PDQ 35SSBB 2 Ball Bearing Hinge, Stainless Steel

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hinges does a commercial door need?
A door up to 5' tall needs two hinges, plus one more for each additional 30" of height or part of it. That means three hinges on a standard 7' door and four on an 8' door.

What is the difference between ball bearing and plain bearing hinges?
Ball bearing hinges have hardened steel ball bearings between the knuckles, so the door turns with less friction and the hinge wears less. Plain bearing hinges pivot metal on metal with no bearings and suit low-traffic doors. PDQ recommends ball bearing hinges on any door with a closer.

What is a non-removable pin hinge?
A non-removable pin (NRP) hinge has a pin that cannot be tapped out while the door is closed, so the door cannot be lifted off by pulling the pins. It should be specified on out-swinging doors. PDQ includes a non-removable pin on every 2 and 4 ball bearing hinge.

PDQ 35SSBB4545630NRP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the PDQ 35SSBB ball bearing hinge be used on an exterior door?
Yes. The 35SSBB is a stainless steel full mortise hinge, and PDQ specifies stainless steel for exterior doors and corrosive environments. Plain steel hinges are the interior, non-corrosive choice. It also ships with a non-removable pin as standard, which is what you want on an out-swinging exterior door so the door can't be lifted off by tapping the pins out.
2) What hinge sizes does the PDQ 35SSBB come in, and which one matches my existing door prep?
Four sizes: 4 x 3-1/2 inch, 4 x 4 inch, 4-1/2 x 4 inch, and 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch. The first number is leaf height, which has to match the existing mortise in the door and frame, and the second is the open width. If you are replacing hinges, measure an existing leaf and order the same size; 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 is the common commercial size on 1-3/4 inch doors.
3) How many PDQ 35SSBB hinges do I need per door?
Two hinges carry a door up to 5 feet tall, then add one for each additional 30 inches of height or fraction of it. A standard 7 foot door takes three, an 8 foot door takes four. The 35SSBB is packed 3 per carton, so one carton covers a typical 7 foot opening.
4) Is the PDQ 35SSBB acceptable on a fire rated door opening?
PDQ's full mortise hinges conform with NFPA 80-2010 Section 6.4.3.1, and select models and sizes are certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.1-2013. The 35SSBB carries ANSI/BHMA function A5112. UL listing on the PDQ hinge line applies to the SH spring hinges and EL electrified hinges, not to this standard weight ball bearing model.
5) Should I use a 2 ball bearing or a 4 ball bearing heavy weight hinge?
The 35SSBB is a standard weight 2 ball bearing hinge, right for normal commercial doors under daily traffic. Go to a 4 ball bearing heavy weight hinge when the door is unusually heavy or the traffic is high. Plain bearing hinges suit low-traffic doors only, and PDQ recommends ball bearing on any door fitted with a closer, which the 35SSBB satisfies.
6) Do PDQ 35SSBB hinges come with screws, or do I order fasteners separately?
Screws are in the box. Every hinge is packed with 12-24 x 1/2 inch flat head machine screws for metal frames and #12 x 1-1/4 inch flat head wood screws for wood doors and frames, so you can hang either substrate without buying fasteners.
7) What finishes does the PDQ 35SSBB hinge come in, and do both cover all sizes?
Two finishes: 630 satin stainless steel and 622 flat black. The 630 finish covers all four sizes (4 x 3-1/2, 4 x 4, 4-1/2 x 4, 4-1/2 x 4-1/2). The 622 flat black is offered in 4-1/2 x 4-1/2, part number 35SSBB4545622NRP, which is the usual pairing with black lever trim and closers.
8) Will the PDQ 35SSBB hinge clear the frame when the door is closed?
It is a full mortise, swaged hinge with 1/16 inch clearance between the leaves in the closed position, which is the standard commercial butt hinge geometry for a mortised door and frame prep. Series 35 is full mortise, so both leaves mortise into the door edge and the frame rabbet rather than surface mounting.
9) How do I read a PDQ 35SSBB part number when ordering?
The number stacks the options after the model. In 35SSBB4035630NRP, 35SSBB is the series and model, 4035 is the 4 x 3-1/2 inch size, 630 is satin stainless steel, and NRP is the non-removable pin. Same pattern gives 35SSBB4545630NRP for a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch satin stainless hinge.
10) Is the PDQ 35SSBB suitable for apartment and school doors, or is it a residential hinge?
It is a commercial-grade hinge, and PDQ lists education buildings, healthcare facilities, and multifamily as its typical applications. For a property manager standardizing a building, the 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch size in 630 satin stainless is the common spec and matches most existing commercial preps.
