Deltana PH35 3-7/8" x 5/8" x 1-5/8" Pivot Hinge

Double action is exactly what the PH35 is for. The door hangs on a pivot point in the floor and another at the head of the frame, so it pushes open in and out rather than one way only. Nothing mounts on the jamb edge the way a butt hinge does. Cafe doors, pass-through and swinging service doors are the usual use, as long as the leaf stays under the 35 lb limit.

Plate thickness is 0.250 inch, so a quarter inch of relief brings the pivot flush with the face. Each piece measures 3-7/8 x 5/8 x 1-5/8 inches, and it's an offset mount, so the pivot point sits off the door face rather than in the door edge. Screws are #10 x 1 inch wood screws, which means you want a solid inch of wood behind every hole, not a hollow core skin.

The PH35 is a non fire rated pivot, so on a labeled opening go to one of the fire rated pivots instead. The Don-Jo BP-1-34-LHR and BP-1-34-RHR are fire rated heavy duty bottom pivots, 5-1/2 inch x 4-3/4 inch with a 3/4 inch offset, ordered as left hand reverse or right hand reverse. The Don-Jo BP-2-34 is a fire rated heavy duty bottom pivot, 8-7/16 inch x 1-3/16 inch with a 3/4 inch offset and 600 lb capacity. The McKinney PH-4 pocket pivot hinge is standard duty and fire rated. Note the difference in what you are buying: the PH35 is a top and bottom pivot pair, while the BP-1 and BP-2 are bottom pivots.

The PH35 is a light duty pivot rated for doors up to 35 lbs, so a heavy solid core or metal door needs a heavy duty pivot. The Don-Jo BP-1-34-RHR and BP-1-34-LHR are heavy duty bottom pivots at 5-1/2 inch x 4-3/4 inch with a 3/4 inch offset, the RHR listed at 600 lb capacity, and both are handed. The Don-Jo BP-2-34 is a heavy duty bottom pivot at 8-7/16 inch x 1-3/16 inch with a 3/4 inch offset and 600 lb capacity. The Don-Jo HRP-1 is a heavy duty steel reinforcing pivot with the same 3/4 inch offset. All three are Don-Jo bottom or reinforcing pivots rather than the top and bottom pair the PH35 supplies.

The PH35 is an offset mounted top and bottom pivot supplied as a pair for double action openings. The nearest like for like sets are from International Door Closers: the OP-2700 is a 3/4 inch offset pivot set for flush doors in the 2000 Series and is non-handed, and the OP-3001 in the 3000 Series and the OP-4001 in the 4000 Series are 3/4 inch offset pivot sets for flush doors that are handed. All three cover both ends of the door the way the PH35 does. The difference to check first is handing: the PH35 and the OP-2700 do not ask you to pick a hand, while the OP-3001 and OP-4001 do.

Handing doesn't come into it. The PH35 is a double action set, so the door swings both ways and there's no left or right version to call out. Finish is the only thing you pick when ordering. If the job actually calls for a handed offset pivot set, the International Door Closers OP-3001 (3000 Series) and OP-4001 (4000 Series) are handed, and the OP-2700 (2000 Series) is the non-handed one in that line.

Plain bearing, not ball bearing, and the set is light duty with a 35 lb ceiling. That combination is meant for a light door under normal use, not a high traffic opening cycling hundreds of times a day, which is where ball bearing pivots earn their keep. If the opening sees real traffic, step up to the Don-Jo BP-1 bottom pivot, heavy duty with a stated 600 lb capacity.

An offset pivot carries the door on points at the head and floor, set off the face of the door, and the leaf swings on that axis. The PH35 is that type, top and bottom, double action. A pocket pivot such as the McKinney PH-4 throws the door clear of the opening so the leaf pulls back out of the way, which is what you want in a corridor where an open door would block the path. The McKinney is fire rated and standard duty; the PH35 is light duty with a 35 lb limit and no fire rating.

It depends which alternative you move to. The PH35 is a double action offset pivot, meaning it is set up for a door that swings both directions. Among the alternatives, the International Door Closers OP-2700 3/4 inch offset pivot set for flush doors is non-handed, so it ships one way regardless of the opening. The OP-3001 and OP-4001 offset pivot sets for flush doors are handed, and the Don-Jo BP-1-34 bottom pivot is ordered by hand as the BP-1-34-LHR for left hand reverse or the BP-1-34-RHR for right hand reverse. If you are quoting from a door schedule, confirm the swing before you place a handed pivot on the order.

They are different parts and should not be swapped for one another. The HRP-1 is a reinforcing pivot in heavy duty steel with a 3/4 inch offset, supplied in satin chrome. The PH35 is a solid brass top and bottom pivot pair, light duty, plain bearing, for double action openings with doors up to 35 lbs. If the goal is to hang the door at both the head and the floor, the PH35 or an International Door Closers OP-2700 3/4 inch offset pivot set covers both ends; the HRP-1 does not stand in for that pair.

The Deltana PH35 is solid brass and comes in PVD polished brass, oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, antique nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass and antique brass, so it can be run to match lever and pull finishes across a set of doors. The Don-Jo HRP-1 reinforcing pivot is heavy duty steel in satin chrome, which is the utility finish rather than a decorative range. Where the pivot shows on an entry or a storefront style opening and the specification calls for a bronze or nickel, the PH35 finish range is the one that carries those options.

Ten, so matching the rest of the trim on the door is usually straightforward: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Paint Black. The part underneath is solid brass in every one of them, and the PVD Polished Brass is the option to specify where the finish has to hold up to handling and cleaning better than a lacquered brass.

They solve different openings. The McKinney PH-4 is a pocket pivot hinge, standard duty and fire rated. The Deltana PH35 is an offset mounted top and bottom pivot pair in solid brass, light duty for doors up to 35 lbs, with a plain bearing and a double action application, and it is not fire rated. For a labeled opening or one where standard duty is written into the specification, the PH-4 is the one to look at; for a light double action door where the pivot has to match a brass or bronze finish, the PH35 is the one that carries that.

No, the PH35 is mechanical only, with no electrified option and no way to pass wire through it. On a pivot hung door, power gets across the gap with a separate electric power transfer or a surface door loop, specified alongside the pivots rather than in place of them.
