BEST BEST-CECB1900R-58LH-652-4.5x4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes and handings does the BEST CECB1900R-58 electrified hinge come in?
The CECB1900R-58 is offered in two sizes, 4-1/2 x 4 inch and 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch, each in left hand and right hand, all in 652 satin chrome over steel. Electrified hinges are handed because the wire harness exits toward the hinge jamb on one side only, so order the handing that matches the door swing. Square corners on all four combinations, so it drops into a standard square-corner mortise prep rather than a radius-corner cutout.
2) How many wires does the BEST CECB1900R-58 have, and is that enough for an electric strike plus a card reader?
Eight conductors. That is enough to run more than one device through a single opening, for example power to an electric lock or exit device plus monitoring or reader signal back out. The hinge conducts current regardless of door position, so the circuit stays live through the full swing. If you only need power to one device, a 6-conductor hinge like the RCI 952 covers it.
3) Where in the door does an electrified hinge like the CECB1900R-58 get installed?
Center hinge location. The CECB1900R-58 is built to go in the middle position of a three-hinge opening, with standard hinges top and bottom carrying the weight, and it should be paired with a junction box in the frame for the wire terminations. Mount it anywhere else and you complicate the wire run for no benefit.
4) Is this a full mortise hinge, and does it need special door prep?
Full mortise, three knuckle, square corner. Both leaves mortise into the door edge and the frame rebate the same way a standard commercial hinge does, so the leaf prep itself is conventional. What is different is the wire path: you need a hole through the door edge behind the hinge and a raceway to the lock or exit device, plus a junction box on the frame side. BEST supplies the machine screws and installation instructions in the box.
5) The BEST CECB1900R-58 is medium duty. What electric hinge should I look at for a high-traffic or heavier door?
The BEST CECB1900R-58 is a standard weight, medium duty steel hinge. For openings where cycle life is the governing concern, the SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges are rated for 800,000 cycles, and the Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge. Either is the direction to go on a high-traffic entrance; the CECB1900R-58 suits interior and standard commercial door weight in the same access control role.
6) What is the closest 8-wire electric hinge to the BEST CECB1900R-58 in a 4.5 x 4.5 size?
The Detex EWH8 Series electric hinge is also an 8-wire unit in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with a satin chrome finish, so it carries the same conductor count for the same number of monitored or powered devices. The difference is knuckle count: the Detex is a five knuckle hinge, while the BEST CECB1900R-58 is a three knuckle concealed bearing hinge with square corners. If the existing door prep is routed for a three knuckle leaf, stay with the CECB1900R-58; if the frame already carries five knuckle hinges in the other positions, the Detex matches the look.
7) I only need to power a single electric strike. Is there a simpler electric hinge than the BEST CECB1900R-58?
Yes. The BEST CECB1900R-58 carries 8 wires, which is sized for openings where you are running power plus monitoring and signal back to an access control head end. For a single electric strike or a maglock with no monitoring, the RCI 952 electrified hinge uses 6-conductor wiring with ball bearing construction and is also a medium duty hinge, so it covers a basic power run with fewer conductors to terminate in the junction box.
8) What is the difference between a concealed electrified hinge and a surface-mounted electric power transfer?
With the concealed design, the wiring passes through the hinge barrel and door edge, so nothing electrical is visible with the door closed or open. That kills the easy tamper point and keeps the opening looking like any other hinged door. A surface power transfer loop mounts on the face of the frame and door edge and is quicker to retrofit, but it is exposed. If you want concealment, the CECB1900R-58 is the concealed route; Securitron's EH Double Duty electric hinge and the SDC PTH Series are other transfer options to weigh.
9) Can the CECB1900R-58 pin be removed to take the door off?
No. It uses a permanent fast pin, so the leaves do not separate by pulling a pin. To remove the door you unscrew the hinge leaves and disconnect the wiring at the junction box. Plan for that on service calls, and do not spec a fast pin hinge where a shop wants a loose pin for quick door removal.
10) Do I need an electrified hinge if I am just powering a maglock?
Usually not. A maglock mounts to the frame and header and gets power there, so no current has to cross to the door leaf. You need a transfer hinge like the CECB1900R-58 when the powered device is in or on the door itself, such as an electric mortise lock, an electrified exit device, an electric hold open, or a card reader mounted on the leaf. Spend the money on the hinge only when the wire has to cross the gap.
11) Is a ball bearing electric hinge like the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 the same thing as the BEST CECB1900R-58?
They fill the same role but the bearing construction differs. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is an electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch and is medium duty, the same duty level as the BEST CECB1900R-58. The BEST unit uses a concealed bearing rather than an exposed ball bearing barrel, and the CECB1900R-58 is offered in 4.5 x 4 as well as 4.5 x 4.5. Confirm conductor count against your access control device list before swapping either way.
12) Can I use a power transfer device instead of the BEST CECB1900R-58?
A power transfer unit moves current across the gap between frame and door but does not hang the door, so it is not a one-for-one swap. The BEST CECB1900R-58 is a full mortise hinge that both carries the leaf and conducts current regardless of door position, installed in the center hinge location. The SDC PTH Series is the closest peer that does both jobs in one part, since it is an electrified power transfer hinge. If you keep your existing hinges and add a separate transfer device, you are buying two parts instead of one.
13) Do I need to specify handing on electric hinges the way I do on the BEST CECB1900R-58?
The BEST CECB1900R-58 is ordered as left-handed or right-handed in both 4.5 x 4 and 4.5 x 4.5, because the concealed wire harness exits toward one side. Peers are catalogued differently: the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 and the Detex EWH8 are both listed as 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch electric hinges without a handed pair, so the ordering detail to nail down on the BEST part is the hand of the door.
14) What finish is the BEST CECB1900R-58 and will it match the rest of my satin chrome hardware?
652 satin chrome on steel, which is the standard commercial match for 626 satin chrome brass trim on locks and closers. Since this hinge goes in the center position, the two companion hinges on the opening should be ordered in the same 652 to keep the jamb consistent. Detex's EWH8 8-wire electric hinge is also a satin chrome option if you are matching across brands.
15) Is a ball bearing electric hinge better than the concealed bearing on the BEST CECB1900R-58?
They solve the same problem differently. The CECB1900R-58 uses concealed bearings, so the bearing races are hidden inside the knuckles and the barrel reads as a plain butt hinge. Exposed ball bearing electric hinges, like the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 or the RCI 952, show the bearing rings between knuckles. Both are medium duty. Pick on appearance and on matching the other hinges already hanging in the building.
16) I need satin chrome to match the other hinges on the opening. Which electric hinges come in satin chrome?
The BEST CECB1900R-58 is supplied in 652 satin chrome over steel across its sizes and handings. Among the comparable electric hinges, the Detex EWH8 is also offered in a satin chrome finish, so either will blend with 652 or 626 hardware already on the frame. Match the knuckle count and size as well as the finish, since a five knuckle leaf next to three knuckle hinges reads as a mismatch even in the correct color.
