The UL Environment “Part A: Calculation Rules for the Life Cycle Assessment and Requirements on the Project Report,” v4.0 (March, 2022), based on ISO 21930:2017, serves as the core PCR. ☒ EPD verification by individual verifier ☐ INTERNAL ☒ EXTERNAL Third-party verifier: Freddy Navarro, LCACHECK S.A.S. de C.V. Approved by: The International EPD® System Procedure for follow-up of data during EPD validity involves third party verifier: ☐ Yes ☒ No The EPD owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD. EPDs within the same product category but registered in different EPD programmes, or not compliant with EN 15804, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they must be based on the same PCR (including the same version number) or be based on fully-aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have equivalent system boundaries and descriptions of data; apply equivalent data quality requirements, methods of data collection, and allocation methods; apply identical cut-off rules and impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterization factors); have equivalent content declarations; and be valid at the time of comparison. For further information about comparability, see EN 15804 and ISO 14025. Comparison of the environmental performance of products using EPD information shall be based on the product’s use and impacts at the construction works level, and therefore EPDs may not be used for comparability purposes when not considering the construction works energy use phase as instructed under this PCR. In general, EPDs may not be used for comparability purposes when not considered in a construction works context. Given this PCR (UL Part B: Builders Hardware EPD Requirements Version 1.0. 2019-11-15) ensures products meet the same functional requirements, comparability is permissible provided the information given for such comparison is transparent and the limitations of comparability explained. When comparing EPDs created using this PCR, variations and deviations are possible. Full conformance with the PCR for Builders Hardware allows EPD comparability only when all stages of a life cycle have been considered, when they comply with all referenced standards, use the same sub-category Part B PCR, and use equivalent scenarios with respect to construction works. However, variations and deviations are possible. Example of variations: Different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead to different results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared. 1 Not all requirements in the GPI are fulfilled, particularly the requirement, for construction products, to follow EN 15804 for certain aspects of the LCA method. 2 This EPD is based on a PCR that satisfies market expectations (example: Building Transparency EC3 comparisons, LEED and existing vendor procurement requirements, product scoring programs, etc.). The EPD should not be used outside of this context.

Typically, hinges are installed three per standard door leaf. These hinges are designed for commercial applications. Market of applicability: United States Year of reported manufacturer primary data: Primary data were provided by the manufacturer and represent all information for calendar year 2023. Database(s) and LCA software used: MLC Database 2024.2 and LCA FE 10.9 software. LCIA Methodology & Version Number: IPCC AR5 GWP 100, TRACI 2.1, CML v4.7. EPD type: Product specific. Description of system boundaries: Cradle-to-gate with options, modules A1-A3 and C1-C4 are included in this study. Manufacturing: Hinge blanks are punched from extruded metal sheets. Once blanks are punched out, they are loaded onto a machine that curls the knuckles. A removable or non-removable pin is then added along with bearings (when applicable) and a bottom plug. Lubrication is added in this process. The two-knuckle hinge side is combined with the three-knuckle side in a final step that forms the final hinge. Metal waste is created through the process. This is captured and sold to recyclers. Electricity: The electricity is sourced from the power grid, and no onsite electricity generation is used. Sub-meter specific electricity values were not available from the manufacturing facility. Annual electricity consumption was normalized to the declared unit (one hinge) using the allocation methodology described below. The emissions associated with the modeled grid mix as used in the LCA are 0.509 kg CO2 eq per kWh using the IPCC AR5 impact assessment methodology. Utilities: Manufacturing electricity is sourced from the power grid, and no onsite electricity generation is used. Utilities used in the manufacturing process are purchased from third parties. Sub-meter specific utility consumption values were not available from the manufacturing facility. As such, annual
PAGE 6/18 consumption was normalized to the declared unit (1 hinge) using the allocation methodology described below. End of life: At the product’s end of life, the product can be manually disassembled. End-of-life scenarios for the product was modeled according to UL Part A end-of-life assumptions for “all other metals” (Section 2.8.5) in the United States. This was deemed appropriate based on the mixed metal composition of many of Hager’s products. Assumptions: Throughout this study, value choices and judgments that may have affected the LCA have been described. Additional decisions are summarized below: • The inclusion of overhead energy data was determined appropriate and included as part of the facility energy data. • Similarly, manufacturing inputs and outputs were assumed to be the same on a per unit basis across all products in the same product line. Product scrap waste was calculated for products based on specification. • The products covered in this EPD are sold in several varieties which primarily vary in size, finish, shape, and fastener package. Regardless of the product size, product lines are manufactured from the same materials and have the same general composition. This EPD reflects a single product for each product line covered with that product chosen based on production volume. • Secondary datasets from Sphera’s MLC database were used within the study. The selection of which generic dataset to use to represent an aspect of a supply chain is a significant value choice. Cut-off Rules: All inputs and outputs to unit processes for which data are available are included in the assessment. When data was not available, average, generic, or proxy data from the MLC database was utilized. A cut-off rule of 1% is considered in this assessment. This rule dictates that the included inventory data accounts for greater than 99% of the total material and energy inputs to the system. Furthermore, greater than 99% of the environmental impacts are presumed to have been modeled based on the assessor’s best judgment of excluded inputs. All substances with hazardous and toxic properties that can be of concern for human health and/or the environment have been identified, if present in the product, and declared according to normative requirements in standards or regulations applicable in the market for which the EPD is valid, even if the given process unit is under the cut-off criterion. The list of excluded materials and energy inputs include: • Some material inputs may have been excluded within the Sphera MLC datasets used for this project. All Sphera MLC datasets have been critically reviewed and conform to the exclusion requirement of the PCR. • Emissions from the production of manufacturing facilities and equipment were excluded from this study. • Some ancillary or finishing materials below the cutoff may have been excluded. Data Quality: Overall, the data quality for this LCA is considered good. The geographic coverage, time coverage, and technological coverage are all good. The precision, consistency, and reproducibility are all high and the model is considered complete.
PAGE 7/18 Allocation: General principles of allocation were based on ISO 14040/44. There is currently no sub-metering at the manufacturing facility. To derive a per-unit value for manufacturing inputs and outputs such as electricity, water, and manufacturing waste, a two-step allocation process was undertaken. The first step was allocation from facility-wide values to product-category specific quantities. This accounted for the fact that different product types (e.g., hinges vs. trim) undergo different processes (e.g., metal bending and plating vs. just cutting) at Hager’s facility. For this step, allocation based on financial data as informed by Hager Companies accounting associates was undertaken. The result of this step was the proportional division of total utility inputs across various product categories. From these product category pools, allocation based on total production units within each category was adopted. This was deemed appropriate given that the primary processes occurring within Hager’s® production facility are metal processing and forming, the energy intensity of which is not reliant on the mass of material but is more closely related to the time it takes per unit of production which are similar for products of the same type. Of relevance to the defined system boundary is the method in which recycled materials were handled. Throughout the study, recycled materials were accounted for via the cut-off method. Under this method, impacts and benefits associated with the previous life of a raw material from recycled stock are excluded from the system boundary. Additionally, impacts and benefits associated with secondary functions of materials at end of life are also excluded (i.e. production into a third life or energy generation from the incineration plant). The study does include the impacts associated with reprocessing and preparation of recycled materials that are part of the bill of materials of the products under study. Additionally, this study excludes long term and emissions derived from the creation of manufacturing infrastructure.

