Dorma 75200 Electrified Thru-Wire 3/4" Offset Right Hand Intermediate Pivot For Power Transfer

Both hands are available. The 75200 is a handed intermediate pivot, and it is ordered as either LH or RH, so the hand has to match the door it is going on. There is no field-reversible version of it. Pull the hand off the opening before you order: stand on the outside of the door and note which side the pivots are on. Getting this wrong on an electrified pivot is worse than on a plain one, because the wire path through the pivot is handed along with the body.

The 75200 is the power transfer. It is a thru-wire intermediate pivot: the wiring runs from the frame, through the pivot body, and into the door, so power reaches an electric strike, an electrified lock, a mag hold-open, or a card reader on the door leaf without a surface door loop or an electric power transfer hinge. That is the whole reason to spend the money on it instead of a plain intermediate pivot. If the door already carries an armored door loop and you are happy with it, you do not need this part; if you want the wire hidden and the hardware to look like a standard offset pivot set, this is the piece that does it.

Don-Jo publishes a fire rating for both electrified intermediate pivots in its E8WIP family: the E8WIP34 and the E8WIP-34-RHR, both heavy duty, both a 5 by 4-1/4 inch leaf with a 3/4 inch offset. The E8WIP-34-RHR is the right hand reverse unit and is rated to 600 lb. On a labeled assembly the pivot is part of what the label covers, so match the rating on the hardware to the label on the door and frame before ordering, and keep the offset consistent with the closer and top pivot already on the opening.

The Don-Jo E8WIP34 is built for the same job. Don-Jo lists it as an electrified intermediate pivot with a 3/4 inch offset and a 5 by 4-1/4 inch leaf, heavy duty, and fire rated. The Dorma 75200 is an electrified pivot for offset hung doors, carrying power through the pivot point, and it is ordered as model 75200 in left hand or right hand. When you cross between the two, confirm the offset first, because that sets where the door face sits relative to the frame, then check the leaf footprint against the prep already cut in the door and frame.

Not if anything on the door needs power. The Dorma 75200 is an electrified pivot, and the electrified function is the whole point of it: the wire runs through the pivot point so an electric lock, electric strike, or electrified exit device mounted on the door gets its feed without a surface loop or a door cord. A non-electrified pivot will hang the door in the same offset hung position and nothing else. If the replacement has to keep the power transfer, the cross-brand counterpart is the Don-Jo E8WIP34, which is likewise an electrified intermediate pivot with a 3/4 inch offset and a 5 by 4-1/4 inch leaf.

Eight finishes, in both hands: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 690 dark bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Those are BHMA finish numbers, so matching is straightforward, order the same number that is stamped on the closer, exit device, or lock trim already on the openings. If the building standard is 626 satin chrome, which it usually is on commercial aluminum and hollow metal, the 75200 comes in it.

Two dimensions decide it. Don-Jo publishes a 3/4 inch offset and a 5 by 4-1/4 inch leaf for the E8WIP34, so measure the routed pocket in the door and the corresponding cut in the frame against that footprint, and confirm the offset matches what the top pivot and the closer on the opening were set for - mixing offsets throws the door out of alignment across the whole hanging set. The Dorma 75200 is an offset hung electrified pivot as well, so the third thing to verify is that the wire route through the frame lines up, since both units bring the feed through the pivot rather than around it.

Commercial. The 75200 is a commercial door hardware pivot and it is built for offset hung entrance doors of the sort you find on storefronts, institutional buildings, and multi-family common areas, not for interior residential doors on butt hinges. If you are working a residential opening on standard hinges, a pivot set is not what you need at all.
