ABH 019-1.5-RH-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the ABH 019-1.5 intermediate pivot handed, and how do I tell which one to order?
Handed, yes. Every 019-1.5 is built either left hand or right hand and there is no reversible version, so a right hand pivot will not serve a left hand door. Determine handing the standard way, from the outside of the door: if it is hinged on your left and swings away from you, that is left hand. On offset hung doors the pivot mortises into the side jamb and the hinge edge of the door, so the handing has to match the leaf you are hanging before anything is cut.
2) Do I have to mortise the door and frame for an ABH offset intermediate pivot?
Yes, this is a mortised part on both sides of the opening. The 019-1.5 cuts into the side jamb and into the hinge edge of the door, so it is not a surface applied intermediate. Plan the prep before the door is hung, and pull ABH's 019-1.5 installation template for the cutout so the intermediate lines up with the top and bottom pivots on the same 1-1/2 inch offset centerline.
3) What is an intermediate pivot for, and do I need one if I already have top and bottom pivots?
An intermediate pivot carries load in the middle of a tall leaf, between the top and bottom pivots that actually hang the door. Below 60 inches of door height it is not called for. At and above 60 inches ABH specifies one, and another for every 30 inches beyond that, because a tall offset hung leaf will otherwise sag and drag the pivot geometry out of line. It is not a substitute for a top or bottom pivot, it is an addition to a full offset hung set, so an ABH 019-1.5 gets ordered alongside the set rather than instead of part of it.
4) What is the difference between the ABH 019-1.5 and the BEST A3 offset hung pivot set?
The BEST A3 System is an offset hung pivot set, meaning the top and bottom pivots that hang the door. The ABH 019-1.5 is an intermediate pivot, the extra mid-height bearing point a tall door takes in addition to its top and bottom pivots: one on doors from 60 inches tall, plus one more for each additional 30 inches of height. The 019-1.5 is stainless steel with heavy duty stainless steel needle bearings, mortises into both the side jamb and the hinge edge of the door, and is handed left or right. Both carry a fire rating, and the ABH 019-1.5 is UL Listed for use on 3 hour fire rated doors.
5) Is the ABH 019-1.5 pivot BAA compliant for a federal or government job?
The 019-1.5 intermediate pivot is BAA qualified, which is what a government, municipal, or federally funded project needs to see on the submittal. Pair that with the UL Listing for 3 hour fire rated doors and it clears the two boxes most public agency specs put on hanging hardware for a labeled opening.
6) Will an ABH intermediate pivot hold up on a high traffic entrance door?
It is built for it. The 019-1.5 uses a stainless steel body with heavy duty stainless steel needle bearings, and ABH classes it heavy duty for commercial use, not residential. The needle bearing is the part that matters on a door cycling all day: it carries the leaf's weight on rollers rather than on a plain bushing, so the pivot keeps turning smoothly instead of wearing into a drag. Stainless also gives you a body that stands up in an exterior or wash down opening.
7) I need to replace an intermediate pivot from another manufacturer. Will the ABH 019 drop into the existing prep?
Do not assume it will. Intermediate pivot preps differ between makers, and swapping brands mid opening usually means the mortise depth or the leaf pattern does not line up. ABH publishes a pivots cross reference chart for exactly this, matching its models against other manufacturers' pivots, and a substitution request form for pivots where the spec calls out a competitor's number. Work from the cross reference first, then confirm the existing offset is 1-1/2 inch, because the 019-1.5 will only follow a 1-1/2 inch offset set.
8) Should I use offset hung pivots or a flush pivot set on my door?
Offset hung sets, which is what the ABH 019-1.5 intermediate belongs to, swing the door on a pivot point set out from the face of the frame, so the leaf clears the frame as it opens and you get a wider clear opening. That is the arrangement used on tall and heavy commercial doors, and it is the only one an intermediate pivot supports. A flush pivot set, like the Calibre Door Closers PV1000 with its 3/4 inch offset, sits differently in the opening and is the other family to look at when the door is not tall enough to need intermediate support. If the door is 60 inches or taller, offset hung with intermediates is the path.
9) What else could I buy instead of an ABH offset pivot set for a fire rated opening?
The BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set is the other offset hung option carrying a fire rating, so it is the closest cross brand equivalent for a labeled door. The difference to check is the offset dimension on the set you buy, because an ABH 019-1.5 intermediate only follows a 1-1/2 inch offset set and cannot be dropped onto a set built to a different offset. If you are already committed to an ABH top and bottom set, stay with the ABH intermediate.
10) Which offset hung pivot hardware can go on a 3 hour fire rated door?
The ABH 019-1.5 intermediate pivot is UL Listed for use on 3 hour fire rated doors and is BAA qualified, which matters when the job is federally funded. The BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set is also a fire rated product. On a rated tall opening the whole hanging system has to hold the rating, so the intermediate pivots carrying the door at mid height need it as much as the top and bottom pivots do.
11) What finishes does the ABH 019-1.5 intermediate pivot come in, and can I match the rest of my door hardware?
Fourteen finishes, and every one of them is offered in both left hand and right hand. The plated and metal finishes are bright chrome, bright brass, satin brass, bright bronze, satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze, bright stainless steel, and satin stainless steel. The painted finishes are aluminum, brass, bronze, dark bronze, black, and white. Painted aluminum and painted dark bronze are the two that usually matter on a storefront or an aluminum framed opening, since they let the pivot disappear into the jamb rather than sit against it as a bright metal part.
12) Does the ABH 019-1.5 pivot need power or wiring for an access control door?
No power, no wiring. The 019-1.5 is a purely mechanical intermediate pivot with no electrical function and nothing to key, so it carries no transfer for power through the opening. If your door needs power moved from the frame to the leaf for an electrified lock or exit device, that comes from a separate electric power transfer or a hinge built for it, ordered on top of the pivot set.
13) I am standardizing pivots across a building. Is the ABH 019-1.5 the same part for every tall door regardless of finish?
The pivot itself is one part across the board: model EX0180, stainless steel, heavy duty, 1-1/2 inch offset, UL Listed to 3 hours. What changes from door to door is handing and finish, and those are the only two things you specify. That makes it straightforward to standardize, order left hand and right hand in the quantity each opening's height calls for, and hold one finish across the property. Every finish is available in both hands, so a mixed swing fleet does not force a finish change on any door.
