BEST BEST-CECB1960R-58LH-630-5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order the CECB1960R-58 electrified hinge left hand or right hand?
Handing matters on this one. The BEST CECB1960R-58 is built handed, and it's offered left-handed or right-handed, both in 630 satin stainless with a 4-1/2 x 5 inch leaf size. Determine the door's hand before ordering, because a handed electric hinge puts the wire exit on the wrong side of the frame if you get it backwards.
2) Will a 4-1/2 x 5 inch electric hinge fit a door prepped for standard 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 hinges?
No. The CECB1960R-58 is a 4-1/2 inch by 5 inch hinge, so it is a half inch wider across the leaves than the common 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 commercial prep. The mortise depth and screw pattern on an existing 4-1/2 square prep will not take it without rework. If your frame and door are already cut for 4-1/2 x 4-1/2, look at an electric hinge in that size, such as the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 or the Detex EWH8 8-wire hinge, both of which are 4-1/2 x 4-1/2.
3) Is 8 wires enough for an electric mortise lock plus a request-to-exit and door position switch?
Eight conductors covers a lot: a typical electrified mortise lock draws two for power, and monitoring points like request-to-exit, latch status, and door position each take a pair. The CECB1960R-58 carries 8 wires, which is generally enough to power one electric lock or exit device and carry two or three monitored signals on the same opening. If you only need lock power and one switch, a 6-conductor hinge like the RCI 952 will do it.
4) Is this electric hinge suitable for a high-traffic entrance, or is it too light duty?
The CECB1960R-58 is a standard weight, medium duty hinge with concealed bearings, which suits interior commercial doors and moderate-traffic openings. For a heavy or high-abuse door, a heavy weight power transfer hinge is the better call, such as the Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge or the SDC PTH Series, which is rated to 800,000 cycles.
5) What else do I need to buy to finish an electrified hinge installation?
Beyond the hinge itself you need a junction box at the frame for the transition from the hinge leads to building wiring, plus the balance of the hinges for the opening since an electric hinge only replaces one of the three. The CECB1960R-58 is a three knuckle full mortise hinge, so pair it with matching three knuckle full mortise hinges in the same size and 630 finish at the top and bottom positions, and supply your own power supply and connectors sized for the lock or exit device load.
6) What is the closest 8-wire alternative to the BEST CECB1960R-58 electrified hinge?
The Detex EWH8 electric hinge is the nearest match on wire count. Both carry an 8-wire configuration, which is what you need when a single opening has to feed several devices at once - an electric lock plus an exit device plus a monitoring signal, for example. The differences are in the hinge body: the CECB1960R-58 is a 3-knuckle full mortise hinge on concealed bearings, offered 4.5 x 5 inches in 630 satin stainless steel, while the Detex is a five knuckle hinge sized 4.5 x 4.5 inches in a satin chrome finish. If the existing mortise on the frame is cut for a 4.5 x 5 leaf, the BEST drops in without rework; if the door is prepped 4.5 x 4.5, the Detex matches the existing cutout.
7) What should I use instead of the BEST CECB1960R-58 on a high-traffic opening?
The CECB1960R-58 is rated medium duty, which suits offices, tenant corridors, and similar commercial traffic. For an entrance cycling constantly - a main lobby, a school corridor, a hospital through-door - look at the SDC PTH Series power transfer hinges, which carry an 800,000 cycle rating, or the Securitron EH Double Duty electric hinge built for heavier service. The tradeoff is the wire path: the BEST is an 8-wire concealed design with no electrical parts exposed once mortised in, so if tamper resistance on the wiring matters more than cycle count, stay with it and confirm the traffic level against the opening.
8) Where in the hinge stack should the electrified hinge go?
Put it in the center hinge position. On a three-hinge opening that keeps the wire transfer away from the top hinge where the door load concentrates and away from the bottom where it can be kicked, and it gives you a clean run to the frame junction box. The CECB1960R-58 needs a junction box at the frame side for its connections.
