Its full-mortise leaves, five-knuckle construction, and plain-bearing design provide the specified configuration for a properly matched residential opening.

- Corner radius: 5/8 inch.

A Match for Prepared Residential Openings
Our RH35 fits applications calling for this size, gauge, and rounded-corner preparation. Full-mortise installation recesses one leaf into the door and the other into the frame. Match both pockets to the actual hinge so the leaves seat flush without forcing the door out of alignment.
The 5/8-inch radius is an important ordering detail. A hinge with square corners or a different radius is not an automatic substitute, even when the nominal height and width are the same. Compare screw positions and leaf thickness as well as the overall dimensions before ordering replacements.

Practical Uses
- Residential hinge replacement: Match an existing RH35 or an opening with the same verified preparation.
- Coordinated room updates: Select a listed finish to complement the door's other hardware.
- Prepared new doors: Use where the hardware schedule specifies a residential-weight, plain-bearing hinge of this size and radius.
Everyday example: During a bedroom-door refresh, a homeowner checks the existing hinges and confirms 3-1/2-inch leaves with 5/8-inch radius corners. After comparing the thickness and screw pattern, the installer supports the door, fits matching RH35 hinges in the prepared pockets, and checks for an even swing and reliable latching.
Installation Guidance
- Check the application: Confirm the door's dimensions, actual weight, frequency of use, and required hinge count.
- Compare the preparation: Verify the .085-inch gauge, corner radius, mortise dimensions, and screw layout against the supplied hinge.
- Inspect the receiving material: Repair damaged pockets or stripped fastening points before installation.
- Use suitable fasteners: The residential catalog references 3/4-inch x #9 wood screws for the standard 3-1/2-inch family. Confirm supplied contents and suitability for the actual door and frame.
- Maintain alignment: Support the door and keep hinge axes aligned; do not use screw pressure to force poorly matched mortises into position.
- Test the opening: Check clearances, full movement, and latch engagement after fitting.
Problems It Helps Address
- A worn residential hinge needs replacement: Provides the identified RH35 size and construction.
- Rounded mortises need the correct corner profile: Matches the specified 5/8-inch radius rather than a square-corner substitute.
- Visible hardware no longer coordinates: Offers the listed finish choices for the opening.
Selection and Care
Plain bearing is distinct from ball bearing. Do not assume RH35 is suitable for a heavy door, high-frequency opening, door closer, or rated assembly simply because its dimensions fit. Confirm the complete hardware requirements before selecting it.
Verify the purchase quantity and fastening contents before ordering; catalog packaging references do not establish the number supplied by a selected purchase. Periodically inspect alignment and screw tightness. Use finish-appropriate cleaning methods and investigate binding or looseness rather than continuing to force the door.
