McKinney 1502 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Spring Hinge, Full Mortise, Steel with Plated Finish

  • Introduction
    • Recommended for standard weight, medium frequency doors
    • Ideal alternative to traditional door closers
    • Perfect for apartments, hotels, motels, office buildings
    • Emphasis on door security and functionality
  • Spring Hinge Functionality
    • Designed to replace door closing devices efficiently
    • Requirement: two hinges per door must be spring hinges for adequate closing force
    • Ensures smooth and controlled closure
    • NFPA requirement of minimum two spring hinges on labeled doors
    • Reinforcement of reliability and compliance with safety standards

When it comes to choosing the right hinge for your doors, understanding the distinctions between single acting spring hinges and conventional hinge types can help you make an informed decision—especially in busy environments where function and safety go hand-in-hand.

Automatic Door Closing

Single acting spring hinges stand out thanks to their built-in self-closing mechanism. Unlike standard butt hinges (from brands like Stanley or Hager) that simply provide pivot motion, spring hinges use internal tension to automatically return the door to a closed position every time it’s opened. This self-closing action makes them a go-to solution for spaces where fire code compliance or energy efficiency is a priority.

Adjustable Tension

Another advantage: single acting spring hinges let you fine-tune the closing speed and force. A supplied hex key allows you to increase or decrease tension, tailoring performance to fit your specific door and usage needs—something you won’t get from fixed-pivot hinges or ball bearing hinges.

Enhanced Security and Safety Compliance

Spring hinges help doors latch securely after each use, helping to maintain building security and—when installed according to NFPA 80 and UL10c standards—supporting fire and life safety code requirements. Many other hinge types, including continuous or piano hinges, lack any mechanism for ensuring the door returns to a closed position after opening.

Ideal Applications

You'll often find single acting spring hinges installed in spots where traditional hydraulic or overhead door closers don’t fit or aren’t practical, such as lighter interior doors in apartment complexes, hotel rooms, or office corridors. They add an extra layer of convenience while saving space and simplifying installation compared to bulky door closers.

Summary of Key Differences

  • Self-closing action: Returns doors to the closed position automatically.
  • Adjustable tension: Customizable to suit door weight and usage.
  • Code compliant: Helps meet fire and security codes.
  • Space-saving: No need for overhead closers.
  • Practical for internal doors: Perfect for moderate-use spaces.

With these unique advantages, single acting spring hinges can be the practical alternative where efficiency and compliance matter most.
