EH-40 Electrified Hinge 4½" x 4" Stainless 5 Wire (SN-EH40)
The electric hinge transfers power with the highest level of concealment. This aids security as a vandal won’t easily be able to access the wires and also produces the most esthetically pleasing installation. Securitron offers two different electric hinge configurations which suit most North American hallow metal or wood doors: 4.5 x 4 inches (model EH-40) and 4.5 x 4.5 inches (model EH-45). These units are manufactured by McKinney Hinge, Securitron’s sister company, entirely in the US and to the highest possible quality standards. The material is stainless steel with a brushed finish. Each hinge carries five color coded conductors with 28 gauge wire which emerge from each side of the hinge in flying lead fashion.
The thinness of the wires is mandated by the limited physical space within the hinges and this does create a limit of 500 mA in Current carrying capability. This current level is sufficient for signaling applications to alarm systems and can comfortably operate any of Securitron’s Magnalocks (in an application where a switched exit device is releasing the Magnalock from the inside) but will not operate many electric locks made by others. Be sure you check the amount of current that your circuit will draw before selecting an electric hinge.
Choosing between the two models is a matter of determining which hinge size is already present in the door (by measuring). It is not practical to try to install an electric hinge in a space occupied by a different size hinge. Note also that aluminum (storefront) type doors do not employ conventional butt hinges at all, but open on pivots. Securitron’s other power transfer devices are appropriate for such doors.
