Product Description

The BEST 711068096 is a full mortise concealed hinge designed for commercial and residential door applications. Built from steel with a satin chrome finish, this 5-knuckle hinge features a non-removable stainless steel pin for added security. Both the door leaf and frame leaf measure 3.5 inches in height with a leaf thickness of 0.123 inches. Two ball bearings provide smooth, consistent swing operation over extended service life.

The satin chrome finish coordinates with US26D hardware finishes common in commercial office, institutional, and light industrial door assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial carpenter. The door and frame must be properly mortised to the correct depth before hinge seating to ensure flush alignment and prevent binding. Confirm the door is fully supported and stationary before fastening. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer fastener specifications when securing the hinge leaves.
