2.3.1 Hinges
NOTE: Use full-mortise (butt) hinges except where special types are required.
Use swing-clear hinges where necessary to keep door opening completely clear
when door is opened 90 to 95 degrees. Use wide-throw hinges where necessary
to keep door leaf clear of wall, casings, jambs, or reveals. Use antifriction-bearing
hinges on high-frequency or extra-heavy doors, and on doors equipped with closers.
Use plain-bearing hinges on low-frequency doors up to 900 mm 3 feet wide and
without closers. Use hospital tips in neuropsychiatric areas of medical facilities.
In general, full-mortise hinges for interior doors should be steel with BHMA
600 finish (primed for painting). Hinges on natural wood or plastic surfaced
interior doors should be steel with BHMA 652 finish (satin chromium plated)
or BHMA 639 finish (satin bronze plated) to match finish of other door hardware.
