Deltana PB985 Pivot Base, Solid Brass (Each)

The PB985 is the floor-side base only, not a complete pivot. It's a solid brass base that pairs with the Deltana PH60 pivot hinge, and Deltana calls out tile and stone floors as where it earns its keep, since it gives the pivot a finished bearing surface instead of setting hardware straight onto the stone. Order the PH60 pivot hinge separately; the PB985 on its own won't hang a door.

It's rated commercial but standard duty, with a plain bearing rather than a ball bearing. That's fine for an interior office, a residential entry over stone tile, or moderate use. A high cycle main entrance or a heavy door wants heavy duty pivot hardware, the Don-Jo BP-1 or BP-2-34 bottom pivots, or the Don-Jo HRP-1 reinforcing pivot in heavy duty steel.

No. The PB985 is a single pivot base sold each, center hung, top pivot type, solid brass. An offset pivot set such as the International Door Closers OP-2700 is a complete 3/4 inch offset pivot set for flush doors and is non-handed; the OP-3001 in the 3000 Series and the OP-4001 in the 4000 Series are also 3/4 inch offset pivot sets for flush doors but are handed. Those sets hang the door off the jamb at an offset; the PB985 base is a floor side component for a center hung pivot arrangement, so the two are not interchangeable.

One at a time. The unit of measure on the PB985 is each, so a door needing a base at both leaves, or a pair of doors, takes a separate line for each base. Same goes if you're standardizing a run of openings, count the bases, not the doors.

Standard doors. The PB985 is set up for standard door applications in a center hung arrangement, paired with the PH60 pivot hinge. It's the floor base for that assembly, so what matters is that the opening is center hung, not the door material.

Only as part of a Deltana center hung assembly with the PH60 pivot hinge. The PB985 isn't a universal retrofit for another manufacturer's pivot, and swapping just the floor base under a different brand's pivot isn't something to assume will line up. If the existing hardware is an offset pivot rather than center hung, this is the wrong part entirely.

The Deltana PB985 pivot base is ordered by finish, in options including PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome, with no hand to call out. Among the offset pivot sets, the International Door Closers OP-2700 is non-handed, while the OP-3001 and OP-4001 are handed. The Don-Jo bottom pivots are handed by part number: BP-1-34-LHR is left hand reverse and BP-1-34-RHR is right hand reverse. Confirm the swing before ordering any of the handed parts.

The International Door Closers OP-6001/OP-6002 is a 3/4 inch offset pivot set built for 7/64 inch recessed doors, in the 6000 Series. The OP-2700, OP-3001 and OP-4001 offset pivot sets are all specified for flush doors, and the Deltana PB985 pivot base is a center hung component rather than an offset set. Match the pivot set to the door face condition before ordering.

No, they solve different problems. The McKinney PH-4 is a pocket pivot hinge, standard duty and fire rated, used where the door needs to swing clear of the opening. The Deltana PB985 is a solid brass pivot base for a center hung pivot application, standard duty, with no fire rating. Both are standard duty, but the PH-4 replaces the hinge itself while the PB985 is the base a pivot hinge bears on, so one does not stand in for the other.

The Deltana PB985 pivot base is solid brass and comes in Polished Brass, Antique Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Antique Nickel and Paint Black among others, so it can be matched to a decorative finish schedule. The Don-Jo HRP-1 reinforcing pivot is heavy-duty steel in a satin chrome finish, a single finish rather than a range. Where the pivot is visible and the schedule is brass or bronze, the PB985 carries the finish; where it is concealed and the priority is reinforcement, finish matching matters less.

Ten finishes, so it can be matched to whatever else is on the opening: Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Paint Black. If you're matching existing Deltana trim, the PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick over standard Polished Brass where the base sees moisture or foot traffic wear.

No. The PB985 is purely mechanical, with no electrification and no provision for running power through the pivot. If the opening needs power to the door for an electric strike or a mag lock at the leaf, that transfer has to come from a separate power transfer device, not from this base.

No NRP feature on the PB985. That said, a center hung pivot doesn't present a knuckle and pin on the outside of the opening the way a butt hinge does, so the pin-pulling attack NRP exists to defeat isn't the exposure here. If the door swings out and security is the concern, the pin question belongs to whatever butt hinges or offset pivots are also on that opening.
