BEST 2060R-3.5x3.5 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will BEST 2060R spring hinges hold a 3' x 7' door, or do I need the bigger size?
Size the hinge to the door leaf. The 4 inch (102mm) 2060R is rated for doors up to 3' x 7' (914 x 2134mm), so a standard 3-0 x 7-0 opening is squarely in range. Go up to the 4 1/2 inch (114mm) for doors up to 4' x 8' (1219 x 2438mm), and down to the 3 1/2 inch (89mm) only for doors up to 2' 8" x 7' (813 x 2134mm), which covers most closet and small utility openings. Ordering a 3 1/2 for a 3-0 door leaves you short of the rated capacity.
2) Should I use spring hinges or an overhead door closer on apartment and hotel doors?
Spring hinges like the 2060R close the door from within the hinge itself, so nothing is mounted on the door face or the frame head. That matters on hotel guest rooms and apartment unit entrances where a surface closer looks wrong or gets tampered with, and it is a lower-cost route than an overhead closer for those openings. What you give up is control: an overhead closer gives you separate sweep, latch, and backcheck adjustment plus delayed action for accessibility. The 2060R gives you one adjustable closing power setting through the internal ratchet. If the opening needs ADA-compliant opening force tuning or delayed closing, use a closer instead.
3) Which spring hinges carry a UL listing for a labeled fire door opening?
The BEST 2060R meets NFPA80 for 3-hour fire doors with UL listing for maximum door sizes per hinge dimension. Among the alternates, the Design Hardware SH is a UL spring hinge at medium duty, and the Emtek 95013 is a UL listed 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch square corner spring hinge in plated steel. The SOSS 216IC and 220IC invisible spring closers carry a 20 minute fire rating, which is a shorter rating than the 3-hour NFPA80 application the 2060R is built for, so match the hinge to the label on the door assembly.
4) The door frame is prepped with 1/4 inch radius corners, not square. What spring hinge fits instead of a 2060R?
The BEST 2060R is a square corner hinge, so a frame routed for 1/4 inch radius corners needs a radius corner spring hinge. The Hager 1251 is a full mortise standard weight steel spring hinge with 1/4 inch round corners at medium duty. In 4 inch by 4 inch, the Orca Hardware SPR4014 is a 1/4 inch radius corner spring hinge, medium duty, from the 4014 Series. For a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch opening with a 1/4 inch radius, the Deltana DSH35R4 is a single action steel spring hinge at that size and radius. Corner style has to match the existing prep or the hinge will not seat flush.
5) What is the difference between the BEST 2060R and the SOSS 218IC or 220IC invisible spring closer hinges?
The 2060R is a full mortise spring hinge with a removable pin and a visible knuckle on the edge of the door. The SOSS 218IC is an invisible spring closer hinge, 7 inch, heavy duty, requiring a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, and the SOSS 220IC is a 7 inch invisible spring closer hinge with a 20 minute fire rating and a 2 inch minimum door thickness. The SOSS 216IC is a 20 minute fire rated invisible spring closer in the 216 Series, also heavy duty. Those SOSS units mortise into the door and frame edges and disappear when the door is closed, and they carry a heavy duty rating where the 2060R is medium duty. Check the door thickness before specifying a SOSS unit, since the 220IC needs 2 inches.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a BEST 2060R square corner standard weight spring hinge from another manufacturer?
The McKinney 1502 is the nearest match: a square corner full mortise standard weight spring hinge in 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch, medium duty, the same size and corner style the BEST 2060R offers in its 4.5" x 4.5" configuration with square corners. The Hager 1250 is a second full mortise standard weight spring hinge in steel construction at medium duty. All three are single action full mortise spring hinges intended for the same commercial openings, so a door already prepped square corner for the 2060R takes the McKinney 1502 without changing the mortise.
7) Will a Deltana DASH95 or DASHS double action hinge work where a 2060R is specified?
No. The Deltana DASH95 is a double action spring hinge with solid brass cover plates and the Deltana DASHS is a double action saloon hinge in 4 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch heights. Double action means the door swings both directions and returns to center, which is what a saloon or cafe door does. The BEST 2060R is a single action full mortise spring hinge that closes a door into a stop in one direction, which is what a fire door, stairwell door or guest room door requires. If a single action closing hinge is what the opening needs, the Deltana DSH35R4-A single action spring hinge at 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch is the Deltana part in that family, not the DASH95.
8) How many spring hinges do I need per door, and do they replace all the hinges?
On a fire-rated opening the hinge count comes from the NFPA80 requirements for that door, which the 2060R is built to meet. In practice spring hinges are installed in the same mortises as the butt hinges they replace and you use as many spring hinges as the door needs to close reliably against its latch and any weatherstrip, with the remaining positions filled by matching plain butt hinges. Verify the door prep, thickness, weight, and required hinge count before you order, then use the BEST templates to lay out the mounting holes.
9) Do I have to specify handing when ordering BEST 2060R spring hinges?
No handing to call out on the 2060R. It is a full mortise butt-style spring hinge, so it works on left or right hand doors; what you specify is size, finish, and how many you need for the opening. The removable pin lets you pull the door without unscrewing leaves, which also means the same hinge serves either hand.
10) What finishes do BEST 2060R spring hinges come in to match the rest of my building's hardware?
