The SDC PTH Series conductor hinges transfer power and signals from the frame to the door invisibly - the wiring runs concealed through the hinge, replacing exposed door loops and armored cables. Installed in place of a standard hinge, a PTH powers electrified locks, exit device trims, and other door-mounted hardware while keeping the opening clean and tamper resistant with the door closed.
Choose the conductor count to match the door: four wires for basic lock power, six (a 2+4 configuration pairing power conductors with signal conductors) for a lock plus monitoring, or ten wires for multiple devices on one door. An optional Door Position Status switch builds concealed door monitoring into the hinge itself, reporting open/closed state to the access control system. Four architectural finishes match the door hardware: Bright Brass, Bright Chrome, Dull Chrome, and Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a conductor hinge do?
- It routes power and signal wiring through the hinge itself, so electrified hardware on the door connects to the access control system with no visible door loop and no wiring exposed when the door is closed.
- How many wires do I need?
- Match the devices on the door: four for basic lock power, six (2+4) when the lock also reports status, ten when several devices share the door.
- What is the Door Position Status option?
- A switch concealed in the hinge that reports the door open/closed state to the access control or alarm system - monitoring with nothing visible on the frame.
- Does it replace an existing hinge?
- Yes - the PTH installs in a standard hinge position; other hinge sizes are sold as separate items alongside this listing.
- What finishes are available?
- Four: Bright Brass, Bright Chrome, Dull Chrome, and Oil Rubbed Bronze - matched to common door hardware finishes.
