BEST BEST-CECB1900R-54RH-652-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the BEST CECB1900R-54 electrified hinge?
Yes. The CECB1900R-54 is built handed, left hand or right hand, because the wire exit has to come out on the hinge-jamb side that matches the door swing. Order the hand that matches the opening; a left hand hinge cannot be flipped for a right hand door.
2) What sizes does the BEST CECB1900R-54 come in, and will it drop into my existing hinge prep?
Three sizes: 4.5 x 4 inch, 4.5 x 4.5 inch, and 4.5 x 5 inch, all full mortise with square corners. If your existing frame and door are mortised for a square corner 4-1/2 inch hinge, match the leaf width you already have and it goes into the same prep. Radius corner preps will need to be squared off.
3) How many wires does the CECB1900R-54 have, and what can I run through it?
Four conductors. That is enough for a single electric device plus one monitoring or signal circuit, so it suits an electric lock, an electrified exit device, or an electromagnetic hold-open, and it can carry signal from a card reader on the door back to the access control panel. If you need to power a lock and monitor both a request-to-exit switch and a latch sensor on the same leaf, count your conductors first and move up to a higher wire count.
4) Where in the hinge stack does the electrified hinge go?
Install it in the center hinge location, not top or bottom. The other two hinges on the door stay standard non-electrified hinges of the same size and finish. Frame and door both need a wire pathway to a junction box behind the hinge pocket.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the BEST CECB1900R-54 electrified hinge if I need more than 4 conductors for a card reader plus electric lock?
The BEST CECB1900R-54 carries 4 wires, which suits a single electric lock, exit device, or hold-open circuit. When the opening needs an electric latch plus a reader or monitoring circuit on the same leaf, step up in conductor count: the RCI 952 electrified hinge is a 6-conductor, ball bearing hinge, and the Detex EWH8 is a five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with 8 wires. All three are full-size mortise hinges, so the door and frame prep is the same family of work; the difference is how many circuits you can carry through one leaf.
6) Is the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 a direct substitute for the BEST CECB1900R-54?
They are close peers, not identical. Both are standard weight electrified hinges rated medium duty, and the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is offered in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch, a size the CECB1900R-54 also covers along with 4.5 x 4 and 4.5 x 5. The build differs: the BEST hinge uses concealed bearings with a 3 knuckle full mortise body and a permanent fast pin, while the ETW2-BB5 is a ball bearing hinge in the BB5 series. If the spec calls out concealed bearing, stay with the CECB1900R-54; if the spec simply says standard weight electrified ball bearing, the ETW2-BB5 answers it.
7) What looks like a substitute for the BEST CECB1900R-54 but is not?
Watch two things. First, conductor count: the Detex EWH8 at 8 wires and the RCI 952 at 6 conductors are electrified hinges of the same general kind, but they are not drop-ins for a 4-wire CECB1900R-54 circuit and the reverse is also true, since a 4-wire hinge cannot carry an 8-conductor harness. Second, knuckle count and prep: the CECB1900R-54 is a 3 knuckle full mortise hinge, while the Detex EWH8 is a five knuckle hinge, so the leaf pattern is not the same. Also confirm handing, as the CECB1900R-54 is ordered left hand or right hand.
8) Is a concealed bearing electric hinge strong enough for a high traffic door?
The CECB1900R-54 is a standard weight, medium duty commercial hinge with three knuckles and concealed bearings. It handles normal commercial office, school, and tenant doors. For a heavy or constantly cycled opening, look at a heavier power transfer hinge such as the SDC PTH Series, which we list with an 800,000 cycle rating, or the Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge.
9) Will the wiring be visible after the BEST CECB1900R-54 is installed?
No. It is a concealed electric design, so no electrical parts are exposed once the hinge is mortised in. Current passes regardless of door position, which is why it is specified on openings where an exposed door loop would be a tamper target. It also uses a permanent fast pin to resist removal.
10) What finishes does the BEST CECB1900R-54 electrified hinge come in for matching existing doors?
Six finishes on steel: 633 satin brass, 639 satin bronze, 640 satin bronze dark, 641 oxidized bronze, 651 bright chrome, and 652 satin chrome. All three sizes are offered in each, in both hands, so you can standardize one finish across a building. 652 satin chrome is the usual match for US26D/satin chrome hardware already in place.
11) Is there a cheaper ball bearing electrified hinge in 4.5 x 4.5 instead of concealed bearing?
The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is an electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in 4.5 x 4.5 inch, also medium duty. The difference is visible bearings between the knuckles rather than the concealed bearings of the BEST CECB1900R-54, which keep the barrel looking like a plain hinge.
12) For a high-traffic entrance, should I use the BEST CECB1900R-54 or something with a published cycle rating?
The BEST CECB1900R-54 is a medium duty commercial electrified hinge with concealed bearings, intended for offices, schools, healthcare, and multi-tenant entries. Where the buyer wants a stated endurance figure for a heavily cycled opening, the SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges are rated to 800,000 cycles, and the Securitron EH is sold as a double duty electric hinge. Those are the ones to quote when the specification language is about cycle life rather than bearing type.
13) Which electrified hinge should I standardize on across a facility if the doors already use satin chrome hardware?
The BEST CECB1900R-54 is available in 652 satin chrome on steel, along with 651 bright chrome, 633 satin brass, 639 satin bronze, 640 dark satin bronze, and 641 oxidized bronze, in 4.5 x 4, 4.5 x 4.5, and 4.5 x 5, left or right hand, which makes it straightforward to run one model across mixed openings. If a particular door needs a different conductor count in a matching finish, the Detex EWH8 is offered in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with a satin chrome finish.
14) What comes in the box with the CECB1900R-54?
One hinge per box with the machine screws and installation instructions. Wire nuts, the junction box, conduit, and the power supply are separate, as are the two standard hinges for the top and bottom positions.
