BEST BEST-RD2068R-633-3.5x3.5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will BEST RD2068R spring hinges hold a fire door closed on a 3-hour rated opening?
Yes. The RD2068R meets NFPA-80 for 3-hour fire doors, and in the 4-1/2 inch size it is UL listed for doors up to 4' x 8' (1219 x 2438mm). That covers labeled stairwell and fire-rated corridor doors where a self-closing device is required by code. Smaller sizes are sold for lighter openings, but the 4' x 8' listing is tied specifically to the 4-1/2 inch hinge, so spec that size if the door is at the top of the range.
2) What size spring hinge do I need for my door, and how many?
BEST offers the RD2068R in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2, 4 x 4, 4-1/2 x 4, and 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch. The range covers doors from 2'8" x 7' up to 4' x 8', with the larger 4-1/2 inch hinge carrying the biggest openings. Hinge leaf size follows door width and thickness, so match what is already mortised into the frame if you are replacing rather than cutting new prep.
3) Can I use spring hinges instead of an overhead door closer on apartment and hotel doors?
That is exactly what the RD2068R is for. It is a self-closing hinge for medium duty commercial openings, and BEST positions it as an alternative to overhead mounted closers on standard weight doors. Nothing mounts on the face of the door or the frame, so there is no closer body to hit, paint around, or vandalize, which is why it shows up on hotel guest rooms, apartment unit entries, and multi-tenant residential corridors. For a heavy, high-traffic entrance or a door needing controlled backcheck and delayed action, an overhead closer is still the right call.
4) Is a SOSS invisible spring closer hinge a substitute for the BEST RD2068R?
No. The RD2068R is a full mortise spring hinge with three knuckles and a removable pin, visible on the edge of the door. The SOSS 216IC, 218IC and 220IC are invisible spring closer hinges that mortise fully into the door edge and frame and disappear when the door is closed, and all three are heavy duty rather than medium duty. The 218IC is a 7 inch hinge requiring a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness and the 220IC is a 7 inch hinge requiring a 2 inch minimum door thickness, so the door itself has to be thick enough to take the pocket. They are a different prep entirely, not a drop-in for a mortised butt hinge cutout.
5) How do you adjust the closing power on a BEST RD2068R spring hinge?
Closing tension is set with an internal ratchet mechanism, and it adjusts both up and down, so you can back tension off if the door slams or add it if the door is not latching. There are no loose adjustment pins to lose during the work. Tension is normally shared across the hinges on the opening, so set them together rather than loading one hinge.
6) Does the RD2068R spring hinge have a removable pin, and can the door be taken off without unscrewing the hinges?
The pin is removable on the RD2068R, so the door leaf separates from the frame leaf without backing out the wood or machine screws. That matters on turnover work and on fire door inspections where a door has to come out and go back on the same prep. It is a three knuckle hinge on a plain bearing, which is the standard-weight construction for medium duty commercial doors.
7) Which finish should I order to match the other hinges in my building?
Seven finishes are available on the RD2068R: 600 primed for painting, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel, 632 bright brass on steel, 633 satin brass on steel, 639 satin bronze on steel, and 652 satin chrome on steel. Every one of those is offered in all four sizes, so you can standardize a finish across a whole building and still spec the right leaf size door by door. 630 is the usual match for satin stainless lever trim, 652 for satin chrome, and 600 is what you want when the hinges get painted with the frame.
8) Should I get steel or stainless steel spring hinges?
Both are offered on the RD2068R. The stainless options are the 629 bright and 630 satin stainless finishes, and they are the ones to use where moisture, cleaning chemicals, or coastal air are in play, such as pool corridors, kitchens, and healthcare. The brass, bronze, and chrome finishes are plated over steel, and the 600 is primed steel for field painting. Interior corridors and guest room doors do fine on steel.
9) I need a self-closing hinge but the door can't have visible hinges. What are my options?
A full mortise spring hinge like the RD2068R shows knuckles on the edge of the door, so it is not the part for a concealed application. For that, the SOSS invisible spring closer hinges hide entirely in the door and jamb: the 216IC and 220IC series carry a 20 minute fire rating, and the 218IC is a 7 inch heavy duty unit needing at least 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Note the tradeoff, those are 20 minute rated where the RD2068R meets NFPA-80 for 3-hour fire doors, so a stairwell or 90 minute labeled opening still needs the mortise spring hinge.
