Orca Hardware 4" x 4" x 1/4" Radius Corner Plain Bearing Residential Hinge

Yes. The Orca 4014 residential hinge is 4 x 4 inches with 1/4 inch radius corners, so it drops straight into a factory-routed 4 inch mortise with 1/4 radius. If the existing pocket is square-cornered or cut for a 5/8 radius, this leaf won't sit right. Radius size is not interchangeable: a 5/8 radius pocket leaves a visible gap around a 1/4 radius leaf, and a square pocket needs the corners chiseled. Check what's already in the jamb before ordering, since most prehung residential doors ship 1/4 radius but plenty are 5/8.

Plain bearing is what the Orca 4014 uses, and it is rated residential. For interior unit doors, closets, and bedroom doors in a rental, that is the normal spec and it holds up fine. Where it falls short is a door with a closer on it, a heavy solid-core or fire door, or an entry that cycles all day at a lobby or common area. Those need a bearing hinge. In that case look at the Delaney CH401X, a 4 x 4 commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners, or the Ives 3CB1 concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty. Note the Delaney is square corner, so it will not match a 1/4 radius pocket without rework.

No. The 4014 is a residential-duty zinc alloy plain bearing hinge and is not the part for a commercial opening, a fire door, or anything on an ADA-compliant path. It is not ADA compliant. For a commercial full mortise application, the Ives 3CB1HW heavy weight concealed bearing hinge or the Hager BB1168 non-removable pin ball bearing heavy duty hinge are the right class of product.

The Orca 4014 is a plain bearing residential hinge and is not a security hinge. For an out-swinging exterior door where the pin is accessible, Deltana DE44R5TA is a 4 inch by 4 inch security hinge in steel with a 5/8 inch radius, sold as a pair. Deltana CSB45N is a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch square hinge with a non-removable pin, also a pair, and Hager BB1168 is a non-removable pin full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge. Note the Deltana security options are 5/8 inch radius or square corner, so the mortise profile differs from the Orca 4014.

The Orca 4014 is built for residential applications with a plain bearing. For a commercial door, the Ives 3CB1 is a 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty, and the Ives 3CB1HW is the heavy weight version of the same concealed bearing full mortise hinge. Don-Jo's HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch in satin chrome. Bearing type is the dividing line: plain bearing suits residential traffic, while bearing hinges are what commercial openings with closers and constant cycling call for.

No. The Orca 4014 uses 1/4 inch radius corners, which is a different mortise profile than a 5/8 inch radius. For a 5/8 inch radius opening at the same 4 inch by 4 inch size, Delaney's RH45xx is a bulk residential exterior hinge at 4 inch by 4 inch with 5/8 inch radius, sold as a pair, and the RH40xx is a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge in 5/8 inch radius by square. If the doors are 3-1/2 inch, Delaney RH35xx is a bulk steel residential interior hinge at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with 5/8 inch radius. Match the radius to the existing cut and the hinge drops in without jamb work.

No - the mounting method is different and they are not interchangeable. The Orca 4014 is a full mortise hinge, meaning both leaves are mortised, one into the door edge and one into the jamb. The Hager 1129 is a half mortise plain bearing commercial hinge at 4-1/2 inch standard weight steel, where only one leaf is mortised and the other surface-mounts to the frame. The Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge at 3 inch by 4 inch with a welded tip, which mounts on the face of both door and frame with no mortise at all. Check how the existing hinge is set into the opening before you order a replacement.

Eight finishes: oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, painted black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, bright brass, satin brass, and antique brass. That covers the usual residential trim families, so a property manager standardizing a building can usually match existing levers and deadbolts without changing hinge model. Order all the hinges for a given door from one finish, since plated finishes vary slightly across production runs.

No, size is the difference and it changes the mortise. The Orca 4014 is 4 inch by 4 inch with 1/4 inch radius corners. Common 3-1/2 inch residential options are the Schlage Residential S3P1010, a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square corner plain bearing mortise hinge in packs of three, the Emtek 91013 residential plain bearing hinge at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners in plated steel, and the Deltana DSB35 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square residential hinge sold as a pair. For a fleet order, pick one size and one corner style and hold it across the whole building so replacements interchange.

No - the Orca 4014 is a mechanical plain bearing hinge with no wiring provision. For power transfer through the hinge, Command Access ETH-BB68 is a 5-knuckle heavy duty steel base energy transfer hinge and ETH-CB70 is the 3-knuckle standard weight medium duty version. BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect, rated medium duty. If you also need door position monitoring, Command Access ETM-BB68 adds an integrated door position switch and ETM-CB70 provides door position sensing on a 3-knuckle steel base.

The Orca 4014 is a plain bearing hinge at 4 inch by 4 inch. Staying at 4 inch by 4 inch, the Delaney CH401X is a commercial ball bearing hinge with square corners at that size. If you can go larger, the Don-Jo HWBB84545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge at 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, and the HWBB85045 is a 5 inch by 4-1/2 inch brass heavy weight ball bearing hinge, both in satin chrome. Hinge width and height determine the mortise, so a 4-1/2 inch hinge means recutting the jamb and door edge.

The Orca 4014 is a residential plain bearing hinge and is not built for abuse-rated openings. For detention and high-security work, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge, and the Stanley Security BB855 is a double weight prison hinge at 5 inch by 6 inch furnished with no holes and not swaged, so it is prepped to the job. The BEST CB1969R is a concealed bearing heavy weight pivot-reinforced hinge for heavy duty service. These are much larger and heavier leaves than a 4 inch by 4 inch residential hinge and require frame preparation to suit.

No. The Orca 4014 is a full mortise hinge for a single swing direction. A door that swings in both directions needs a pivot rather than a butt hinge - the BEST DAP-3 is a heavy duty double acting pivot for commercial interior doors. That is a different mounting entirely, set at the head and floor rather than mortised into the jamb, so it is a change to the opening and not a hinge swap.

The Orca 4014 is ordered by the single hinge, with finish as the only choice you make. That differs from a lot of residential hinge lines that ship in pairs or sets, so count what the job needs. Most 4 x 4 residential doors take three per leaf.

The 4014 is zinc alloy and rated residential, which is a coastal and weather consideration rather than a strength one. For an exterior leaf that sees sun and rain, a steel hinge is the more common choice, and the Delaney RH45xx exterior residential hinge is built for that duty. Inside the unit, zinc alloy is fine.

The Orca 4014 is a 4 inch by 4 inch residential plain bearing hinge. Moving into standard weight commercial, the McKinney MP79 MacPro is a full mortise 5-knuckle standard weight hinge and the MPB79 MacPro is the 5-knuckle standard weight bearing version. The Stanley Security FBB191 is a 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinge at 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch. Those Stanley and McKinney leaves run larger than 4 inch, so confirm the door edge and jamb prep will take the wider hinge.

The Orca 4014 is 4 inch by 4 inch, which is sized for a standard interior or entry door. For a narrower stile, the Deltana DSB3 is a 3 inch by 3 inch square hinge sold as a pair, and the Deltana DSB35 steps up to 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch as a residential square hinge, also a pair. Both use square corners rather than the 1/4 inch radius on the Orca 4014, so the mortise profile differs as well as the size.
