Deltana Part Numbers and Finish Codes: US, BHMA and CR003 PVD

Deltana Enterprises part numbers such as DSB315A, 6FBR15 and BDS450CR003 combine a series and size, sometimes option letters, and a finish code. This guide shows how to read them and Deltana's finish codes, so you can pick the right variant.

How to read a Deltana part number

In the examples below, the series and size come first, then option letters and the finish code. Suffixes such as -R and -RZ follow the finish: DSB353-R is the US3 hinge with the -R option. The finish is written with or without a U: DSB3025U10B and DSB3510B both end in US10B (page 1-4).

Hinge option codes

Page 1-2, in the solid brass hinge chapter, prints a key of hinge option codes. Deltana's definitions, with an example for each (STD and FINIALS not shown):

• HD - "Heavy Duty Thickness, Architectural Grade" - S44HD3, a steel hinge under a Heavy Duty heading (page 3-6)
• -R - "Residential Grade" - DSB353-R
• -RZ - "Residential Grade, Zig Zag hole pattern (Non-Template)" - DSB43-RZ
• NRP - "Non-Removable Pin (Security for out-swinging doors)" - DSB4N3
• BB - "Ball Bearing" - DSB35B3
• NRP/BB - "Non-Removable Pin / Ball Bearing (N/B)" - DSB4NB3
• R4 - "Radius (1/4") Round corners" - DSB35R43
• R5 - "Radius (5/8") Round corners" - DSB35R53
• UNL - "Unlacquered Finish (No clear coat)" - DSB353-UNL

In these DSB numbers NRP appears as N and BB as B, while the PVD ball bearing hinge is CSB35BB. Options can change the specification too: in the 3-1/2" square corner tables (page 1-4), -R hinges are 0.085" thick, standard ones 0.119".

Other product lines: read the table heading

For the lines below, read each letter from its table heading. In the examples shown:

• Flush bolts (page 4-3): 6FBR3 is marked Round Edge and 6FBS3 Square Edge.
• Surface bolts (page 4-5): 6SB, 8SB and 12SB stand under 6", 8" and 12" Surface Bolt headings.
• Flush pulls (page 7-7): FP238 is the Round HD pull of 2-3/8" diameter.
• Pocket locks (page 8-8): SDL60 is listed under Privacy, SDP60 under Passage.

Three things to watch

• Size and finish digits run together. DSB33 is the 3" x 3" hinge in US3 and DSB353 the 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" hinge in US3, but DSB35 alone is the 3" x 3" hinge in US5 (page 1-4). Compare the whole number with the catalog row.
• The same letters mean different things. R marks radius corners (R4, R5), Residential (-R) and the round edge flush bolt (6FBR). BM is a distressed finish on solid brass hinges (page 2-3), but on the spring hinge page (3-11) numbers such as DSH4R54BM are marked Bench Mark.
• The PVD finish CR003 is written several ways. CSB35 (page 1-4) is a full mortise solid brass hinge in CR003, other examples end in CR003 or 003 (BDS450CR003, 8SB003), and the solid brass house numbers on pages 9-14 and 9-15 have no finish code in CR003 (RN6-7).

Deltana finish codes: BHMA, US and Deltana names

The finish table on catalog page 0-4:

Deltana's standard finishes page (0-5) labels US15 Satin Nickel, so both names are Deltana's.

Where Deltana differs from our general finish chart

Our door hardware finish codes chart follows other makers' tables. For a Deltana item, go by Deltana's code:

• 605: our chart describes 605 (US3) as bright brass, clear coated. Deltana gives 605 to both US3 Polished Brass and US3-UNL Unlacquered Brass, so for unlacquered brass check for the finish code US3-UNL (PDB42U3-UNL).
• Black: Deltana names both US1B (601) and US19 (622) Paint Black; our chart lists 622 as flat (matte) black coated.
• US26D on steel: Deltana's table has one number for US26D, 626, and steel items carry US26D too, such as the S35U26D-R steel hinge (page 3-5) and the SCWS1010U26D steel screw (page 12-5). Our chart, following Hager and Ives, lists satin chrome on steel as 652.
• Codes without a name: the catalog prints no finish name for US3/4 on steel hinges (S44R4BK3/4, DSH4R43/4) or for the distressed hinge finishes BM, BD, WL and WM (page 2-3). Steel hinge tables print White as the finish of USPW numbers such as S33R4USPW.

Deltana Crown PVD finish (CR003)

Page 1-2 says the DELTANA CROWN PVD finish "has the appearance of polished brass" and "is a titanium PVD process that does not utilize a clear coat."

Finish names on our product pages

On the Deltana pages shown under this post, the title gives the part number and the Attributes list shows a Finish Code and a Finish description, for example US15A and Antique Nickel on the DSB315A 3" x 3" hinge, or CR003 and PVD Polished Brass on the BDS450CR003 baseboard bumper. Some of our titles use other words: the FP40U4 flush pull title calls its US4 finish Satin Brass, where Deltana says Brushed Brass. When a finish has to match, go by the code in the part number.