9) Does this hinge carry the electrical load while the door is swinging, or only when closed?
Current flows continuously regardless of door position on the CECB1960R-58, so an electrified mortise lock, electric exit device, or electromagnetic hold-open stays powered through the swing. That matters for access control where a card reader on the door leaf has to keep talking to the panel while the door moves.
10) Are the wires and connections exposed where someone could tamper with them?
No exposed electrical parts once the hinge is mortised in. The concealed electric design on the CECB1960R-58 hides the conductors inside the barrel and leaves, and the hinge uses a permanent fast pin so the pin cannot simply be pulled to open the joint.
11) Will square corner hinges work in my frame, or do I need radius corners?
The CECB1960R-58 has square corners, which matches frames and doors mortised with a router and chisel or factory-prepped square. If your existing openings are prepped with a 1/4 inch or 5/8 inch radius, a square corner hinge will leave a gap at the corners of the pocket and will need the mortise squared up.
12) Can I use this to run power to an electric strike in the frame?
No, and it's a common mix-up. An electrified hinge like the CECB1960R-58 exists to get power and signal from the frame across to something mounted on the door leaf: an electrified mortise lock, an electric latch retraction exit device, a hold-open, or a card reader on the door. An electric strike is already in the frame, so it's wired directly and needs no transfer hinge.
13) I only need to power a single electric strike - is there a simpler electrified hinge than the CECB1960R-58?
Yes. The RCI 952 electrified hinge runs 6 conductors on ball bearing construction, which is more than enough for one electric strike or a single lock with no monitoring. The BEST CECB1960R-58 carries 8 wires, and that extra capacity is aimed at openings where a code reader, an electric lock, and an exit device all share the same transfer point. If you are wiring one device today but expect the opening to be expanded later, the 8-wire path gives you spare conductors to pull from without cutting the frame again.
14) Is the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 a direct swap for the BEST CECB1960R-58?
They are both medium duty electrified full mortise hinges, but they are not interchangeable without checking two things. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a 4.5 x 4.5 inch standard weight ball bearing hinge; the BEST CECB1960R-58 is 4.5 x 5 inches with concealed bearings and an 8-wire run. So the leaf width differs, which means the frame and door mortise have to match, and you need to confirm the ETW2-BB5 carries enough conductors for the devices on your opening before treating it as a substitute. On a retrofit where the existing prep is 4.5 x 5, the BEST is the one that seats in the existing cutout.
15) Does the 630 finish match the rest of my satin stainless hardware?
630 is satin stainless steel, the standard BHMA finish number for brushed stainless, and it's the finish the CECB1960R-58 ships in. It lines up with 630 exit devices, mortise locks, and push plates on the same opening. If your building is standardized on satin chrome 626 rather than stainless, the Detex EWH8 8-wire electric hinge is offered in 626.
16) Do I need an electrified hinge at all, or will a power transfer device do the job?
Both routes get current across the gap. The BEST CECB1960R-58 does it as a hinge - it replaces the center hinge and carries 8 conductors through the barrel, conducting regardless of door position, with no electrical parts exposed once installed. The SDC PTH Series is likewise a power transfer hinge and carries an 800,000 cycle rating. Choosing between them comes down to whether you want the transfer to double as a load-bearing hinge in an existing mortise, which the full mortise BEST does in a 4.5 x 5 prep, and how heavy the cycle demand on the opening runs.
17) We standardize on satin chrome hardware - what electrified hinge matches?
The Detex EWH8 electric hinge comes in a satin chrome finish at 4.5 x 4.5 inches with 8 wires. The BEST CECB1960R-58 is supplied in 630 satin stainless steel at 4.5 x 5 inches, left or right handed, with square corners. The two finishes read similarly from a distance but are not identical, so if the other hinges on the floor are one or the other, match to what is already hung rather than mixing them on adjacent openings.
