Product Features
Technical Overview
This electrified hinge facilitates power transfer through the hinge pin, eliminating the need for external wiring runs across the door frame. The design maintains continuous electrical contact during door operation, supporting devices that require constant power or data transmission.
The hinge is constructed from solid steel, providing the strength needed to support standard door weights while housing the electrical transfer components. The chrome plating enhances durability against wear and environmental factors, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications where moisture or cleaning chemicals may be present.

FAQ
What is an electrified hinge and how does it work?
An electrified hinge is a specialized door hinge that incorporates electrical contacts within its design to transfer power or data signals across the door frame. The EL-EPTL model uses the hinge pin as a conductive pathway, maintaining continuous electrical connection even when the door is in motion. This allows door-mounted electronic devices like access control readers or electric locks to receive power without visible external wiring.
What applications is the EL-EPTL hinge designed for?
This hinge is specifically designed for door applications requiring power transfer to electronic hardware. Common uses include access control systems with electric strikes or electromagnetic locks, doors with electronic credential readers, and installations where maintaining fire ratings while providing electrical connectivity is necessary. It's suitable for commercial, institutional, and security-sensitive environments.
What certifications does this hinge carry?
The Securitron EL-EPTL hinge is certified to BHMA UL10C standards. BHMA (Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association) standards ensure hardware meets performance requirements for specific applications, while UL10C certification verifies the hinge's suitability for fire door assemblies. This compliance makes it appropriate for installations where fire-rated doors require electrified hardware.
What material is the hinge made from and what finish does it have?
The hinge is constructed from solid steel, providing the strength needed to support door weight while housing electrical components. It features a chrome-plated finish that offers corrosion resistance and durability. The product falls within the gray color family, making it visually compatible with various architectural hardware finishes commonly used in commercial buildings.
Can this hinge be used on exterior doors?
Yes, the steel construction with chrome plating provides environmental resistance suitable for exterior applications. The materials resist moisture and corrosion, while the electrical contacts are designed to maintain reliability in varying conditions. However, specific environmental ratings beyond the BHMA UL10C certification aren't provided, so consultation with installation specifications for extreme environments is recommended.
What makes this hinge different from standard door hinges?
Unlike standard hinges that only provide mechanical pivoting, the EL-EPTL incorporates electrical transfer capabilities within the hinge assembly. This eliminates the need for separate wiring conduits or transfer devices across the door frame. The design maintains both the hinge's mechanical function and continuous electrical connectivity, creating a cleaner installation while supporting electronic door hardware integration.
