BEST BEST-CECB191-66-630-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size and finish does the BEST CECB191-66 electrified hinge come in?
The CECB191-66 is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch hinge in 630 satin stainless steel, with square corners. That is the standard commercial hinge size and cutout, so it drops into a square-corner mortise prep on both door and frame without rework.
2) How many wires does the BEST CECB191-66 power transfer hinge have, and what gauge?
Six conductors: two at 24AWG and four at 28AWG. The heavier 24AWG pair is what you use for the power leg to an electric lock, exit device or hold-open, and the 28AWG conductors handle low-current signal, for example a card reader or request-to-exit run back to the panel.
3) Where in the door does an electrified hinge like the CECB191-66 get installed?
Mount it in the center hinge position and run the standard hinges top and bottom. Only one electrified hinge is needed per opening. The door and frame both need full mortise prep with clearance behind the leaf for the wire raceway, and the frame side lands at a junction box for the connections.
4) Is the BEST CECB191-66 heavy enough for a high-traffic entrance door?
It is a standard weight, medium duty hinge with concealed bearings, sized for commercial interior and moderate-traffic openings. For a heavy exterior door, a high-frequency stairwell or a door with a big closer on it, step up to a heavy weight electric hinge. The Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge is the double-duty option if the opening is beyond medium duty.
5) I need more than six conductors for a lock plus monitoring plus REX. What are my options?
Six conductors is the limit on the CECB191-66. If your device count needs more, go to an 8-wire hinge such as the Detex EWH8 Series five knuckle electric hinge, also a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 unit, offered in satin chrome. Count your legs first: an electrified lock, a door position switch and a request-to-exit each consume a pair.
6) Can I swap a standard 4-1/2 inch hinge for the CECB191-66 without re-prepping the door?
The leaf and cutout match a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 square corner mortise prep, so the hinge itself lands in the existing pocket. What retrofit does require is a wire path: you need a raceway from the hinge pocket in the door edge to the lock, and a hole through the frame rabbet to a junction box. On a hollow metal frame that is drilling and fishing; on an existing wood door it usually means routing the edge.
7) I need more than 6 conductors through the door for a card reader and monitoring - what electric hinge should I use instead of the BEST CECB191-66?
Step up to the Detex EWH8-626, a five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with 8 wires and a satin chrome finish. The BEST CECB191-66 is fixed at 6 wires (2 at 24AWG, 4 at 28AWG), so if your device schedule needs eight conductors in a single hinge, the EWH8 is the one to specify. Both are five knuckle hinges in the same 4.5 x 4.5 size, so the door and frame prep stays the same.
8) For a high-traffic opening, is there an electric hinge rated for more cycles than the BEST CECB191-66?
Look at the SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges, which carry an 800,000 cycle rating. The BEST CECB191-66 is a standard weight, medium duty hinge with concealed bearings, so for an entrance cycling constantly - a main lobby or a hospital corridor door - the PTH Series is the one to price against it.
9) Can I use a standard ball bearing hinge in place of the BEST CECB191-66?
No. A plain ball bearing hinge only swings the door - it carries no conductors. The BEST CECB191-66 is an electrified hinge that conducts current regardless of door position to electric locks, exit devices, or hold open devices through 6 concealed wires. If the opening needs power or signal crossing from frame to door, the substitute has to be electrified as well: the RCI 952 with 6-conductor wiring or the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 electrified hinge are both electric, despite the ball bearing in their descriptions.
10) Is the wiring on the BEST CECB191-66 exposed once the door is hung?
No. All six conductors run concealed through the hinge, so there are no exposed electrical parts after install, and the pin is a permanent fast pin that cannot be pulled. That is the reason to spec this over a surface-mounted door loop on openings where tampering is a concern.
11) Will an electrified hinge keep power to the lock when the door is open?
Yes. The CECB191-66 conducts current continuously regardless of door position, so an electric strike, electrified mortise lock or exit device stays on its circuit through the full swing. That also means monitoring and signal conductors report in real time rather than only when the door is closed.
12) What is the difference between a concealed bearing electrified hinge and a ball bearing one?
Both carry the leaf on bearings; on the CECB191-66 the bearings sit inside the 5-knuckle barrel so nothing shows in the knuckle line, which matters where the hardware is on public view. A visible ball bearing version does the same job with the races exposed between knuckles, for example the RCI 952 electrified hinge, which is also a 6-conductor medium duty unit, or the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 at the same 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 size.
13) Does the BEST CECB191-66 come with mounting screws?
It ships with all machine screws and the installation instructions. What is not in the box is the junction box, the power supply and the low-voltage cable from the frame back to the panel, so put those on the same order if the opening is new prep.
14) What is the difference between the BEST CECB191-66 and the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 electrified hinge?
Both are 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch standard weight electrified hinges rated medium duty. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a ball bearing hinge in the BB5 Series; the BEST CECB191-66 uses concealed bearings in a 5-knuckle full mortise body with square corners, and runs 6 wires (2 at 24AWG, 4 at 28AWG). The concealed bearing gives the BEST a flush barrel appearance where exposed ball bearing races are not wanted.
15) The BEST CECB191-66 is medium duty - what electric hinge should I specify for a heavier door?
The Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge in the EH Series is the heavier-service option to compare. The BEST CECB191-66 is a standard weight, medium duty hinge, which suits typical commercial interior and tenant doors; where the leaf is carrying a heavy door or high abuse, the Securitron EH is the one to put on the schedule instead.
16) Will stainless steel electrified hinges hold up in a coastal or wash-down building?
The CECB191-66 is stainless steel, which is what you want for corrosion resistance in humid, coastal or frequently cleaned environments, and the 630 satin stainless finish matches the stainless lock trim and push plates commonly used in healthcare and food service. Bear in mind it is still a medium duty standard weight hinge, so the deciding factor is door weight, not the finish.
17) Is the BEST CECB191-66 handed?
No. It is a full mortise butt hinge with five knuckles and symmetrical square-corner leaves, so the same part works on a left or right hand door. Orientation is set by which leaf goes to the frame, which you determine at install.
