Getting electricity from the frame to the door without visible wiring is one of the cleaner challenges in access control installation. Electrified hinges solve it by routing power directly through the hinge knuckle.
Surface-mounted wire transfers and conduit loops work, but they are visible and take damage over time from repeated door movement. Electrified door hinges keep the opening clean and the wiring protected inside the hinge itself.
Hotels, corporate offices and healthcare facilities are where electrified hinges are most often specified. Any project where the door opening is part of the interior design and exposed wiring is not acceptable.
Electrified hinges come in different configurations based on how many circuits need to pass through. The number depends on what the door hardware requires, whether that is power only or power plus signal for a request-to-exit device or door position switch.
Our selection of electrified door hinges covers the most common brands and circuit configurations so you can match the hinge to the hardware without compromise.
Exposed wire transfers get damaged over time from daily door movement. A hinge routes power internally and stays protected for the life of the door.
It varies by model. The number you need depends on how many devices on the door require power or signal, so map out your hardware before ordering.
No, typically just one or two in the set. The rest stay as standard hinges.
Hotels, corporate offices and healthcare facilities where exposed wiring on door openings is not acceptable from a design or durability standpoint.
Yes, multi-circuit models can carry power to the lock and a separate signal for a door position switch or request to exit device through the same hinge.
