BEST BEST-CECSFBB199-58LH-613-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the BEST CECSFBB199-58 electrified hinge need to be ordered handed?
Yes, handing has to be specified. The CECSFBB199-58 comes left-handed or right-handed, both in a 4.5 x 4.5 inch size with the 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed finish. Determine the swing at the opening before you order; an electrified hinge is not reversible in the field the way a plain butt hinge is, because the wire exit and switch are cut for one hand.
2) What does the 8-wire configuration on this BEST electrified hinge get me over a 6-wire hinge?
Eight conductors give you enough separate circuits to run an electrified lock or strike and still have pairs left for request-to-exit, latch monitoring, or a card reader feed through the same hinge. A 6-conductor hinge such as the RCI 952 covers a simpler job, typically power plus one monitoring circuit. If your access control drawing calls out more than two devices at the door leaf, the 8-wire CECSFBB199-58 is the one that carries them.
3) Is the concealed switch in the CECSFBB199-58 a door position switch I can tie to an alarm?
It is. The built-in concealed switch is a single pole double throw contact that changes state as the door opens or closes, so you can wire it to an alarm panel, a monitoring point, or other security equipment. It saves cutting the frame for a separate recessed door contact, and because it sits inside the hinge there is nothing exposed to tamper with.
4) Where in the door does an electrified power transfer hinge like this get installed?
Standard practice is the center hinge position on a three-hinge opening, with the top and bottom hinges left as plain butts. That keeps the wire run short and away from the closer arm. The CECSFBB199-58 is a full mortise hinge with square corners, so both the door edge and the frame rabbet need square-corner mortises cut to match; it does not drop into a radius-corner prep without rework.
5) What is the closest 8-wire electric hinge equivalent to the BEST CECSFBB199-58?
The Detex EWH8 is the nearest match on wire count and size: it is a five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with 8 wire, the same wire count and leaf size the CECSFBB199-58 carries. The main differences are finish and switching. The Detex comes in satin chrome, while the BEST is supplied in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, and the BEST ships with a concealed conductor plus a concealed switch for door position monitoring, so if the access control drawing calls for a monitored hinge rather than power transfer alone, the BEST covers both in one leaf.
6) I only need to get power to an electric strike or lock, not monitor the door. Is there a simpler electrified hinge than the CECSFBB199-58?
Yes. The CECSFBB199-58 carries 8 wires and includes a concealed switch for signaling door open or closed, which is more than a straight power transfer job needs. The RCI 952 is an electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction, and the SDC PTH Series is built specifically as an electrified power transfer hinge. Either handles feeding a strike or electrified lockset without the extra conductors and switch circuit you would be terminating on the BEST.
7) Is the Securitron EH a direct replacement for the BEST CECSFBB199-58?
Not a like-for-like swap. The Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge and will transfer power through the opening, but the BEST CECSFBB199-58 pairs an 8-wire concealed conductor with a concealed switch, so it also reports door open or closed back to an alarm or access control panel. If the existing hinge on the door was doing monitoring duty, replacing it with a power-transfer-only hinge leaves that circuit dead. Check the panel terminations for a door position pair before substituting.
8) What electrified hinge should I use if I need more than six conductors through the door?
Conductor count is the deciding spec. The RCI 952 is a 6-conductor electrified hinge, which covers a strike plus a simple monitoring pair but runs out if you are also feeding a request-to-exit device, a latch bolt monitor, and a motorized lock. The BEST CECSFBB199-58 carries 8 wires, and the Detex EWH8 is likewise an 8 wire hinge. For multi-function electrified mortise locks, count the leads on the lock cut sheet first, then pick the hinge that carries them with a spare pair.
9) Is this BEST hinge heavy enough for a high-traffic entry door?
It is built as a heavy duty commercial hinge with a five-knuckle full mortise body and ball bearings in the knuckles, which is the configuration used on high-frequency openings and heavier door leafs. Medium duty electrified hinges, like the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 or the RCI 952, are the lighter class and suit interior office or apartment doors rather than a main entrance.
10) What comes in the box with the CECSFBB199-58, and what else do I have to buy to finish the door?
The hinge ships with the concealed conductor and concealed switch built in, plus mounting screws and installation instructions. What it does not include is the rest of the opening: the two plain butt hinges for the top and bottom positions, the low voltage power supply, and whatever device you are feeding (electric strike, electrified lock, reader). Size the supply for all eight conductors before you energize.
11) Should I use an electrified hinge or a separate door loop for power transfer?
A concealed conductor hinge keeps the whole transfer inside the door and frame, so nothing is visible or reachable when the door is shut. That matters on healthcare, detention-adjacent, school, and government openings where a surface door cord invites tampering. The tradeoff is prep: you have to mortise the door and frame and pull the wire into the frame before the hinge goes on, whereas a surface loop mounts after the fact. If the opening is already hung and you cannot get into the frame, a loop is the practical route.
12) Can I swap a plain 4.5 x 4.5 ball bearing butt hinge for this electrified one without redoing the door prep?
If the existing hinges are 4.5 x 4.5 inch full mortise with square corners, the CECSFBB199-58 lands in the same mortise footprint. The added work is electrical, not carpentry: you need a wire path out of the frame side at the center hinge location and the conductors routed to your power supply and panel. Radius-corner preps are the exception, since this hinge has square corners.
13) The BEST CECSFBB199-58 is heavy duty. What electrified hinge fits a lighter interior office door instead?
The CECSFBB199-58 is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge, sized for high-traffic commercial openings. For a lighter interior leaf, 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. Both keep the ball bearing action but are built to a standard weight rather than heavy weight leaf.
14) Which electrified hinge is rated for the highest cycle count compared with the BEST CECSFBB199-58?
The SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges carry an 800,000 cycle rating, which is the published cycle figure among the common electrified hinge options. The BEST CECSFBB199-58 is specified as heavy duty with ball bearing construction for high-traffic commercial use, and it differs from the SDC in that it adds a concealed switch for door position signaling alongside its 8-wire concealed conductor. For a stairwell or main entry where cycle life is the governing number, the SDC PTH is the one to spec; where the opening also needs monitoring, the BEST does both jobs in one hinge.
15) Do the alternatives to the BEST CECSFBB199-58 come in a bronze finish?
The CECSFBB199-58 is supplied in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. Among the common electrified hinge alternatives, the Detex EWH8 in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch is listed in a satin chrome finish, so it will not blend with bronze butts already hung on adjacent doors. If the rest of the openings in the building are running 613, staying with the BEST keeps the hinge line consistent without a separate finish order.
16) Will the 613 finish on this electrified hinge match the rest of my bronze door hardware?
The CECSFBB199-58 is furnished in 613, satin bronze oil-rubbed (also catalogued as satin bronze dark), on a bronze hinge body. That is the standard oil-rubbed bronze number used across commercial door hardware, so it lines up with locks, closers, and exit trim ordered in 613. If your building standard is satin chrome, a bronze hinge will read noticeably darker at the door edge.
17) Where do I find the wiring diagram and mortise template for this BEST electric hinge?
BEST publishes three documents that cover it: the 5 Knuckle Full Mortise Hinges sheet for the electric hinge itself, a General Hinge Information document, and a hinge installation instruction sheet with the mounting template. Pull the electric hinge sheet before you cut the frame, since the conductor exit location has to be set during prep, not after.
