Hager Hinge 17544P Full Mortise Spring Hinge Steel Prime Coat

Product Description

The HAGER HINGE 17544P is a full mortise residential spring hinge designed for standard door installations where automatic self-closing action is required. Measuring 4 inches by 4 inches with a 5/8-inch radius corner, this hinge is constructed from steel and finished in prime coat, making it ready for field painting to match the surrounding door hardware. It is installed directly into a mortise cut into both the door edge and the door frame jamb. Residential contractors, carpenters, and door hardware installers are the primary trades that work with this component.

This hinge is suited for residential interior and exterior door applications where a spring-loaded, self-closing mechanism is required without the use of a separate overhead closer. The prime coat finish accommodates job-site painting, which makes it a practical choice on new construction projects where finish color is determined after framing. The square-corner and radius-corner geometry at 5/8 inch matches common residential door prep standards. This item is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of two to ensure proper door function, as spring hinges are installed in pairs.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters or door hardware technicians using standard mortise chisels, a drill, and finish screws appropriate for the door and frame material. The door must be removed from the opening before mortising and hinge installation. Spring tension should be adjusted only with the appropriate spring hinge tension tool — never use pliers or screwdrivers directly on the spring coil. Install in pairs as required for proper door alignment and closing force.
