BEST BEST-CEFBB191-66-630-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size and finish does the BEST CEFBB191-66 electrified hinge come in?
The CEFBB191-66 is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch hinge in 630 satin stainless steel. It has square corners, so it drops into a standard square-corner mortise prep rather than a radius-corner one. If your existing leaves are radius corner or a different leaf size, the prep will not line up.
2) How many wires does the BEST CEFBB191-66 concealed conductor hinge carry, and what gauges?
Six conductors: two at 24 AWG and four at 28 AWG. The heavier 24 AWG pair is what you would normally run power on for an electric lock or exit device, with the 28 AWG conductors left for low-current signal, monitoring, or request-to-exit. If your device needs more than six conductors, this hinge will not cover the run.
3) Where in the door should an electrified hinge like the CEFBB191-66 be installed?
Install it in the center hinge position and leave the top and bottom hinges as standard non-electrified leaves. That keeps the conductor away from the heaviest bearing load and puts the wire transfer at roughly lock height for the shortest run into the door. You still need a junction box in the frame for the field connections.
4) Is one CEFBB191-66 enough, or do I need to buy three hinges for the door?
One electrified hinge handles the power transfer, but a commercial door still needs its full complement of hinges. Order the CEFBB191-66 for the center position and standard ball bearing hinges of the same 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 size and 630 finish for the remaining positions so the leaves match. The electrified hinge ships with its machine screws and installation instructions.
5) What are the alternatives to the BEST CEFBB191-66 if I need a different wire count or finish?
If you need more conductors, the Detex EWH8 Series five knuckle electric hinge is a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 eight wire unit in satin chrome. For a like-for-like six conductor ball bearing swap, the RCI 952 is a medium duty six conductor electrified hinge. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is another 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge at the same medium duty class. Securitron's EH Double Duty electric hinge and the SDC PTH Series power transfer hinges are the other electrified hinge lines carried.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the BEST CEFBB191-66 if I need another 6-wire electrified ball bearing hinge?
The RCI 952 is the closest match. It is an electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction, rated medium duty, which lines up with the BEST CEFBB191-66's 6-wire concealed conductor, ball bearing design and medium duty rating. Confirm the size you need matches the 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch the BEST is supplied in before ordering either one.
7) I need more than six conductors through the door - what should I use instead of the CEFBB191-66?
The BEST CEFBB191-66 carries 6 wires (2 at 24AWG, 4 at 28AWG). If your access control, electric lock and monitoring circuits need more conductors, the Detex EWH8 is a five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch with 8 wires, in a satin chrome finish rather than the 630 satin stainless the BEST is supplied in.
8) Will the power stay connected while the door is swinging, or only when it is closed?
Current passes through regardless of door position, so an electric lock, electrified exit device, or electromagnetic hold-open stays powered through the full swing. That also means a card reader mounted on the door leaf can send signal back continuously.
9) Is the wiring on this BEST hinge exposed where someone could tamper with it?
No. The conductors run inside the hinge, and no electrical parts are visible once it is mortised into the door and frame. That is the main reason to choose a concealed conductor hinge over a surface-mounted electric power transfer or an armored door loop, which both leave hardware on the face of the opening.
10) Is the CEFBB191-66 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is a standard weight, medium duty ball bearing hinge built for commercial openings. For an interior office, classroom, or tenant door carrying an access control lock it is the right class. For a heavy exterior leaf, a wide door, or a high-cycle entrance, step up to a heavy weight electrified hinge or a continuous geared hinge with a power transfer instead.
11) What electronic hardware can I run through the BEST CEFBB191-66?
It feeds electric locks, electrified exit devices, and electromagnetic hold-open devices, and it carries signal from a door-mounted code reader back to a controller or head-end. What it will not do is exceed six conductors, so tally your device's conductor count before you commit.
12) Is there a simpler electrified ball bearing hinge in the same 4.5 inch size as the BEST CEFBB191-66?
The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge from the BB5 series, rated medium duty like the BEST CEFBB191-66. The BEST unit is a full mortise five knuckle hinge with a concealed conductor pathway so no electrical parts are exposed once installed; match the conductor count you need against your wiring schedule before choosing.
13) For a high traffic opening, is there an electrified hinge with a published cycle rating instead of the CEFBB191-66?
The SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinges carry an 800,000 cycle rating, which is useful when a facility standard calls for a stated cycle figure. The BEST CEFBB191-66 is a medium duty commercial full mortise ball bearing hinge with square corners and a 6-wire concealed conductor. Securitron's EH Double Duty electric hinge is another option where a heavier rated unit is wanted.
14) Are power transfer hinges like the SDC PTH a direct drop-in for the BEST CEFBB191-66?
Not automatically. The SDC PTH Series is a power transfer hinge line and the Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge, and neither is stated in the same 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch square corner full mortise five knuckle form the BEST CEFBB191-66 ships in. Treat them as alternates that need their own hinge prep and conductor count checked against your door, not as a swap into an existing CEFBB191-66 mortise.
15) How many knuckles does this BEST electrified hinge have and does that matter for matching my other doors?
Five knuckles, full mortise, square corner. If the rest of the openings in the building run five knuckle 4-1/2 inch ball bearing hinges in 630, this will sit in line visually with them, which is usually the deciding point for a property manager standardizing a floor. A three knuckle or radius corner set will not match.