10) Is the BEST RD2068R a double action hinge for a door that swings both ways?
No. The RD2068R is a single action full mortise spring hinge, it closes the door in one direction only. For a door that swings both ways, like a cafe or kitchen pass door, you want a double action product such as the Deltana DASHS double action saloon hinge, offered in 4, 5, and 6 inch heights, or the Deltana DASH95 double action spring hinge with solid brass cover plates.
11) Is a spring hinge enough for a heavy commercial entrance door?
Not by itself. The RD2068R is a standard weight, medium duty hinge, and it is sized for the doors named in its rating range, up to 4' x 8' in the 4-1/2 inch size. High-frequency main entrances, heavy solid core doors with wide throws, or anything needing controlled sweep speed belong on an overhead closer with heavy weight bearing hinges. Keep the spring hinge on guest rooms, apartment entries, offices, and labeled stairwell doors where positive latching is the requirement.
12) Is there a simpler spring hinge option for a 3-1/2 inch residential style opening than the BEST RD2068R?
The RD2068R is a commercial medium duty hinge and is made in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch. Lighter alternatives in that size include the Emtek 95013, sold as a pair in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch with square corners in plated steel and UL listed, and the Deltana DSH35R4 and DSH35R4-A single action spring hinges in 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch steel with a 1/4 inch radius. Match the corner cut to the existing mortise: the Emtek is square, the Deltana pair is 1/4 inch radius, and the RD2068R is 5/8 inch radius.
13) I need self closing hinges for toilet partition doors. Will the BEST RD2068R work?
The RD2068R is a commercial full mortise spring hinge sized 3-1/2 inch through 4-1/2 inch for swinging doors, not a partition hinge. For toilet partitions, Pemko builds spring loaded continuous hinges rated to 80 pounds: the Markar FM400 and FM900 Series in full mortise form, the FS402 Series, and the FS902 Series in 304 stainless steel. A continuous hinge runs the height of the partition door and carries the leaf along its full length rather than at three hinge points.
14) What is the difference between the BEST RD2068R and the Hager 1150 and 1250 spring hinges?
All three are standard weight, medium duty full mortise spring hinges. The RD2068R is built with plain bearing construction, three knuckles, a removable pin and 5/8 inch radius corners, in sizes from 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch up to 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch. The Hager 1150 is a standard weight stainless steel full mortise spring hinge and the Hager 1250 is the standard weight steel construction version, which is the material split that also runs through the RD2068R finish range - 629 and 630 stainless, 600, 632, 633, 639 and 652 on steel.
15) What is the difference between the Orca 4058 and 4058Z spring hinges when cross referencing a 5/8 inch radius spring hinge?
Both Orca Hardware hinges are 4 inch by 4 inch with a 5/8 inch radius corner, medium duty, and both match the 5/8 inch radius corner cut used on the BEST RD2068R. The 4058 Series uses the standard hole pattern and the SPR4058 Series version is the Z hole pattern, so check the existing screw hole layout in the door and frame before ordering one over the other.
16) Do I need to order spring hinges in pairs, or is one enough per door?
The RD2068R is a single action full mortise hinge sold by the size and finish combination, and a door normally gets all its hinges replaced together so the closing tension is shared evenly. On a standard 7 foot commercial door that means three hinges per opening, with at least two of them spring hinges on a fire rated door so the door self-closes and latches on its own. Order enough to fill every hinge location on the frame rather than mixing spring and plain hinges unevenly.
17) Is the BEST RD2068R rated for residential use or commercial only?
Commercial. The RD2068R is built and rated as a commercial medium duty spring hinge, and its listed applications are offices, schools, healthcare, hotels, and multi-tenant residential buildings rather than single family homes. It will physically work on a residential door with matching prep, but you are paying for a commercial hinge. For lighter residential work, the Emtek 95013 UL listed spring hinges come as a pair in 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 with square corners in plated steel, and Deltana's DSH35R4 is a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 steel single action spring hinge with a 1/4 inch radius.
