Hager IHT-HB953 Institutional Heavy Weight Hinge – Hospital Tip & Security Stud
The Hager IHT-HB953 is an ultra-heavy-duty Institutional Stainless Steel Hinge specifically engineered for the high-security demands of detention centers, psychiatric hospitals, and correctional facilities. Measuring 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" with an extreme .187 metal thickness, this hinge is designed to support heavyweight doors ranging from 250 to 600 lbs. Featuring a Hospital Tip (HT) for anti-ligature safety and a Reverse Security Stud to prevent door removal, the IHT-HB953 is the premier choice for life-safety and high-risk environments.
Maximum Security and Anti-Ligature Engineering
The IHT-HB953 integrates advanced security features directly into its investment-cast stainless steel body to ensure occupant safety and facility integrity.
- Anti-Ligature Hospital Tip: The top of the hinge is sloped and welded to prevent the attachment of cords or cloth, providing a critical safety barrier in behavioral health and detention settings.
- Reverse Security Stud: An integrated security stud ensures that the door remains locked within the frame even if the hinge knuckles are attacked or the pin is tampered with.
- Hagertron Concealed Bearings: Equipped with two maintenance-free concealed bearings that provide a smooth, silent swing under immense weight without the need for periodic lubrication.
- Tamper-Proof Fasteners: Furnished standard with Security Torx Flat Head Machine Screws (1/2" x 1/4-20) to prevent unauthorized removal using standard tools.
