Hager Hinge 175243 Full Mortise Spring Hinge Steel Bright Brass

Product Description

The HAGER HINGE 175243 is a full mortise residential spring hinge designed for standard door installations where self-closing action is required. Built from steel with a Bright Brass finish, this hinge measures 4 inches x 4 inches with a 5/8-inch radius corner profile. The integrated spring mechanism provides controlled door closure without the need for a separate closer, making it a practical choice for interior residential applications. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters typically install this hinge as part of a complete door hardware package on pre-hung or site-hung door assemblies.

This hinge is suited for residential door applications where a self-closing function is needed, such as entry points between living spaces and garages, utility rooms, or other areas requiring code-compliant door closure. The full mortise design requires a routed recess in both the door edge and the frame, providing a flush, clean appearance once installed. It ships and must be ordered in multiples of 2 to ensure proper door function, as spring hinges are typically installed in pairs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation spring hinge for standard residential full mortise door applications requiring a 4 inches x 4 inches hinge with a 5/8-inch radius corner.

Installation Notes

Installation of full mortise spring hinges requires precise mortise routing on both the door edge and the door frame jamb; a sharp chisel and router are standard tools for this work. Power down or disengage any electronic access control hardware before servicing the door assembly. Spring tension on self-closing hinges should be adjusted carefully per the manufacturer's tension adjustment procedure to avoid injury from uncontrolled closure. This product is typically installed by a licensed carpenter, door hardware installer, or general contractor in compliance with applicable local building codes.
