BEST BEST-CECB199-54-606-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST CECB199-54 electrified hinge power an electric lock or exit device on a door with a card reader?
That is what the CE series is built for. The CECB199-54 carries current regardless of door position to electric locks, exit devices, or hold open devices, and it can also carry signal from a code reader on the door back to a remote computer for access control. It runs 4 wires, and it should be used along with a junction box to land the connections on the frame side.
2) Is 4 wires enough, or do I need a 6 or 8 wire electric hinge?
Four conductors covers a single powered device plus a basic monitoring or signal run. If you are powering an electric lock and also running a request-to-exit switch, latch monitor, and door position contact off the same opening, you will run out of conductors. For higher counts, ZenSupply carries the RCI 952 with 6-conductor wiring and the Detex EWH8 five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 x 4.5 with 8 wires. Count every device on the door leaf first, then pick the conductor count.
3) Do I replace all three hinges on the door with this electrified hinge?
No. Install one CECB199-54 in the center hinge location and leave the top and bottom hinges as standard hinges. Only the electrified one carries the wiring; running more than one adds cost and wire routing you do not need.
4) Are the wires exposed where someone could cut them?
No. With the CECB199-54 installed, no electrical parts are exposed, which is the reason to use a concealed electric hinge instead of a surface mounted power transfer on a secure opening. It also uses a permanent fast pin, so the pin does not pull for removal of the door.
5) Do I need a heavy duty electrified hinge like the BEST CECB199-54 for a standard weight interior office door?
The BEST CECB199-54 is rated heavy duty for commercial openings. On a standard weight interior door where the leaf load does not call for a heavy weight hinge, the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is an electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch rated medium duty, and the RCI 952 is also a medium duty electrified ball bearing hinge. Match the duty level to the door weight and traffic rather than defaulting up, but note the CECB199-54 uses a concealed bearing rather than an exposed ball bearing knuckle if appearance or tamper resistance matters on that opening.
6) What is the closest alternative to the BEST CECB199-54 if I need more than four conductors through the hinge?
The BEST CECB199-54 carries a 4-wire configuration through a five-knuckle full mortise concealed bearing hinge. When the opening needs more conductors - for example an electric lock plus a monitoring circuit and a separate reader run - the Detex EWH8 five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch carries 8 wires in a satin chrome finish, and the RCI 952 electrified hinge uses 6-conductor wiring with ball bearing construction. Count the circuits your access control design needs before choosing, since conductor count is the spec that cannot be worked around after the door is prepped.
7) What size and finishes does the BEST CECB199-54 electrified hinge come in?
One size, 4.5 x 4.5 inches, in two finishes: 606 satin brass and 630 satin stainless steel. Both are square corner. If your existing openings are prepped for a square corner 4.5 inch hinge, either finish drops into the same prep.
8) What comes in the box with the BEST CECB199-54, and what do I still have to buy?
Each hinge ships one per box with all machine screws and installation instructions. You supply the junction box for the frame side connections, the power supply matched to the device you are energizing, and the top and bottom hinges for the opening. Wiring should follow the manufacturer diagrams and applicable electrical code.
9) Is a concealed electric hinge or a power transfer hinge the right choice for my opening?
A concealed electric hinge like the CECB199-54 hides the conductors inside the hinge leaves so nothing is visible or reachable on the finished opening, which is what you want on a tamper sensitive door. If your priority is cycle life on a very high traffic opening rather than concealment, look at the SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges, rated for 800,000 cycles. Securitron also makes the EH double duty electric hinge.
10) Will this hinge work with a mortise lock, and is it a full mortise hinge?
Both. The CECB199-54 is a full mortise hinge, meaning it mortises into both the door edge and the frame rabbet rather than surface mounting, and it is set up to serve mortise type electric locks. It transfers power to the lock through the hinge so no wire crosses the gap at the door edge.
11) Is a power transfer device the same thing as the BEST CECB199-54 electrified hinge?
They solve the same problem differently. The BEST CECB199-54 is a full mortise hinge that carries the current itself, so it replaces a hinge in the existing hinge prep and conducts regardless of door position. The SDC PTH Series is a power transfer hinge line published with an 800,000 cycle rating, and the Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge. If your spec calls for an electric power transfer loop or through-frame device instead of a hinge, that is a different mounting prep entirely - confirm which the drawing shows before ordering, because a hinge-mounted transfer and a separate transfer device are not interchangeable in the same cutout.
12) For a high cycle entrance, how does the BEST CECB199-54 compare to the SDC PTH?
The BEST CECB199-54 is a heavy duty commercial concealed bearing hinge with no electrical parts exposed once installed, which is the reason it gets specified where tamper resistance is the driver. The SDC PTH Series is published with an 800,000 cycle rating, so if your procurement standard requires a stated cycle figure for a high traffic entrance, that is the one carrying it. Both are electrified transfer solutions; choose on whether your spec is written around a documented cycle count or around a concealed, tamper-proof hinge body.
13) I need a satin chrome electric hinge to match existing hardware - will the BEST CECB199-54 work?
The BEST CECB199-54 is offered in 606 satin brass and 630 satin stainless steel in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch. Satin stainless 630 is the common visual match alongside 626 satin chrome on most openings, but if the specification calls out 626 exactly, the Detex EWH8 five knuckle electric hinge is furnished in a satin chrome finish at the same 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch size, with 8 wires rather than 4.
14) Can I get this electrified hinge with hospital tips for a healthcare facility?
Yes, the CECB199-54 can be furnished with hospital tips, which is what most behavioral health and patient room specs call for to eliminate the ligature point at the hinge tips. Standard configuration is square corner.
15) Will stainless steel hold up in a humid or washdown environment?
The CECB199-54 uses stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, which is why it gets specified in kitchens, pool corridors, and coastal buildings where a plated steel hinge would rust at the knuckles. The 630 satin stainless finish is the usual pick for those areas; 606 satin brass is the match when the rest of the opening hardware is brass.
