BEST BEST-CECB1960R-56LH-605-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the BEST CECB1960R-56 electrified hinge?
Yes, handing is a required choice. The CECB1960R-56 is built either left-handed or right-handed, and both are offered in 4.5 x 4.5 inch size. Determine the swing from the door's hinge side as you stand on the side the door swings away from, then order to match. A wrong-hand electrified hinge cannot be flipped, because the wire exit is oriented to the door.
2) What size is the BEST CECB1960R-56 electrified hinge and where in the door should it go?
It is a 4.5 x 4.5 inch full mortise hinge with square corners, and it is meant for the center hinge location of the opening. The top and bottom positions stay standard non-electrified hinges of matching size and finish.
3) Will 6 wires be enough to run my electric lock and monitoring?
The CECB1960R-56 carries six conductors, which covers a typical electric mortise lock or electrified exit device plus a monitoring or request-to-exit circuit. Current passes regardless of door position. If your device needs more than six conductors, step up to an 8-wire transfer hinge such as the Detex EWH8 Series 4.5 x 4.5 electric hinge.
4) Is this hinge heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial door?
The CECB1960R-56 is a standard weight, medium duty commercial hinge with concealed bearings and three knuckles. That suits normal-weight interior and office doors. For heavy doors or very high cycle openings, look at a heavier transfer hinge such as the SDC PTH Series, which is rated to 800,000 cycles, or the Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge.
5) What is the closest 6-wire alternative to the BEST CECB1960R-56 electrified hinge?
The RCI 952 is the nearest match on conductor count: it is an electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction, rated medium duty, the same duty level the CECB1960R-56 carries. The difference is bearing style - the BEST hinge uses concealed bearings, while the RCI 952 is a ball bearing design. If your access control device needs six conductors through the center hinge, either will carry the same circuit count.
6) I need more than six conductors through the door - what should I use instead of the CECB1960R-56?
The CECB1960R-56 is built with a 6-wire configuration, so if your electric lock, request-to-exit exit device, and monitoring all need separate runs beyond six conductors, step up to the Detex EWH8 series five knuckle electric hinge, a 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch hinge with 8 wires in a satin chrome finish. Note the knuckle count differs - the BEST hinge is a 3 knuckle full mortise, the Detex is five knuckle - so confirm the existing door and frame mortise before swapping.
7) Is a junction box required with this electrified hinge?
Plan on one. BEST specifies the CECB1960R-56 be used with a junction box for the frame-side connections, so include the box and the wire raceway in the frame prep. The hinge itself ships with its machine screws and installation instructions.
8) Can the wiring be tampered with once the hinge is hung?
No electrical parts are exposed once the CECB1960R-56 is installed, and it uses a permanent fast pin so the pin cannot simply be pulled. The conductors run concealed between leaf and frame.
9) What finishes does the BEST CECB1960R-56 come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Two finishes: 605 bright brass and 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. Both are offered in either hand at 4.5 x 4.5 inches. If your building is standardized on satin chrome or 626, this hinge will not match, and a chrome-finish transfer hinge like the Detex EWH8 in satin chrome is the closer visual fit.
10) Electrified hinge or a separate electric power transfer, which should I use?
An electrified hinge like the CECB1960R-56 does two jobs at once, hanging the door and passing power, so you only prep the center hinge pocket and a frame raceway instead of adding a separate transfer device in the edge of the door. It is the simpler route on a full mortise opening with a standard 4.5 inch hinge prep. A separate power transfer makes more sense when the hinges are already specified and you do not want to disturb them, or when the conductor count exceeds what the hinge carries.
11) Is there a ball bearing electrified hinge in 4.5 x 4.5 I can use in place of the BEST CECB1960R-56?
Yes. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in the BB5 series, and it is rated medium duty, matching the duty level of the CECB1960R-56 in the same 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch size. The CECB1960R-56 uses concealed bearings rather than exposed ball bearings, which is the visible difference at the knuckle.
12) For a high-traffic opening, is there an electrified hinge with a published cycle rating instead of the CECB1960R-56?
Look at the SDC PTH series electrified power transfer hinges, which are published with an 800,000 cycle rating. The BEST CECB1960R-56 is a medium duty commercial hinge with concealed bearings, so on an entrance seeing very heavy daily traffic the PTH series gives you a stated cycle figure to hold the spec against.
13) What is the difference between the BEST CECB1960R-56 and the Securitron EH hinge?
The Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge in the EH series. The BEST CECB1960R-56 is a standard weight, medium duty full mortise hinge with concealed bearings and a 6-wire configuration, offered in 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch, left or right hand, in 605 bright brass or 613 satin bronze. Choose by weight class and finish: the Securitron is the double duty option, the BEST covers standard weight commercial openings in a brass or bronze architectural finish.
14) Can I substitute the Detex EWH8 for the BEST CECB1960R-56 on a door already mortised for the BEST hinge?
Not without checking the prep. Both are 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch, but the CECB1960R-56 is a 3 knuckle full mortise hinge with square corners, while the Detex EWH8 is a five knuckle electric hinge. Knuckle count does not change the mortise footprint on its own, but corner style and leaf radius do, so verify the existing frame and door cutout is square-corner before swapping. The finishes also differ - the Detex is satin chrome, the BEST comes in 605 bright brass or 613 satin bronze.
15) What can this hinge power on the door side?
It feeds electric locks, electrified exit devices, or electric hold open devices, and it keeps current flowing whether the door is open or closed. Confirm the device's voltage and conductor needs against your power supply before you wire it in.
