BEST BEST-CEFBB199-56-605-4.5x4.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size and finishes does the BEST CEFBB199-56 electrified hinge come in?
The CEFBB199-56 is a 4.5 x 4.5 inch full mortise hinge with square corners, offered in two finishes: 605 Bright Brass and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. If you are matching existing openings, 630 satin stainless is the usual commercial choice and 605 is the polished brass look.
2) Will this hinge fit a frame prepped for square corner hinges, or do I need radius corners?
Square corners only. The CEFBB199-56 is a full mortise, five knuckle hinge with square corners, so it drops into a frame and door edge mortised square. A frame routed with the common 1/4 inch radius corner will need the corners squared off or a radius corner hinge instead.
3) How many wires do I actually need for a card reader plus an electric lock, and is 6 enough?
Six conductors run through the concealed conductor in the CEFBB199-56. That typically covers a powered lock or exit device plus monitoring or signal from a reader on the door. If your device count needs more than six, the Detex EWH8 Series electric hinge runs 8 wire in the same 4.5 x 4.5 size.
4) Is this hinge heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door, or is it a standard weight hinge?
Heavy duty, ball bearing, and rated commercial rather than residential. That puts it on high frequency openings like healthcare corridors, schools and office entries. If the opening is lighter duty, the Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 and the RCI 952 are both medium duty electrified ball bearing hinges in the same general class.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the BEST CEFBB199-56 if I need six conductors through the hinge?
The RCI 952 is the nearest match on conductor count: it is an electrified hinge with 6-conductor wiring and ball bearing construction, the same two defining traits as the CEFBB199-56, which carries 6 wires and ball bearing operation. The difference is duty level - the RCI 952 is listed as medium duty, while the BEST CEFBB199-56 is a heavy duty full mortise hinge. On a high-traffic or heavy door leaf, stay with the heavy duty BEST; on a lighter interior opening, the RCI 952 covers the same six circuits.
6) I need more than six circuits through the door - what do I use instead of the CEFBB199-56?
Step up to the Detex EWH8, a five knuckle electric hinge in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch with 8 wire in a satin chrome finish. The BEST CEFBB199-56 carries 6 wires, so if your access control head end needs eight conductors - for example a reader, a strike, a monitoring contact and a request-to-exit all on one leaf - the EWH8 gives you the extra pair at the same 4.5 x 4.5 hinge size and the same five knuckle configuration.
7) Where in the door does an electrified power transfer hinge get installed?
Center hinge location. The CEFBB199-56 is installed as the middle hinge using the manufacturer templates for the mortise prep, with the wiring routed through the concealed conductor to a junction box in the frame. The other two hinges on the opening stay standard mechanical hinges.
8) Can I use this hinge instead of running an electric power transfer or door loop on the edge of the door?
Yes, that is the point of it. The concealed conductor carries current regardless of door position, with no exposed electrical parts once installed, so there is no armored loop hanging on the hinge edge to cut or tamper with. An edge mounted power transfer is the alternative when you cannot swap the center hinge or need more conductors than six.
9) What comes in the box with the CEFBB199-56, and what do I still need to buy?
It ships with the concealed conductor, all machine screws, and installation instructions. You supply the junction box for the frame side electrical termination, the power supply, and the lock, exit device or reader being powered. The pin is a permanent fast pin, so there is no removable pin option on this hinge.
10) Does this hinge work with mortise locks and exit devices, or only with electric strikes?
It feeds power to whatever is on the door leaf: electric locks including electrified mortise locks, exit devices, and electromagnetic hold-open devices, plus signal back from a reader mounted on the door. The hinge itself is a full mortise type; it only transfers current, it does not latch anything.
11) Is there a lighter-duty electrified ball bearing hinge for a standard interior office door?
The Design Hardware ETW2-BB5 is a 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch electrified standard weight ball bearing hinge in the BB5 series, listed as medium duty. It matches the BEST CEFBB199-56 on size and on ball bearing operation, but the BEST is a heavy duty full mortise hinge built for high-traffic commercial openings. For a standard-weight interior office leaf the medium duty ETW2-BB5 is the lighter-weight counterpart; for an exterior or heavy fire-rated leaf carrying a mortise lock and closer, specify the heavy duty CEFBB199-56.
12) My spec sheet calls out a cycle-tested power transfer hinge - does the BEST CEFBB199-56 meet that, or do I need a different part?
If the drawing calls for a published cycle figure, look at the SDC PTH series, which is specified as electrified power transfer hinges with an 800,000 cycle rating. The BEST CEFBB199-56 is specified instead by construction: heavy duty, full mortise, five knuckle ball bearing with a concealed conductor carrying 6 wires. Both transfer power from frame to door without exposed wiring; the PTH series is what to submit when the spec language is written around a cycle count.
13) How does the Securitron EH compare to the BEST CEFBB199-56 for an access control opening?
Both are electric hinges that pass current from the frame into the door leaf. The Securitron EH is the Double Duty electric hinge in the EH series. The BEST CEFBB199-56 is a full mortise, square corner, five knuckle ball bearing hinge with a concealed conductor carrying 6 wires, offered in 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch in 605 bright brass and 630 satin stainless steel. If your frame is already prepped for a square corner 4.5 x 4.5 mortise hinge and the finish has to match 605 or 630 hardware elsewhere on the job, the CEFBB199-56 drops into that prep.
14) Can I use a standard ball bearing hinge instead of the CEFBB199-56 and run the wire separately?
Not as a like-for-like swap. The BEST CEFBB199-56 is an electrified hinge - its concealed conductor carries the 6 wires through the knuckle so there are no exposed electrical parts once installed. A plain ball bearing hinge has no conductor path at all. If you want power transfer handled as a dedicated device rather than inside the mortise hinge itself, the SDC PTH series is built as an electrified power transfer hinge; among electrified hinges, the RCI 952 offers the same 6-conductor wiring with ball bearing construction.
15) What electrified hinge should I look at if I need a published cycle rating for a spec?
The SDC PTH Series electrified power transfer hinge is the one in this category we carry with a stated 800,000 cycle rating, so it is the easier fit when the submittal calls for a cycle number. The BEST CEFBB199-56 is specified as a heavy duty commercial ball bearing electrified hinge.
