Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About 4.5 Inch Door Hinges
Q: How do 4.5 inch hinges differ from 4 inch hinges?
A: While both are considered heavy-duty, 4.5 inch hinges offer a significant step up in load capacity and durability. They are specifically designed for even heavier and wider doors, or for applications with exceptionally high traffic, where the added size and often more robust construction provide an extra margin of safety and longevity compared to 4-inch hinges.
Q: What types of doors are 4.5 inch hinges best suited for?
A: 4.5 inch hinges are best suited for very heavy residential entry doors, oversized custom doors, and most commercial and institutional doors, including fire-rated doors and those in high-traffic public areas. They are ideal for doors that are 1 3/4 inches thick or more, and where superior strength and durability are critical.
Q: Are all 4.5 inch hinges ball bearing?
A: While not *all* are, the vast majority of high-quality 4.5 inch hinges designed for heavy-duty use will feature multiple ball bearings. This is crucial for distributing the weight of heavy doors and ensuring a consistently smooth, silent, and effortless swing over time, making them the industry standard for this size.
Q: Are these hinges compatible with fire-rated doors or ADA requirements?
A: Yes, many 4.5 inch hinges are specifically manufactured to meet fire-rating standards (e.g., 20-minute, 90-minute, 3-hour ratings) and can contribute to ADA compliance due to their smooth operation and robust support for heavy doors. Always ensure the specific product you choose carries the necessary certifications for your project's requirements.
Q: What materials are commonly used for 4.5 inch hinges?
A: Given their heavy-duty application, 4.5 inch hinges are typically made from highly durable and strong materials such as heavy-gauge steel (often with protective coatings for corrosion resistance) and high-quality stainless steel (especially for exterior or corrosive environments). Solid brass options may also be available for specific aesthetic needs.
Q: Do you offer other hinge sizes or styles?
A: Yes, Coastal Hardware Store provides an extensive range of hinges to cater to every project requirement. In addition to our robust 4.5 inch door hinges, you can explore other popular sizes like 2-inch, 2.5-inch, 3-inch, 3.5-inch, and 4-inch door hinges.
