Hager HT-BB1168 5" x 4-1/2" Heavy Weight Hospital Tip Hinge
The Hager HT-BB1168 is a specialized heavy-duty security hinge designed for environments where safety and durability are the highest priorities. Featuring a hospital tip (HT), this hinge is specifically engineered for psychiatric wards, medical facilities, and correctional institutions to prevent the attachment of ligatures or foreign objects to the hinge barrel. Combining massive vertical load support with advanced anti-tamper features, the HT-BB1168 is the industry standard for high-security, high-traffic openings.
Ligature-Resistant Safety and Security
The Hospital Tip design provides a sloped, rounded end to the hinge barrel, making it nearly impossible to hang objects on the tip—a critical safety feature in high-risk areas. For enhanced security, Hager equips these hinges with an NRP (Non-Removable Pin) set screw located in the center knuckle and two cross pins, ensuring the stainless steel hinge pin remains locked in place even if the door is in the open position.
Engineered for High-Frequency Service
Built for the most demanding openings, the HT-BB1168 features a robust .190 gauge thickness and four ball bearings made of stainless steel. These bearings reduce friction and prevent lateral wear, allowing heavy doors to swing smoothly under constant use. This ANSI A8111 compliant hinge is designed for 1-3/4" thick doors and includes an integrated oil port for easy lubrication, ensuring a long, maintenance-free service life in "low-to-high" frequency commercial environments.