Twelve finishes, covering the usual commercial specs: 630 satin stainless and 629 bright stainless, 652 satin chrome and 651 bright chrome, 632 bright brass and 633 satin brass, 638 satin brass blackened, 639 satin bronze and 640 dark satin bronze, 641 oxidized bronze, 693 black, and 600 primed for painting. If you are standardizing an apartment or hotel fleet, 630 and 652 are the finishes that match most existing commercial lever and closer hardware; 600 is there when the hinge gets painted to match the frame.
11) Can the closing force on a BEST 2060R be adjusted after installation?
Yes, and you do not need a loose adjustment pin to do it. The 2060R uses an internal ratchet so you can wind the closing power up or down in place, which is how you dial in a door that is dragging on weatherstrip or slamming. The removable pin means adjustments, service, and repairs happen without pulling the whole hinge off the door and frame.
12) Is the BEST 2060R heavy duty enough for a high-traffic entrance?
It is a standard weight, medium duty commercial hinge with plain bearing operation. That suits guest rooms, apartment entrances, classroom and office doors, and patient room doors, which is what BEST rates it for. For a heavy leaf or a high-cycle entrance, plain bearing standard weight is the wrong choice; you want a heavy weight ball bearing hinge for the load positions. Among spring hinges, the SOSS 218IC and 220IC invisible spring closers are heavy duty rather than medium.
13) What is the difference between the BEST 2060R and a Hager 1150 or 1250 spring hinge?
All three are standard weight, medium duty full mortise spring hinges, so they do the same job on the same kind of opening. The split is material and corner style. The Hager 1150 is stainless steel, the Hager 1250 is steel, and both are square corner like the 2060R (the 1251 and 1252 are the radius corner versions of the 1250). The 2060R is offered in steel or stainless with a removable pin and twelve finishes. McKinney's 1502 is the other square corner full mortise standard weight option, in 4 1/2 by 4 1/2. Pick on corner style and prep first, then finish.
14) Can I use a Pemko Markar FM400 or FS402 continuous hinge in place of a BEST 2060R?
No, those are built for a different opening. The Pemko Markar FM400 Series is a full mortise spring loaded continuous hinge with an 80 lb load capacity for toilet partitions, and the FS402 Series is a spring loaded continuous hinge for toilet partitions at the same 80 lb capacity. The FM900 Series and the FS902 Series, the latter in 304 stainless steel, are also 80 lb toilet partition hinges. A continuous hinge runs the full height of the leaf rather than mounting as separate butts, and these are specified for partition doors, not the 3 foot by 7 foot and 4 foot by 8 foot commercial doors the 2060R is sized for.
15) Is a stainless steel version of the same spring hinge available from another brand?
The Hager 1150 is a full mortise spring hinge in standard weight stainless steel at medium duty, which is the stainless counterpart to the Hager 1250 in steel construction. The BEST 2060R itself is offered in stainless finishes including 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel, so either route covers a corrosion-exposed opening such as a coastal or wash-down corridor.
16) I need a 3-1/2 inch square corner spring hinge. What are the options besides the BEST 2060R?
The BEST 2060R is made in a 3.5" x 3.5" size with square corners, sized to doors up to 2 foot 8 inch by 7 foot. The Emtek 95013 is the other square corner option at that size: a 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch UL listed spring hinge in plated steel, sold as a pair. The Emtek ships as a pair where the 2060R is ordered by the individual hinge, so count the openings before ordering.
17) The door is heavier than a standard weight spring hinge handles. What is the alternative?
The BEST 2060R is a standard weight, medium duty spring hinge. Where the opening calls for more, the SOSS invisible spring closers are rated heavy duty: the 218IC at 7 inch with a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, the 220IC at 7 inch with a 2 inch minimum door thickness, and the 216IC in the 216 Series. Those require a door thick enough to accept the mortise, so verify the leaf thickness first. If the opening also has to stay in a butt hinge prep, the Hager 1150 in stainless steel and the McKinney 1502 remain standard weight medium duty like the 2060R.
18) Is a spring hinge like the BEST 2060R an alternative to an overhead door closer?
Yes for the right opening. The 2060R is described as a cost-effective alternative to overhead mounted door closers, closing the door from within the hinge itself with an internal ratchet that adjusts closing power up or down, and its removable pin allows adjustment without pulling the whole hinge. If a self-closing action is wanted without any visible hardware at all, the SOSS 216IC, 218IC and 220IC invisible spring closer hinges conceal entirely when the door is shut, though they are heavy duty units with minimum door thickness requirements of 1-3/4 inch on the 218IC and 2 inch on the 220IC.
19) Will BEST 2060R spring hinges hold up in a damp or coastal environment?
Specify stainless. The 2060R is built in steel or stainless steel, and the stainless versions are the ones to use where corrosion is a concern. On the finish side, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel are the stainless finishes; the brass, bronze, and chrome finishes are plated over steel.
20) Are 4-1/2 x 4 spring hinges an option, or only square sizes?
The 2060R comes in 4.5" x 4" as well as the square 3.5" x 3.5", 4" x 4", and 4.5" x 4.5". The 4-1/2 by 4 is the one to order when the frame is prepped for a 4-1/2 inch leaf height but the door is thinner or has less clearance behind it than a full 4-1/2 inch hinge width allows, so you keep the existing mortise height without over-projecting the leaf.