Comparisons may be made between product-specific or industry average EPDs at the time of product purchase when product performance and specifications have been established and serve as a functional unit for comparison. Environmental impact results shall be converted to a functional unit basis before any comparison is attempted. Any comparison of EPDs shall be subject to the requirements of ISO 21930. EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they have different system boundaries, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. Such comparison can be inaccurate and could lead to erroneous selection of materials or products which are higher impact, at least in some impact categories. The estimated impact results are only relative statements, which do not indicate the endpoints of the impact categories, exceeding threshold values, safety margins and/or risks. The results presented herein include Modules A1-C4. Use of A1-A3 results without considering results of associated with Modules A5 and C1-C4 is discouraged as it does not accurately represent the full life cycle impacts of the product presented in this EPD, and in some instances (e.g., those relating to biogenic carbon) this can lead to misleading claims.
PAGE 12/18 Additional environmental information Environment and Health During Manufacturing Hager meets all federal and state standards related to the Environment and Health during manufacturing. Additionally, Hager has taken further steps to reduce the environmental and health impacts of our manufacturing process. These steps include: • Consolidated manufacturing and distribution efforts to reduce transportation (consuming less fuel and producing less emissions) and reducing inventory space (reducing our physical footprint) • Implementing recycling efforts for scrap metals and corrugated products • A wastewater pre-treatment facility at our Montgomery, Alabama, manufacturing plant that removes 98.5 percent of the soluble metals created during the manufacturing process and significantly reduces water consumption. • Implemented a corporate headquarters recycling program that single streams the recycling of paper, plastic, glass, metal, and other materials (diverting such waste from the landfill). Extraordinary Effects Fire: Steel and stainless steel hinges meet NFPA 80 requirements for fire rated doors Water: Steel hinges have potential to rust during flood conditions Mechanical Destruction: No danger to the environment is anticipated from unforeseeable mechanical destruction of Hager Commercial Hinge products. Many Hager products have been testing and approved for statewide acceptance Florida Building Commission pursuant to Rule 9B-72.090, F.A.C. This means they are suitable for use in regions impacted by severe wind and generally considered resistant to mechanical destruction. Additional information can be found at www.floridabuilding.org.
PAGE 13/18 Appendix: Extrapolation of Results As noted in the Product Description, 24 individual Hager Full Mortise Commercial Hinge products were analyzed in the development of this EPD. In addition to steel, Hagar offers Full Mortise Commercial Hinge products in stainless steel and brass. Conversion Factors for Non-Steel Materials The following section of this EPD contains conversion factors that can be used to scale the results presented for the BB1279 4 ½" x 4 ½" US26D steel product to products of other material types. The products chosen are those that are the top producing of their respective product types. These conversion factors are intended to be applied directly via multiplication to each impact category result and for each life cycle module presented in the steel product results tables above. Note that all products were assumed to utilize the same packaging scenario; however, variation in packaging is possible between product variants.

PAGE 16/18 Linear Regression Analysis Via a linear regression analysis, it was determined that the LCIA results reported in this study can be reliably extrapolated by product mass from the reference products shown in this EPD to the remaining 21 products analyzed. A high degree of fit was found to a linear regression curve with R2 of greater than 0.91 for all impacts except ODP, which is known to have a high degree of variability. For these calculated scalars, it was found that impacts of these products would fall within 10% of the predicted values except for ODP. For brass, only 1 product was evaluated and so no scalars were calculated. For steel and stainless-steel products, the following can be used to scale the reported results in this EPD for other Hager Commercial Hinge products of the same material. In the equations below, “Y” is the result pertaining to the noted indicator and “X” is the mass of the product only (one single hinge excluding fasteners and packaging).
