Ives 5BB1HW412652TW8 Heavy Weight Electric Hinge 4.5x4.5 in

Product Description

The IVES 5BB1HW412652TW8 is a five-knuckle, ball-bearing, heavy-weight electric hinge designed to carry low-voltage wiring through a door frame into an electrified door leaf. Measuring 4.5 inches x 4.5 inches, it routes 8 wires through its barrel using CON connectors, keeping the wiring concealed and protected from repeated door cycling. The satin chrome finish suits commercial door hardware schedules. This hinge is installed by commercial locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and licensed electricians working in coordination on electrified door assemblies in commercial and institutional settings.

This electric hinge is suited for heavy-weight commercial door applications where access control hardware, electrified locks, or electric strikes require a clean wire path from the frame to the door. Typical installations include office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and other commercial environments that use card readers, electric strikes, magnetic locks, or similar access control devices. The 8-wire configuration provides sufficient conductors for common electrified hardware combinations. The CON connector system allows for straightforward wire termination at the hinge.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician and a licensed electrician working in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for low-voltage wiring. De-energize all connected access control circuits before handling wiring at the hinge. Verify door weight and frequency rating against the hinge specification before installation. Do not route line-voltage wiring through the hinge barrel.
