Ives 5BB1HWSC412652 Swing Clear Hinge 4.5 Inches Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 5BB1HWSC412652 is a five-knuckle, ball-bearing, heavy-weight swing clear hinge finished in satin chrome. It is designed for commercial and architectural door applications where full door-width clearance is required when the door is open. The swing clear geometry allows the door to swing completely free of the frame opening, which is critical for ADA-compliant doorway clearance in new construction and renovation projects. The hinge measures 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches and weighs approximately 2 pounds per unit. Ball-bearing operation reduces friction and extends service life under high-cycle use. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters install this type of hardware during door-frame rough-in or as a direct retrofit on existing door prep.

This hinge is suited for medium-to-heavy interior and exterior doors in commercial, institutional, and high-end residential settings. It is commonly specified on accessibility routes, corridor doors, and any opening where the full clear width of the frame must be available to meet code. The satin chrome finish coordinates with a wide range of architectural hardware families. Sold individually, with a case quantity of 24 units available for larger projects or stocking orders.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed contractor or qualified finish carpenter. Power down any electrified hardware connected to the door assembly before beginning work. Use a sharp chisel and router to mortise the hinge leaf flush with the door edge and frame jamb, following the door manufacturer and applicable building code requirements. Verify swing clear offset geometry matches the existing door prep before final fastening to avoid misalignment.
