Hager HAG-497-RH-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Hager 497 bottom pivot work on its own, or do I need the other pivots too?
The 497 is the bottom pivot of a three-piece set. For a door up to 3'0" x 8'0" weighing 350 pounds max, Hager calls for all three pivots installed together: #495, #496 and #497. Ordering the 497 alone leaves you without the top and intermediate pivots the door needs to hang correctly.
2) What size and weight of door will the Hager 497 pivot handle?
Rated for doors up to 350 pounds and a maximum leaf of 3'0" wide by 8'0" high (914 mm x 2438 mm). Above 3'6" and up to 4'0" in width, Hager calls for an additional intermediate pivot, the #496. Heavier or taller leaves than that are outside what this pivot is rated to carry.
3) Is the Hager 497 handed, and what do I have to specify when I order?
Handed, yes. You pick left hand or right hand at the time of order, and it has to match the door swing. There is no field-reversible option, so a left hand pivot cannot be flipped for a right hand opening.
4) What offset does the Hager 497 use, and will it match my existing frame prep?
It is a 3/4 inch (19 mm) offset, full mortise pivot, meaning both leaves mortise into the door and the frame. That 3/4 inch offset is the common commercial offset hung dimension, so it lines up with other 3/4 inch offset prep, for example the Dorma 75120 3/4" offset hung full mortise top pivot. It will not drop into a 1-1/2 inch offset prep like the Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot.
5) What should I use instead if my door is heavier than 350 pounds?
Past 350 pounds the 497 is out of its range. The Ives 7215 heavy duty brass offset pivot set with header mount is rated to 500 lb, and the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is recommended for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds. Both are heavy duty sets rather than a single pivot.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Hager 497 bottom pivot if I need a fire rated opening?
The Hager 497 is a heavy duty floor mounted bottom pivot with ball bearing operation in forged bronze, and it is not fire rated. For a fire rated pivot application, the Ives 7215F is a stainless steel 3/4 inch offset pivot set with a top header mount rated to 500 lb and carrying a fire rating, matching the 497's 3/4 inch offset geometry while covering a labeled opening. The 7215F is supplied as a set including the top mount rather than as a bottom pivot alone.
7) I need a complete offset pivot set rather than just the bottom pivot the Hager 497 provides. What should I look at?
The Hager 497 is the floor mounted bottom pivot of a three-piece arrangement, and Hager notes that doors up to 3'0" x 8'0" at 350 lb use pivots 495, 496 and 497 together. If you would rather buy one packaged set, the Ives 7215 is a heavy duty brass offset pivot set with a header mount rated to 500 lb, and the Ives 7212 is the same style of heavy duty brass offset set rated to 200 lb. The Ives 7212V is that 200 lb set configured with a jamb mount instead of a header mount for frames without a usable header.
8) What is the equivalent of the Hager 497 for the top of the door?
The Hager 497 is the bottom pivot and mounts to the floor. The top position on a 3/4 inch offset full mortise opening is filled by a top pivot such as the Dormakaba 75120, a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise standard top pivot that is fire rated and standard duty. The 497 itself is handed, so order the top pivot to the same hand as the door swing.
9) Which intermediate pivot pairs with the Hager 497 on a tall or wide door?
Hager calls for intermediate pivot 496 alongside the 497 on doors over 3'6" up to 4'0" wide. If you are specifying the intermediate position from another line at the same 3/4 inch offset, the Dormakaba 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot rated heavy duty and fire rated. The Dormakaba 15220 is a heavy duty brass intermediate pivot as well but at a 1-1/2 inch offset and supplied right hand, so it suits a different offset geometry than the 497.
10) The Hager 497 is a full mortise pivot for hollow metal and wood doors. What do I use on aluminum storefront doors instead?
The 497 is a full mortise pivot that routes into the door and frame, which suits commercial wood and hollow metal openings. Aluminum storefront and Vistawall type doors use dedicated aluminum pivots instead: the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 series are intermediate pivots made for aluminum doors and frames, and the IP-12 is non handed where the Hager 497 must be ordered left hand or right hand. The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 series is a 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set. All four of those Ilco series are standard duty, versus the heavy duty rating on the 497.
11) Are screws included with the Hager 497 pivot, and what size are they?
Fasteners come with it: 5/8" x 1/4-20 machine screws for metal frames and door reinforcement, plus 1-1/4" x 14 wood screws for wood applications. You still need the manufacturer's templates to lay out the floor and door prep before drilling.
12) Is the Hager 497 pivot smooth enough for a high traffic entrance door?
It runs on a ball and thrust bearing, which is what you want on a heavy leaf that cycles all day, and it's built as a heavy duty commercial pivot. Forged bronze resists corrosion, so it holds up at exterior and vestibule openings. Finish is US26D satin chrome.
13) Does the Hager 497 meet ANSI/BHMA for a spec job?
It's built to ANSI/BHMA A156.1 and carries the ANSI C07131 designation, which is the number to put on a hardware schedule or submittal for a heavy duty bottom pivot.
14) Is a floor pivot set like the Dorma 7471K a substitute for the Hager 497?
They solve the same problem differently. The Hager 497 is a full mortise adjustable bottom pivot with ball and thrust bearing, floor mounted, handed, and rated for doors up to 350 lb at 3'0" x 8'0". The Dorma 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, rated heavy duty and fire rated. Side load means the door drops into the pivot from the side rather than being set down onto it, which changes the door prep and the way the door is hung, so it is not a drop-in replacement for a 497 prep.
15) Do I have to match handing the way the Hager 497 requires, or is there a non handed offset pivot?
The Hager 497 is handed and ships as either left hand or right hand, so the swing has to be confirmed before ordering. Among comparable offset pivots, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 series intermediate pivot for aluminum doors and frames is non handed, which removes the handing decision but limits you to aluminum door and frame applications at a standard duty rating rather than the heavy duty rating of the 497.
16) Is the Hager 497 an electrified pivot for power transfer to the door?
No, it's a purely mechanical pivot with no electrical option. If you need power to the leaf, that has to come from a separate transfer device or an electric hinge.
