ABH ABH-019-RH-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the ABH 019 pivot handed, and how do I tell left hand from right hand?
Handed, yes. The 019 comes left hand or right hand and the two are not interchangeable, because the pivot mortises into one specific jamb face and the matching edge of the door. Standard door handing convention applies: stand outside the opening on the side the door swings away from you, and the hinge edge tells you the hand. Get it wrong and the mortise is cut on the wrong side of the frame. If you are adding pivots to an existing offset hung door, match the hand of the top and bottom pivots already in the opening.
2) Can I use the ABH 019 pivot on a 3 hour fire rated door?
Yes. The 019 intermediate pivot is UL Listed for use on doors rated up to 3 hours, which covers the stair and shaft enclosure openings in most commercial buildings. That listing is on the pivot itself, so it does not compromise the rating of the door assembly it goes into.
3) Do I get a complete pivot set with the ABH 019, or do I still need top and bottom pivots?
The 019 is the intermediate pivot only. It supports and aligns the door but does not hang it, so you still need a 3/4 inch offset top pivot and bottom pivot (or offset floor closer arrangement) to carry the door. Order the intermediate to match the offset and hand of that set. If you are building the whole opening from scratch rather than adding support to an existing one, a complete 3/4 inch offset set such as the Calibre Door Closers PV1000 flush pivot set is the starting point.
4) Does the ABH 019 pivot meet Buy American requirements for a federal job?
BAA qualified, yes. If you are spec'ing hardware into a government or municipal project with Buy American Act procurement language, the 019 clears that requirement. That plus the 3 hour UL listing is usually the pair of boxes a federal or institutional submittal needs checked on a pivot.
5) Should I use an intermediate pivot or just add another hinge to a tall door?
If the door is already hung on offset pivots, the answer is an intermediate pivot, not a hinge. A hinge pivots on the face of the frame; an offset hung door rotates about a point 3/4 inch off the door face, and a hinge cannot follow that arc. The 019 mortises into the side jamb and the hinge edge and runs on stainless steel needle bearings, so it takes the alignment load without fighting the top and bottom pivots. Hinges belong on butt hung doors, and pivots on offset hung ones. Do not mix the two in one opening.
6) Is a stainless steel pivot going to hold up in a high traffic entry or an exterior opening?
The 019 is a heavy duty commercial pivot with a stainless steel base and heavy duty stainless steel needle bearings, which is the construction you want on an opening that cycles hard all day, like a school corridor, a hospital wing, or a retail entrance. Needle bearings are what keep the swing smooth as the door racks over years of use rather than developing drag. Stainless also handles the humidity and washdown you see in healthcare and food service.
7) Do I need to cut a mortise for the ABH 019, or does it surface mount?
It mortises. The 019 requires a pocket cut in the side jamb and a matching one in the hinge edge of the door, so on a retrofit you are pulling the door and routing both. That is a shop or on-site machining job, not a screw-on install. ABH publishes a template for the 3/4 inch offset intermediate pivot, and a cut sheet with the dimensions, both of which you want in hand before anyone touches a router.
8) Can I substitute the ABH 019 for the intermediate pivot another manufacturer specified on my drawings?
Often, but it has to go through the spec process rather than being swapped on site, because an intermediate pivot's mortise prep is brand specific and a substitution on a fire rated opening touches the listing. ABH publishes a pivots cross reference chart that maps competitor pivot numbers to their equivalents, and a substitution request form for getting the change approved by the architect. Pull the cross reference first to confirm the 019 is the match for what was specified, then submit the request.
9) Is a pivot set enough for a tall door, or is an intermediate pivot also needed?
A pivot set such as the BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set or the Calibre Door Closers PV1000 3/4 inch offset flush pivot set establishes the top and bottom pivot points. On doors taller than 60 inches, the ABH 019 intermediate pivot adds the mid-height support that keeps the door in alignment, with an additional 019 for each further 30 inches of height. It is stainless steel with heavy duty stainless steel needle bearings, handed left or right, and mortises into the side jamb and hinge edge of the door.
10) What finishes does the ABH 019 intermediate pivot come in, and can I match the rest of my door hardware?
Fourteen finishes, each available in both hands: painted aluminum, painted brass, painted bronze, painted black, painted dark bronze, painted white, satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze, bright chrome, bright brass, bright stainless steel, satin stainless steel, satin brass and bright bronze. The painted options are there to disappear into a painted frame, which matters because an intermediate pivot sits mid-height on the jamb where it is at eye level. If you are standardizing a building, pick the finish once and the same choice covers every opening regardless of hand.
11) Is the ABH 019 pivot electrified or can it transfer power to the door?
No power transfer. The 019 is a mechanical pivot only, with no electrical option, so if the opening needs power at the door for an electric strike, an electrified lock or a card reader, that has to come from a separate power transfer device or an electrified hinge elsewhere in the frame. Plan that into the opening before the jamb is prepped.
12) I have an unusual opening, can ABH lay out pivots for a non-standard door?
Yes. ABH takes special layout orders for pivots and pivot sets on a dedicated form, which is the route for doors that fall outside the standard 60 inch plus 30 inch increment pattern, unusual frame conditions, or openings where the intermediate pivot locations have to be set to particular heights. There is also a pivot set configurations document that shows how the top, intermediate and bottom pieces combine. Work those out before the frames are ordered, since the jamb prep gets cut to the layout.
