 EZSet 4" with 1/4" radius
Ball Bearing Hinges are made for those solid wood doors you ordered for your front and back door. They are ready to hold up for years to come. These hinges are built so they wont grind down after time, like standard hinges tend to do. I’m sure you will notice the smooth and glide like feel. From EZSet and Emtek, take a look right here.  PHG 4", Square Corner Oh man oh man! We have ALL kinds of spring hinges I’m sure that will fit your needs. Square, round, bigger, smaller, sating nickel, oil rubbed bronze, brass… and the list goes on. A spring hinge, I’m sure most of know has a spring inside that will help close the door after entry. Is there a way to search for a new handleset with my measurements? YOU BET! We have this handy new page added to our site to do just that! Make sure and make your measurements before and read through the important paragraphs to better help you. All of the Handlesets are grouped by manufacture and listed in order by measurements. Be sure to let us know if you have any questions, we would be glad to take the order over the phone.
What if I have existing holes in my door, but want a new handleset? No problem! That’s what all the measurements were taken for! We made this easy to read grid to help you find exactly what Handlesets will fit your existing holes. One of the most important measurements, is the “C” measurement shown here. Your handleset will have a through bolt attaching the bottom of the exterior grip. It’s important to match this length with your new handleset to avoid drilling a new hole in the door and unsightly patching. There is about 1-1/2″ of adjustment on the “C” measurement for these handlesets; 3/4″ shorter or longer than the length shown. The standard door prep for an entrance doors is two 2-1/8″ bore holes that are 5-1/2″ center to center (measurement “B” in the image to the right) If you have more or even a little smaller than 5-1/2 inches, you can still use a sectional handleset, which have a seperate deadbolt.
This is made to make it an easier search for the perfect hardware for your door. We are watching out for you. Give us a call if you need any help!
We have so many ways to help make it easier to find exactly what you need. You can search by brand, best value, finish (once you have chosen your category), and you can even narrow your search by style…

This may be a question you have, so lets go over some of the things you need to know, before you order a door knob/lever or deadbolt. Measurements Door Preparation: Most of the door knobs on our site don’t need many measurements at all. You will need to make sure that you door hardware fits a standard door preparation. If you don’t know what that is, look over the diagrams below. The first diagram is a standard prep for most likely a standard interior door. If you are ordering a Handleset or Knob and a Deadbolt, the second diagram is the standard prep for something like that (if your door measures different from 5 1/2″ CC, please give us a call).
Backset: The backset is the distance from the edge of your door to the center of the bore hole (the big hole where the doorknob is mounted). The easiest way to figure out what you need is to measure from the edge of the door where the latch goes in and out to the highest part of your bore hole, or the highest part of the existing knob’s backplate. Almost all of the ones on our site are either 2 3/8″ or 2 3/4″, although we do have 2″ backset deadbolt from Brass Accents. If there is not an option on our site to choose a backset measurement, it means that it adjusts from 2 3/8″ to 2 3/4″. If not, you probably should take out the ruler. Door Thickness: Standard door thickness is 1 3/4″ – 2″. If you have a door that is over that thickness, Emtek has a lot of hardware that can fit up to 3″ thick. So as long as your doors are standard, you won’t need to worry about that part when ordering anything on the site. Door Handing Door handing is a lot easier than it sounds. Lots of the brands make this super easy, where they are interchangeable and you change the left hand to right hand vise versa. But some of brands require handing, so here is a diagram to help you determine what you have.
These are just the main things you will need to know before placing an order. You will still need to choose a style and the finish and all that fun stuff. But this should help you get started. Make sure to specify your keying instructions… keying all alike is free! If you need master keying give us a call. Happy shopping and happy weekend!

You and I both know that those can get spendy. For real. Emtek has great quality ball bearing hinges, but lets be honest… they are not so cheap. So let me tell you secret… we have some new EZSet commercial grade hinges at sweet price. Starting at $2.58 each. They are amazing looking. Believe me… I know. I have seen them in person. They are for sure sa-weet.
There are some with 1/4″ Radius Corners too! You can tell us this just made your weekend… but we already know.
 EZSet Grade II ILCT Interconnected Leverset Interconnected locks aren’t just in the handleset section. You can also find what you would call “side plate ” interconnected locks as well as commercial grade interconnect locks on our site. Basically, they have an internal mechanism that unlocks the deadbolt lock when the knob or lever is turned to open the door. Making it very convenient to exit. Shown below.  Interconnected Lock Mechanism There are many cities now that require interconnected locks in senior centers as well as other care facilities, because of the easy exit feature. I am not saying senior centers are the only place these may be used. There are plenty of customers who like this feature on their own home.
You know, when looking for hinges, you wouldn’t ever think you would need to know so much about them before ordering. The size, shape, finish and sometimes even the hole pattern matter before you go ahead with the order. WHAT?! HELP ME!!! Don’t worry, it’s no sweat. Let me walk you through the SIMPLE steps on how to order a door hinge. It’s easier than it sounds. Promise.
Take a ruler or measuring tape and measure the length and width of the hinge… like shown.
You will need to know if your hinges have round or square corners. If you have square corner hinges, skip to step 3. If you have round corner hinges there are 2 types… so pay attention. Here is a simple way of finding out if you have a 1/4″ radius or a 5/8″ radius hinge. Empty out your pockets for 1 dime and 1 quarter.
If your hinges have round AND square corners, you will need to follow the above step to find out what size radius it is. Unfortunately we only carry 5/8″ radius hinge with square corners. If you need a 1/4″ radius and square hinge you can order a 1/4″ radius set as well as a square corner set and take them apart and mix them yourself if you would like. Remember the hinges are sold as a pair.
This step is if you have a Round and Square corner hinge. If you don’t… skip this step. This is easy as pie. Just look at this diagram, If the square corners are on the left… its a left hand. If they are on the right it’s a right hand.
Done. Now let’s move on.
Choose your finish or color you love, enter in the quantity you want… and you are FINISHED and ready to check out. (Remember most of the hinges are sold as pairs, so look for “sold as pairs”, or “sold individually” on the page) Some of you may worry about the hole placement. If there is not a diagram of the measurements and its something you are worried about. give us a call and we should be able to find that out for you. So guess what? You just did it. No sweat. See, I told you.
