ABH CME0345-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much door weight will the ABH CME0345 electrified top pivot carry?
The CME0345 center hung top pivot is rated extra heavy duty for doors up to 300 lbs. That covers the heavy aluminum, hollow metal, and glass-front leaves you find on main entrances and high-traffic commercial openings. It is a commercial-duty pivot, not a light interior part.
2) Do I have to specify handing when I order this ABH electrified pivot?
No handing to call out. The CME0345 is a non-handed top pivot, so the same part works on a left hand or right hand swing. That also means you can stock one pivot for openings that swing both ways across a building instead of carrying a pair.
3) How does the ABH CME0345 monitor whether the door is closed?
Monitoring is built into the pivot itself. The CME0345 carries a concealed magnetic monitor switch with thru wires, so door position reports back to the access control or security panel without a separate surface or recessed door contact in the frame. Nothing is visible on the face of the door or jamb, which is why it gets specified where a mounted contact would be tampered with or would spoil the look of a glass entrance.
4) What does center hung mean for how the ABH CME0345 mortises into the door and frame?
Center hung means the door pivots on an axis roughly at the centerline of the door thickness rather than swinging off the edge. On the CME0345 the jamb leaf mortises into the header and the door leaf mortises into the top of the door, so both preps are cuts you make in the head and the top rail, not on the hinge stile. Plan the frame prep before the door is hung; retrofitting a center hung pivot into an opening prepped for butt hinges or an offset pivot is a different prep entirely.
5) Can I use the ABH CME0345 electrified pivot on a fire rated door?
No. The CME0345 is not fire rated, so it should not go on a labeled fire door assembly. If the opening carries a label, look at a fire rated pivot set instead: the BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set is fire rated and is the one to price out for that condition.
6) Is the ABH CME0345 a complete pivot set or just the top pivot?
Top pivot only. The CME0345 is the electrified top half, so a bottom pivot is a separate line on the order. ABH publishes pivot set configuration and center hung configuration sheets that show which top and bottom pivots go together, and there is a special layout order form for openings that need a non-standard arrangement.
7) What pivot should be used instead of the ABH CME0345 on a fire rated opening?
The ABH CME0345 electrified top pivot is not fire rated, so on an opening that has to carry a fire label the BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set is the one to specify, since it is fire rated. Both are offset hung pivot sets, so the mounting approach at the header is the same family of prep; the difference that decides it is the label. Where the CME0345 fits is the extra heavy duty electrified application - doors up to 300 lbs with a concealed magnetic monitor switch and thru wires for access control - so on a project with both labeled and monitored openings, the two are commonly used side by side rather than one replacing the other.
8) Does the ABH CME0345 pivot qualify for a Buy American Act job?
Yes, the CME0345 is BAA qualified, which is what federal, municipal, and many state-funded projects require on the hardware schedule. Combined with the stainless steel substrate, it is the pivot spec that tends to survive a government submittal review.
9) How do I wire the monitor switch on the ABH CME0345 into my access control panel?
The pivot comes with thru wires from the concealed magnetic switch, terminated on ABH's EZ Connect Micro-Fit 3.0 connector. ABH publishes a wire color and position diagram for that connector, which is what the integrator needs to land the leads correctly at the panel end. Run the wiring path through the header during frame prep; there is no way to add it after the door is hung.
10) Should I use a center hung pivot or an offset pivot on a heavy entrance door?
Center hung, like the CME0345, puts the pivot axis near the middle of the door thickness so the leaf swings in both directions and the door edge does not sweep outside the frame line. That is the choice for balanced heavy doors and for glass front entrances where you want a clean head detail. Offset pivots hang the door out on an arm so it clears the frame and opens flat against the wall, which is what you want when the door has to lay back for equipment or traffic. Offset flush sets like the Calibre PV1000 3/4 inch offset pivot set are the alternative for that case. The two are not interchangeable, because the frame and door prep are completely different.
11) Can a standard offset pivot set be substituted for the ABH CME0345 on a monitored door?
No - a standard offset pivot looks like a drop-in but does not do the same job. The Calibre Door Closers PV1000 3/4 inch offset flush pivot set and the BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set are both offset hung pivot sets and will hang the door, but the CME0345 is the electrified version, with the magnetic monitor switch concealed in the pivot and thru wires for the access control tie-in. If the door has to report position or pass power through the top of the door, substituting a mechanical pivot leaves that circuit with nothing to land on. Also worth confirming before substituting: the CME0345 is BAA qualified, which matters on government and institutional work.
12) What finishes does the ABH CME0345 top pivot come in?
Fourteen finishes, so it can be matched to whatever is already on the entrance: bright and satin stainless steel, bright chrome, bright and satin brass, bright and satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze, painted aluminum, painted brass, painted satin bronze, painted dark bronze, and black or white suede powder coat. The painted and powder coat options are the ones that disappear against a storefront frame; the suede powder coats match dark and white aluminum systems.
13) Will the jamb portion of the ABH CME0345 look finished after install, or do I need a cover?
A dress plate is supplied for the jamb portion, so the header side closes out cleanly without a separately ordered cover. On a glass front or a lobby entrance where the head is at eye level, that matters more than it sounds; you order it in the same finish as the pivot and it is done.
14) Is the ABH CME0345 pivot going to corrode on an exterior entrance?
The substrate is stainless steel, which is the reason this pivot gets used on exterior and high-humidity openings where a plated steel part would rust at the header. Pair that with a powder coat or painted finish if the entrance is coastal or washed down regularly.
