How much does a Hager BB1279 hinge cost?

The price on this page is assembled live from the current Hager price book, so it moves when Hager reprices. A bare BB1279 shows a range rather than a figure, because size and finish both drive the number — pick one of each above and the price settles to a single book figure.

What sizes does the BB1279 come in?

The book prices the butt hinge line across 33 sizes, and the BB1279 draws from all of them. They run from 3x4 and 3.5x3.5 up through 4.5x4.5, 5x5, 5x8 and 8x8, and the list also carries six single-dimension entries (3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 and 6) for lines written with only the height. Size is one of the two selections the resolver asks for before it will quote a price.

What finishes are available on a Hager BB1279?

Fourteen, as the book codes them: LS (Luma sheen), H2H (mechanical galvanized), USP (prime coat), US3 (bright brass), US4 (satin brass), US10 (satin bronze), US10A (antique bronze lacquered), US10B (antique bronze oiled), US15 (satin nickel), US26 (bright chromium plated), US26D (satin chromium plated), US32D/316SS (stainless steel satin 316), plus L1 and PS. Finish is the second required selection, and it moves the price.

What does NRP mean on a Hager hinge, and does it cost extra?

NRP is the non-removable pin option, one of 22 options the butt hinge book carries. It is a priced option rather than a free designation: a line that names NRP prices above the same hinge without it, in the same size and finish. Options are multi-select here, so a line can carry several at once.

What other options can I add to a BB1279?

The 22 options include the tip styles — Acorn Tip, Ball Tip, Steeple Tip and Urn Tip, which the book describes as decorator tips — along with HT (hospital tips), SH (safety stud), RC (round corners), CLR (clear coat), MV5 (antimicrobial powder coat) and the raised-barrel treatments RBB (raised barrel beveled edge) and RBS (raised barrel square edge). Type them on the line and the part number picks them up.

Is the Hager BB1279 handed?

The book carries a handing axis for the butt hinge line (LH and RH), but the resolver does not ask for it on a BB1279 — a bare BB1279 comes back asking only for size and finish. A line that names a hand still resolves and the hand lands in the part number, and it does not change the price: the same hinge with and without a hand named comes back at the same figure.

Raised Barrel and Jamb Surface Mount

Statement printed
On the Jamb Surface Mount (JSM) application, the door is double mortised to accommodate both hinge leaves; it is also referred to as double mortise. The Jamb Surface Mount may be applied to either a square or beveled edged door. For cased opening, sometimes referred as one leaf swagged flat.
The Raised Barrel for Square Edged (RBS) and the Raised Barrel for Beveled Edged (RBB) door applications are mortised into the frame and door as a standard full mortise hinge. Standard offset is 3/8” (10 mm). Depending on the depth of the frame, all three of these applications may restrict the degree of opening. Specify handing and door thickness.

Raised Barrel and Jamb Surface Mount
