BEST BEST-CECSFBB191-58LH-630-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the BEST CECSFBB191-58 electrified hinge have to be ordered by hand?
Yes, handing is part of the order. The CECSFBB191-58 is built left-handed or right-handed, and both are offered in a 4.5 x 4.5 inch size. Determine the swing at the opening before you order, because a concealed-switch electrified hinge cannot be flipped in the field the way a plain full mortise hinge can.
2) What size and hinge prep does the CECSFBB191-58 need in the door and frame?
It is a 4.5 by 4.5 inch full mortise, five knuckle hinge with square corners, so it drops into standard square-corner 4-1/2 inch hinge prep in the door edge and frame. Rounded-corner prep would need to be squared or shimmed.
3) What do the 8 wires in this BEST electrified hinge actually do?
The eight conductors run concealed through the hinge to carry power and signal across the gap from frame to door, and they also serve the built-in concealed switch. Eight gives you enough circuits to feed an electric lock or strike and still bring back monitoring, which is why integrators use it instead of a 4-wire transfer when the door has both a locking device and a position input.
4) Can this hinge report door position back to an access control panel?
That is what the CS concealed switch is for. It is a single pole double throw switch that signals whether the door is open or closed, so it can drive an alarm, a monitoring input, or other security equipment without a surface door contact on the frame head. Nothing electrical shows once the hinge is installed, which is why it gets specified where a magnetic contact would be tampered with.
5) What is the closest 8-wire electrified hinge to the BEST CECSFBB191-58 from another brand?
The Detex EWH8 is the nearest match: a five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with 8 wire, offered in satin chrome. The BEST CECSFBB191-58 is also a 5 knuckle hinge with 8 wires in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch, and it is offered in 652 satin chrome as well as 640 satin bronze dark. The difference to weigh is the concealed switch: the CECSFBB191-58 carries a concealed single pole double throw switch for door position monitoring in addition to the concealed conductor, so if you need monitoring built into the hinge rather than just power transfer, that is the deciding feature.
6) I only need to pass power to an electric lock, not monitor the door. What is a simpler option than the CECSFBB191-58?
If the opening only needs conductors carried across to an electric strike, lock or exit device, a straight power transfer hinge does the job without the switch circuit. The SDC PTH Series is an electrified power transfer hinge rated for 800,000 cycles, and the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is an electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch at medium duty. The CECSFBB191-58 adds a concealed single pole double throw switch on top of its concealed conductor, which is what you would be paying for and not using.
7) My access control device only needs six conductors. Do I have to buy an 8-wire hinge?
No. The RCI 952 is an electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction at medium duty, which covers openings where the lock and monitoring loop together need no more than six conductors. The BEST CECSFBB191-58 carries 8 wires, which gives you spare conductors for future devices or a separate monitoring circuit. Count the conductors your device schedule calls for, add any spares your spec requires, and pick accordingly.
8) The door is a high-traffic entrance. Is the CECSFBB191-58 the right electrified hinge, or should I step up?
The BEST CECSFBB191-58 is a standard weight, medium duty full mortise ball bearing hinge, which suits normal commercial traffic. For an opening that sees constant cycling, the SDC PTH Series carries an 800,000 cycle rating and the Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge. If the leaf is heavy or the traffic is continuous, those are the ones to price out; if it is an office, classroom or tenant door, the medium duty CECSFBB191-58 is in its intended range.
9) Which hinge location should the electrified BEST hinge go in on the door?
Center position. BEST specifies the CECSFBB191-58 for the center hinge location, with standard hinges top and bottom. Putting the powered hinge in the middle keeps the wire run shortest and out of the weather line, and it matches the frame wire prep most installers already drill at the center leaf.
10) Is this hinge heavy duty enough for a high traffic entry?
It is a standard weight, medium duty ball bearing hinge built for commercial openings. For a heavy or constantly cycled door, step up rather than specifying this one. Among electrified options, the SDC PTH Series power transfer hinges carry an 800,000 cycle rating, and the Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge.
11) Does the BEST electrified hinge come with mounting screws?
Yes. It ships one hinge per box with screws and installation instructions. The 8-wire leads and the concealed switch are part of the hinge itself, but the power supply, wire from the frame back to the panel, and any connectors for the run are separate.
12) Can I use one CECSFBB191-58 hinge on its own or do I need a full set?
One hinge does the electrical work. It is sold individually and installed as the center hinge, so you pair it with conventional ball bearing hinges at the top and bottom of the same leaf. Match those to the same 4.5 by 4.5 inch square corner size and finish so the door hangs true.
13) Will a Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 substitute for the BEST CECSFBB191-58 on a monitored door?
Not on a door that is monitored through the hinge. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is an electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch, medium duty, and it looks like a direct swap on size and weight class. What it does not replace is the concealed switch in the BEST CECSFBB191-58, whose single pole double throw switch reports door position to alarms or monitoring equipment. If the CECSFBB191-58 is feeding a monitoring input, you would need a separate door position switch alongside the ETW2-BB5.
14) Which electrified hinges come in a dark bronze finish rather than chrome?
The BEST CECSFBB191-58 is offered in 640 satin bronze dark as well as 652 satin chrome, both in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch and in left and right hand. Among the comparable electrified hinges, the Detex EWH8 is listed in satin chrome. If the rest of the hardware on the opening is dark bronze and you want the hinge to match, the 640 CECSFBB191-58 is the one to specify.
15) What finishes does the BEST CECSFBB191-58 come in?
Two steel finishes are built: 640 Satin Bronze Dark and 652 Satin Chrome, each in left and right hand. If the rest of the openings are US26D chrome hardware, the 652 is the match; 640 is the oil rubbed bronze look for dark hardware suites.
