BEST BEST-CECB1901R-56LH-652-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the BEST CECB1901R-56 electrified hinge?
Yes, handing is part of the order. The CECB1901R-56 comes in left-hand and right-hand, both in 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch and 652 satin chrome steel. The hinge also uses a permanent fast pin, so it is not field-reversible the way a loose-pin hinge is. Determine the door's hand before you order, and note that hospital tips are an option only when the hinge is specified right-hand or left-hand.
2) How many wires does the BEST CECB1901R-56 electrified hinge have, and what can I run through it?
Six conductors. That is enough to power an electric mortise lock or electric exit device and still carry a monitoring circuit such as latch or request-to-exit back to the panel, or to feed a hold open device. Current passes regardless of door position, so the circuit stays live through the full swing.
3) Where in the door does an electrified hinge like the CECB1901R-56 get installed?
Center hinge location. The CECB1901R-56 is a full mortise hinge intended for the middle position in a three-hinge opening, with the top and bottom positions carried by standard non-electrified hinges of matching size and finish. Plan door and frame prep for wire routing to a junction box, and leave yourself service access at that middle knuckle.
4) Is this hinge heavy enough for a solid core or fire-rated-weight commercial door?
The CECB1901R-56 is rated heavy weight, heavy duty, for commercial use, with concealed bearings and a three-knuckle full mortise design. That is the class you want under a heavy solid core or metal door on a high-traffic opening. A medium weight electrified hinge, such as the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 or the RCI 952, is the lighter-duty alternative for less demanding doors.
5) I need more than six conductors for my access control setup. What else is there?
Six conductors is the limit on the CECB1901R-56. If your opening needs more circuits, for example an electric lock plus both latch monitor and door position feedback on separate pairs, look at the Detex EWH8 Series 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 electric hinge, which is an 8-wire device in satin chrome. The Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge is another power transfer option.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a BEST CECB1901R-56 electrified hinge if I need more than 6 wires?
The BEST CECB1901R-56 carries a 6-wire configuration through a concealed bearing, heavy duty steel full mortise hinge. If the access control package needs more conductors than that, the Detex EWH8 series electric hinge is a five knuckle 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch hinge with 8 wires in a satin chrome finish. Same leaf size, two additional conductors, and a five knuckle body rather than the three knuckle build of the CECB1901R-56.
7) Is there a lighter duty electrified hinge than the BEST CECB1901R-56 for an interior office door?
The BEST CECB1901R-56 is a heavy duty electrified hinge, sized for high traffic commercial openings. For a lighter opening, the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a medium duty electrified ball bearing hinge in the same 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch leaf size, and the RCI 952 is a medium duty electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction. The RCI 952 matches the CECB1901R-56 on conductor count, so a 6-wire device wiring plan carries over.
8) Is the wiring exposed once the hinge is mounted?
No. On the CECB1901R-56 there are no electrical parts exposed once the hinge is installed, so there is nothing at the hinge line for someone to cut or short. Everything is inside the mortise pocket and routed into the frame.
9) What is the difference between a concealed bearing electrified hinge and a ball bearing one?
Concealed bearing hinges hide the bearing inside the knuckle, so the barrel reads as a plain uniform knuckle instead of showing the stacked bearing rings you see on a ball bearing hinge. Function is the same. The BEST CECB1901R-56 is the concealed bearing type; if the rest of the openings in your building already show visible ball bearing knuckles, a ball bearing electrified hinge like the RCI 952 will match the look better.
10) Will the square corners on this BEST hinge match my existing door and frame prep?
The CECB1901R-56 has square corners, which is the standard prep on hollow metal frames and machined wood doors. If your existing hinges have rounded corners, typical of residential-style routed prep, the mortise pocket will not accept a square corner leaf without rework. Check the corner radius of the hinge you are pulling out before ordering.
11) Does the BEST CECB1901R-56 come with mounting screws?
It ships with all machine screws and installation instructions. Machine screws mean the hinge is intended for tapped metal door and frame prep. What is not in the box is the low-voltage side of the job: power supply, junction box, connectors, and the wire run from the frame back to the panel.
12) Should I use an electrified hinge or a separate electric power transfer for my door?
An electrified hinge like the CECB1901R-56 puts the transfer in the middle hinge position, so you reuse hinge prep you already need and nothing is visible on the face of the opening. A separate door loop or concealed transfer device is a better call when you cannot machine the frame for a wired hinge, or when conductor count outruns what the hinge carries. If you want a transfer-specific product line instead, the SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges are the option there.
13) What is the difference between a BEST CECB1901R-56 and an SDC PTH power transfer hinge?
Both move current from frame to door through the hinge itself. The BEST CECB1901R-56 is a three knuckle full mortise hinge with concealed bearings, square corners and 6 wires, built to heavy duty in steel. The SDC PTH series is a power transfer hinge line published with an 800,000 cycle rating, which is the figure to quote when a spec calls out a cycle number. If the drawing calls for a stated cycle life, the PTH answers it directly; if it calls for a concealed bearing heavy weight hinge, the CECB1901R-56 does.
14) Can I use a Securitron EH hinge in place of a BEST CECB1901R-56?
They serve the same purpose - carrying power through a hinge to an electric lock, exit device or hold open. The Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge. The BEST CECB1901R-56 is a heavy duty steel full mortise hinge with concealed bearings, three knuckles and 6 wires, ordered right hand or left hand in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with a 652 satin chrome finish. Before swapping either way, confirm the conductor count your lock and monitoring devices need and that the leaf size matches the existing door and frame prep, since hinge cutouts are not interchangeable across sizes.
15) Do I need an electrified hinge like the BEST CECB1901R-56, or will a standard ball bearing hinge work?
A standard hinge only hangs the door. The BEST CECB1901R-56 is an electrified hinge that conducts current to an electric lock, exit device or hold open device regardless of door position, with no electrical parts exposed once installed. If any device in the door leaf needs power or monitoring, you need an electrified hinge - the CECB1901R-56 at 6 wires, the RCI 952 which also carries 6 conductors, or the Detex EWH8 at 8 wires if the device count is higher. A non-electrified ball bearing hinge is not a substitute in that opening.
16) What finish and size does the BEST CECB1901R-56 come in?
One size and one finish: 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches in 652 satin chrome over steel. 652 is the standard commercial painted-chrome-tone finish, so it will sit alongside 652 hinges and 626 satin chrome lock trim on the rest of the opening without looking out of place. Order your non-electrified top and bottom hinges in the same 4-1/2 inch size and finish.
