BEST BEST-BB95RH-626-6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST BB95 olive knuckle hinge work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The BB95 is built for doors from 1-3/8 inch (35 mm) to 1-3/4 inch (44 mm), which covers both the standard commercial 1-3/4 inch leaf and the lighter 1-3/8 inch interior door. One detail that trips people up: the edge of the hinge sits 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) back from the door face on either thickness, so the setback does not change when you move from a 1-3/8 to a 1-3/4 inch opening.
2) Do I have to order the BB95 olive knuckle hinge handed, and how do I tell left from right?
Handing matters here. The BB95 is a handed hinge and comes as either Left Hand or Right Hand, so you have to know the swing before you order. Stand outside the opening, on the side the door swings away from you: if the hinges are on your left, it is left hand. Get it wrong and the hinge will not sit correctly on the opening. Both hands are offered in 605 Bright Brass and 626 Satin Chrome.
3) Can I take the door down without unscrewing the BEST BB95 hinges?
Yes, the BB95 uses a removable pin. Pull the pin and the door lifts off the frame leaf, so you can hang a door, pull it for painting, or swap a leaf without backing out the mounting screws. Worth knowing for security: a removable pin is not a non-removable (NRP) pin, so on an out-swinging exterior door anyone on the outside can reach the pin. For an out-swing exterior opening, specify a hinge with a non-removable pin or a security stud instead.
4) Will the BB95 hinge mount on a hollow metal frame, or is it wood doors only?
Both. The BB95 goes on hollow metal or wood doors and frames. It is a full surface hinge with template hole locations, so BEST supplies the template and the hole pattern is pre-engineered rather than something you lay out by eye. Corners are square, so it matches square-corner prep rather than a radius-corner mortise.
5) Is the BEST BB95 rated for a high traffic entrance like a school or hospital main door?
No. The BB95 is a standard weight, medium duty hinge intended for average frequency doors. It is a good fit for offices, restaurants, recreational buildings and residences, and for secondary or lower traffic openings in schools, healthcare and retail. For a main entrance or any door cycling constantly, step up to a heavy weight, heavy duty hinge instead.
6) What is a stainless steel alternative to the BEST BB95 olive knuckle hinge?
The ABH 019OK is an olive knuckle hinge built in stainless steel, where the BEST BB95 is forged brass. Both carry the olive knuckle profile, so the visible knuckle styling at the door edge reads the same. Choose the stainless 019OK where a facility standardizes on stainless door hardware or where the opening sees moisture and wash-down; choose the forged brass BB95 where the door hardware suite is brass and the 605 bright brass or 626 satin chrome finish needs to match the rest of the openings.
7) What is an olive knuckle hinge and when would I use one instead of a standard butt hinge?
An olive knuckle hinge carries a single rounded, olive-shaped barrel instead of the stacked five-knuckle barrel of a butt hinge. It is chosen where the hinge is seen: the BB95 in forged brass with an anti-friction bearing assembly gives you a cleaner edge line on office, restaurant, recreational building and residential openings. Where appearance does not matter and the door is heavy or high traffic, a standard weight or heavy weight butt hinge is the plainer choice. The BB95 is a medium duty, standard weight hinge for average frequency doors, not a high frequency entrance.
8) Is a brass olive knuckle hinge OK for an exterior door, or should I use stainless?
Forged brass holds up outdoors and the BB95 is called out for interior and exterior door applications, so it is a legitimate exterior choice on an in-swing opening. If your spec calls for stainless steel instead (coastal exposure, a stainless hardware package, or a facility standard), the ABH 019OK Series olive knuckle is the stainless steel commercial version of the same hinge type. Note again that the BB95 pin is removable, which is the deciding factor on an out-swinging exterior leaf.
9) Is the Deltana OK2015 a direct replacement for a BEST BB95 hinge?
No. The Deltana OK2015 is an olive knuckle hinge in solid brass at 2 inch by 1-1/2 inch, sold one hinge at a time, while the BEST BB95 is a forged brass full surface olive knuckle hinge with a removable pin rated commercial and medium duty for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The two share the olive knuckle look, not the leaf size or the door prep, so a swap means new hole locations. Treat the OK2015 as a styling match rather than a retrofit.
10) I need olive knuckle hinges for a commercial office door. How do the BEST BB95 and ABH 019OK compare?
Both are commercial olive knuckle hinges. The BEST BB95 is forged brass, medium duty, with square corners, a removable pin, and left hand or right hand configurations in 605 bright brass or 626 satin chrome. The ABH 019OK is a stainless steel commercial olive knuckle hinge. On an office door the deciding factor is usually the finish schedule and the existing hardware on the adjacent openings, since both cover the same decorative knuckle detail.
11) Will the BB95 swing smoothly on a heavier door, or will it start to drag?
The BB95 carries an anti-friction bearing assembly rather than running plain knuckle on knuckle, which is what keeps the swing smooth and quiet as the door loads the barrel over time. Bearings are what separate a hinge that will take a solid core or a brass-clad leaf from a plain bearing-less hinge. Just keep it inside the medium duty, average frequency range it is built for.
