hinge, mortised into both the door edge and the frame. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge, which mortises into the door but surface applies to the frame, so it needs a different frame condition. The Stanley 2060R in 4.5 by 4.5 inch is a full mortise square corner spring hinge, used where the door must self close without a closer. Neither carries the interim leaf that lets the T2714 bridge a door and frame prepped for two different hinge sizes.

The McKinney T2714 is a standard weight, medium duty commercial hinge and is not a security-grade product. For detention openings, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, the Stanley BB855 is a double weight prison hinge furnished with no holes and not swaged in 5 by 6 inch, and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge in 3 by 4 inch with a welded tip. The BEST DAP-3 double acting pivot is catalogued for emergency rescue openings if that is the requirement instead.

It is a commercial hinge, steel, medium duty. It will physically work on a residential door if the prep matches, but for interior residential work a plain bearing hinge like the Ives 1010RP or the Schlage S3P1010 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 square corner set is the normal choice.
