Hager BB1191 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Full Mortise - Ball Bearing Hinge, Stainless Steel or Brass with Plated Finish
The Hager BB1191 is a high-performance Full Mortise Ball Bearing Hinge engineered for environments where corrosion resistance and architectural aesthetics are the top priorities. Available in both Solid Brass and Stainless Steel (Type 304L), this non-ferrous hinge is the industry standard for coastal applications, high-moisture areas, and premium commercial office suites. Designed for 1-3/4" thick doors, the BB1191 provides a smooth, maintenance-free swing for medium-weight doors or those requiring low-to-medium frequency service.
Non-Ferrous Durability for Challenging Environments
The Hager BB1191 is specifically constructed from materials that will not rust, ensuring the structural integrity and appearance of your door hardware remain intact over time.
- Premium Material Options: Choose Stainless Steel (US32/US32D) for maximum industrial durability or Solid Brass for high-end architectural finishes like Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, or Oil Rubbed Bronze.
- Two Ball Bearings: Equipped with precision-engineered ball bearings that distribute door weight evenly, reducing friction and preventing the common "metal-on-metal" wear that leads to door sagging.
- Stainless Steel Pins: Every BB1191 hinge is supplied with a Stainless Steel pin as standard, providing an extra layer of protection against hinge-pin binding and corrosion.
- Life-Safety Compliance: While the Stainless Steel version is UL Fire Rated, please note that hinges with a Brass base material are not permitted for use on fire-rated door openings.
