Hager Hinge RC1842426EA58 Full Mortise Hinge 4x4 Bright Chrome

Product Description

The HAGER HINGE RC1842426EA58 is a full mortise residential plain bearing hinge finished in bright chrome. It is designed for standard interior and light-duty exterior door installations where a clean, polished appearance is required. The hinge measures 4 inches x 4 inches with a 5/8-inch radius corner profile, making it compatible with pre-routed mortise door frames. At 1.05 pounds, it is sized for single-door residential applications and is sold individually. Licensed contractors and experienced finish carpenters typically handle installation on pre-hung and custom door assemblies.

This hinge is suited for residential door applications requiring a mortise-style installation. The bright chrome finish coordinates with chrome-finished locksets and door hardware in interior residential settings. The plain bearing construction makes it appropriate for standard-weight interior passage doors. It is typically installed in sets of two or three per door leaf depending on door height and weight. The 4-inch leaf size is a common specification for residential-grade interior door hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly routed mortise in both the door edge and door frame jamb sized to accept a 4-inch x 4-inch hinge leaf. Power down any electric door hardware and ensure the door is properly supported before removing existing hinges. A sharp chisel and mallet or a hinge mortise router template are standard tools for this work. Follow local building codes for door hardware requirements in applicable occupancy types.
