Ives 5BB1HW412652 Heavy Weight Ball Bearing Hinge 4.5x4.5 Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 5BB1HW412652 is a five-knuckle, ball-bearing heavy-weight door hinge finished in satin chrome. Designed for high-cycle commercial and institutional door applications, this hinge delivers smooth, low-friction operation through its ball-bearing construction, which reduces wear on both the hinge and the door frame over time. At 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches, it is sized for heavy commercial doors requiring a robust, durable pivot point. Licensed contractors and commercial door hardware installers specify this type of hinge where door frequency and door weight demand more than a standard residential-grade product.

This hinge is suited for commercial, institutional, and high-traffic residential applications where door weight and use cycle count require a heavy-weight hinge rated for sustained performance. The satin chrome finish coordinates with a wide range of architectural hardware finishes and is appropriate for interior applications where appearance and durability are both considerations. It is sold individually and is available in case quantities of 24 units for larger projects.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed door hardware installers or finish carpenters familiar with commercial door and frame assemblies. Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned before mortising hinge locations. Use the correct screw size and drive pattern to avoid stripping the mortise. Follow applicable building codes for door hardware in commercial occupancies, including any accessibility requirements governing door operation force.
