BEST BEST-CEFBB199-10-626-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many wires does the BEST CEFBB199-10 electrified hinge carry, and is that enough for a card reader plus an electric lock?
Ten concealed conductors run through the CEFBB199-10. That is enough to power an electric lock or exit device on one pair of conductors and still carry reader signal, door position monitoring, and latch status back to the panel on the rest. If your opening only needs power to a strike or mag lock, an 8-wire hinge like the Detex EWH8 or a 6-conductor unit like the RCI 952 covers it; the 10-wire is for openings where the door leaf itself carries a reader or monitored lockset.
2) What size and finish does the BEST CEFBB199-10 hinge come in?
It is sold in one configuration: 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches with square corners in 626 satin chrome. That is the standard commercial hinge size for a 1-3/4 inch door, so it drops into typical mortised hinge prep. If your existing hinges have radius (rounded) corners, the square corner prep will not match and the frame or door pocket would need work.
3) Where in the door does an electrified hinge get installed, and do I replace all three hinges?
Only one hinge in the opening needs to be electrified, and it goes in the center hinge location. Your existing top and bottom hinges stay. The CEFBB199-10 is a full mortise hinge with five knuckles, so it seats in the same mortise pocket as a conventional full mortise hinge of the same size; you still have to drill the raceway from the hinge pocket to the lock or exit device and to a junction box at the frame side.
4) Is there a standard weight electrified hinge in the same 4.5 x 4.5 size as the BEST CEFBB199-10?
Yes. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a 4.5 x 4.5 inch electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in the BB5 series, rated medium duty. The BEST CEFBB199-10 is the heavy duty, heavy weight full mortise version in the same 4.5 x 4.5 size, so on a hollow metal door of ordinary weight and traffic the standard weight hinge is dimensionally interchangeable while the CEFBB199-10 is the one specified for heavier leaves and high-cycle openings.
5) What is the closest alternative to the BEST CEFBB199-10 if a job only needs 8 conductors instead of 10?
The BEST CEFBB199-10 carries 10 concealed wires in a 4.5 x 4.5 inch five-knuckle full mortise electrified hinge. If the access control run only needs eight conductors, the Detex EWH8 is a five-knuckle electric hinge in the same 4.5 x 4.5 inch size with 8 wires and a satin chrome finish, which matches the 626 satin chrome the CEFBB199-10 is offered in.
6) Which electrified hinge should I use if the opening only needs six conductors for a single electric strike?
The RCI 952 is an electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction, rated medium duty. The BEST CEFBB199-10 is a heavy duty ball bearing hinge with 10 concealed conductors, so it is the choice where a door carries several devices at once - an electric lock plus a request-to-exit switch plus a card reader signal - while the 952 covers a simpler single-device run.
7) Is the wiring on the CEFBB199-10 exposed when the door is open?
No. It is a concealed conductor hinge, so the wire run is inside the hinge and nothing is visible or reachable when the door swings. Current passes regardless of door position, and the pin is a permanent fast pin, which means the hinge cannot be pulled apart from the secure side. That combination is why it is specified on high security and detention-adjacent openings rather than an exposed door loop.
8) Does the CEFBB199-10 come with mounting screws, or do I need to order them separately?
Machine screws and installation instructions ship with the hinge, so nothing extra is needed to hang it. What is not included is anything on the electrical side: you supply the power transfer junction box at the frame, the low voltage cable back to the panel, and whatever the lock or exit device manufacturer specifies for connections.
9) Should I use an electrified hinge or an electric power transfer for getting power into a door?
An electrified hinge like the CEFBB199-10 replaces a hinge you already have, so there is no extra device on the frame and nothing exposed at the hinge edge. It is the cleaner choice when the door is already hung on standard 4-1/2 inch full mortise hinges and you can drill a raceway. A separate electric power transfer or door loop is what you fall back on when the hinges are continuous geared, pivot hung, or the hinge locations are inaccessible. Other hinge-style transfers we carry include the SDC PTH Series and the Securitron EH.
10) What electrified hinge has a published cycle rating if my spec calls one out?
The SDC PTH series electrified power transfer hinges are published with an 800,000 cycle rating, so that is the one to cite when a drawing calls for a cycle-tested power transfer. The BEST CEFBB199-10 is specified instead by construction: heavy duty full mortise ball bearing, five knuckles, brass and bronze, with permanent fast pin and 10 concealed conductors.
11) Can I use a Securitron EH in place of the BEST CEFBB199-10?
The Securitron EH is a double duty electric hinge in the EH series and is a functional peer for passing current across the gap. Before you swap, confirm three things against the BEST CEFBB199-10 it is replacing: the 4.5 x 4.5 inch leaf size with square corners so the existing mortise in door and frame is reused, the 626 satin chrome finish to match the balance of the hinges, and that the conductor count covers every device on the door, since the CEFBB199-10 supplies 10.
12) What looks like a substitute for the BEST CEFBB199-10 but will not work on a heavy commercial door?
Watch the weight rating rather than the size. The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 and the RCI 952 are both medium duty electrified ball bearing hinges, and the ETW2-BB5 is the same 4.5 x 4.5 inch leaf, so they will fit an existing mortise and still not be the right specification where a heavy weight hinge was called for. The BEST CEFBB199-10 is the heavy duty commercial hinge, and its 10 conductors also exceed what those two carry.
13) If I am standardizing electrified hinges across a facility, what makes the BEST CEFBB199-10 the broader choice over the 6- and 8-wire options?
Conductor count sets the ceiling on how many devices one door can support. The BEST CEFBB199-10 provides 10 concealed conductors, against 8 on the Detex EWH8 and 6 on the RCI 952. Standardizing on the 10-wire hinge means the same part covers a plain electric strike today and a door with an electric lock, monitoring, and a reader signal later without changing the mortise prep, since all three are 4.5 x 4.5 inch hinges.
14) What can the BEST CEFBB199-10 actually power on the door?
Electric locks, electrified exit devices, and electric hold open devices all run through it, and the spare conductors carry signal from card readers or code readers mounted on the door back to the access control panel. Ten conductors is the count that lets one hinge handle both power and monitoring on the same opening instead of requiring a second transfer point.
