Ives 5BB14652 Ball Bearing Hinge 4 X 4 Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 5BB14652 is a standard weight, five knuckle ball bearing hinge finished in satin chrome. Designed for commercial and residential door applications, this hinge uses ball bearings at each knuckle pivot point to reduce friction and support smooth, consistent door operation over extended service life. The 4 inch x 4 inch leaf size suits standard interior and light-duty exterior door frames. At 2.5 pounds, the hinge delivers solid construction without excess bulk. It is typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or door hardware specialists during new construction or door replacement projects.

This hinge is suited for standard weight door applications in commercial office, institutional, and residential settings. The satin chrome finish coordinates with common architectural hardware finishes used on passage sets, pulls, and strikes. It is sold individually and is appropriate for single door installations where a five knuckle, ball bearing hinge is specified by the door schedule or hardware set. Five knuckle geometry provides additional barrel contact area compared to a three knuckle hinge, which helps distribute load across the door frame more evenly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed carpenter or door hardware installer. Power down any electrified hardware associated with the door assembly before beginning work. Use a sharp chisel and hinge template to mortise the door and frame leaves to the correct depth to ensure flush seating. Follow applicable building codes and door hardware schedules for hinge quantity and placement requirements per door height and weight.
