Deltana PH40 Pivot Hinge, 4-3/8" x 5/8" x 1-7/8", Solid Brass (Pair)

Only if that door comes in at 70 lbs or under. Deltana rates the PH40 pair up to 70 lbs and classes it light duty on a plain bearing, so it belongs on light interior doors. Weigh the slab before you commit; if it goes over 70 lbs, the pivot is the wrong part and you want a heavy duty pivot instead, such as the Don-Jo BP-1-34 bottom pivot rated at 600 lbs.

That is what it is for. Deltana lists the PH40 as double action, and the pair covers both the top and the bottom pivot, so the door swings either way instead of being held to one hand like a butt hinge. Typical spots are pantry, service, and light cafe style openings. The pivots carry and locate the door only; if the door has to close or re-center itself, that comes from a separate device.

One pair, top pivot and bottom pivot, enough for a single door. Fastening is with #10 x 1 inch wood screws, and there is no machine screw in the set, so plan on a wood door and a substrate that will hold a wood screw rather than a hollow metal frame. The pivots are solid brass, 0.250 inch thick stock.

The Deltana PH40 pivot hinge carries a fire rating of No, so a labeled opening needs a pivot that is rated. Among the comparable pivots, the Don-Jo BP-1-34-LHR and BP-1-34-RHR bottom pivots are both fire rated and heavy duty, the Don-Jo BP-2-34 bottom pivot is fire rated and heavy duty, and the McKinney PH-4 pocket pivot hinge is fire rated at standard duty. The Don-Jo BP-1 is ordered by hand, left hand reverse as BP-1-34-LHR and right hand reverse as BP-1-34-RHR, so confirm the swing before ordering.

The Deltana PH40 is a light duty pivot rated for doors up to 70 lbs, so a heavier leaf calls for a heavy duty bottom pivot. The Don-Jo BP-1-34-RHR is a 5-1/2 x 4-3/4 inch bottom pivot with 3/4 inch offset and 600 lb capacity in right hand reverse, and the BP-1-34-LHR is the left hand reverse version of the same 5-1/2 x 4-3/4 inch, 3/4 inch offset pivot. The Don-Jo BP-2-34 is a bottom pivot at 8-7/16 x 1-3/16 inches with 3/4 inch offset and 600 lb capacity. All three are heavy duty. Note that the PH40 supplies both the top and bottom pivot as a pair, while those Don-Jo parts are bottom pivots, so a top pivot is a separate line on the order.

Each piece measures 4-3/8 x 5/8 x 1-7/8 inches in 0.250 inch brass. Mounting method is offset, meaning the pivot point sits away from the door edge rather than on the centerline of the edge, which is what gives the door its clearance to swing past the frame. Lay the 4-3/8 inch dimension against your head jamb and floor prep before you cut anything.

Different scope and a different class of opening. The PH40 is a complete pair, top and bottom, light duty, rated up to 70 lbs, in solid brass with a decorative finish. The Don-Jo BP-1-34 is the bottom pivot on its own, 5-1/2 x 4-3/4 inches with a 3/4 inch offset, heavy duty, fire rated, handed left hand reverse or right hand reverse, at 600 lbs. They are not swaps for each other: the Don-Jo still needs a top pivot to make a set, and the two are prepped at different sizes.

Not for an entrance. At light duty on a plain bearing with a 70 lb ceiling, the PH40 is built for light interior swing doors, and it has no non-removable pin feature to consider for an outswinging exterior leaf. For an entrance or a door cycling all day, go to a heavy duty offset pivot set: International Door Closers offers the OP-2700 offset pivot set for flush doors, and Don-Jo offers the heavy duty BP-1-34 and BP-2-34 bottom pivots.

The Deltana PH40 is listed for double action service and is ordered as a pair with no hand called out on the finish options. Among the comparable pivots the answer varies by part: the International Door Closers OP-2700 3/4 inch offset pivot set for flush doors is non-handed, while the OP-3001 and OP-4001 offset pivot sets for flush doors are handed. The Don-Jo BP-1 bottom pivot is ordered by hand as well, BP-1-34-LHR for left hand reverse and BP-1-34-RHR for right hand reverse. Establish the swing before ordering any of the handed parts.

The Deltana PH40 is solid brass and comes in PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Paint Black, so it can be run to match lever and pull finishes across an opening. The comparable Don-Jo HRP-1 reinforcing pivot is heavy-duty steel in a satin chrome finish, a single finish intended for service rather than a decorative range. The International Door Closers offset pivot sets are identified by series, the OP-2700 in the 2000 Series and the OP-3001 in the 3000 Series.

No, they are different parts even though both carry a 3/4 inch class of offset geometry. The Don-Jo HRP-1 is a reinforcing pivot with 3/4 inch offset in heavy-duty steel with a satin chrome finish, rated heavy duty and fire rated. The Deltana PH40 is supplied as a pair that covers both the top and the bottom pivot point with offset mounting, plain bearing, in solid brass. The HRP-1 on its own does not fill both pivot points the way the PH40 pair does. If the goal is a heavy duty bottom pivot, the Don-Jo BP-1-34-LHR or BP-1-34-RHR is the closer match.

Ten finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. All ten are on the same solid brass pivot, so you can standardize a run of doors on one finish and keep the same hardware underneath.

Deltana rates the PH40 for commercial use, but read that alongside the duty level: light duty, plain bearing, 70 lbs. It suits light commercial swing doors, closet and pantry doors, and back of house openings in an office or hospitality space. It is not fire rated, so it stays off labeled openings, and it is not the pivot for a heavy or hard-worked door.

They solve different openings. The McKinney PH-4 is a pocket pivot hinge, rated standard duty and fire rated. The Deltana PH40 is an offset mount pivot supplied as a pair for the top and bottom pivot points, listed for double action, light duty, doors up to 70 lbs, in solid brass with a plain bearing. The similar model numbers make these easy to confuse on a purchase order, so confirm whether the door needs a pocket pivot or a top and bottom offset pivot pair before ordering.
