Dorma 8062 Walking Beam Center Hung Complete Top Pivot With Cover Plate

No. The 8062 walking beam top pivot is not recommended where an overhead stop or holder is used. For that opening you want the HD8062 instead. Single acting installations also need an applied stop, since the pivot itself does not stop the door.

The 8062 handles door clearances of 1/8 inch, 3/8 inch, or 3/4 inch, so it covers both a tight-fit door and a door hung with a wide reveal at the top. Lateral adjustment in the pivot lets you bring the door plumb after it is hung, which is what saves you when the frame is not perfectly square.

It ships as a complete top pivot: the walking beam pivot itself, the cover plate, and the machine screws to mount it. It is the top half of a center hung installation, so the opening still needs a bottom pivot or a floor closer spindle to carry the door. If you are single acting, budget for an applied door stop too.

The 8062 is built for a standard commercial door hung on center, not for the offset pivot prep an aluminum storefront usually carries. Storefront doors are typically cut for a specific manufacturer's offset pivot: Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 for Amarlite and Trulite style doors, IL-OP-14 for US Aluminum and Arcadia, IL-OP-15 for Pittco and Efco, and IL-OP-13 as a 1/8 inch recessed set for aluminum doors and frames including YKK. Match the pivot to the door manufacturer, not to the size.

No, those are different hanging methods and are not interchangeable. The Dorma 8062 is a center hung top pivot, where the door swings on an axis near the center of the door thickness. The Kaba Ilco IL-OP series are offset pivot hinges cut for specific aluminum door lines: the IL-OP-12 Series for Armalite and Trulite style doors, the IL-OP-14 Series for US Aluminum and Arcadia style doors, and the IL-OP-15 Series for Pittco and Efco style doors. If the storefront door is already prepped for an offset pivot, match the IL-OP series to the door line rather than substituting a center hung pivot. The IL-OP pivots are standard duty; the 8062 is heavy duty.

A single acting pivot such as the Dorma 8062 swings one way and must use an applied stop, so it will not serve a door that swings both directions. For double acting service the Hager hospital pivot sets are the ones built for it: the Hager 510 Camtrol is a double acting hospital pivot set for wood floors, and the Hager 512 Camtrol is a double acting surface hospital pivot set for masonry floor applications. Both are heavy duty. Pick between them by the floor you are anchoring into.

It is concealed with the door closed, which is why it gets specified on entrances where the architect does not want visible hinges. The cover plate finishes the head, and you can order it to match the rest of the opening in bright brass (605), oil rubbed bronze (613), bright chrome (625), satin chrome (626), bright stainless (629), or satin stainless (630).

It is a heavy duty commercial pivot, and the standard build uses needle bearings with hardened pins for the cycle life a busy entrance demands. That bearing detail is the difference between a pivot that stays quiet and one that starts to drag after a season of traffic.

Satin chrome is finish 626, ordered as 8 062 626 in Dormakaba's numbering. The same pivot is also built in 605, 613, 625, 629, and 630, so a property standardizing across a building can hold one pivot model and change only the finish code.

A center hung top pivot like the 8062 hangs the door on its own center line and stays hidden when closed, which suits an entrance or a door running on a floor closer. A hospital pivot set is the choice where the door has to swing both ways and be pushed through with a cart or a bed. For that, the Hager 510 Camtrol double acting set is made for wood floors, the 511 mortises into a masonry floor, and the 512 is a surface mount for masonry. All three are heavy duty.

For a lighter interior door, the Hager 500 is a full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion in standard weight brass, rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The 8062 is the heavy duty side of that choice, so pick by the weight of the door leaf and the traffic it sees rather than by the prep.

Both hang the door center hung, but they are built for different service. The Dorma 8062 is a heavy duty walking beam top pivot with needle bearings and hardened pins, furnished with a cover plate and machine screws, and it accommodates door clearances of 1/8, 3/8, or 3/4 inch. The Hager 500 is a standard duty full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion in brass construction, and it lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Neither is fire rated. Choose by the weight and traffic of the door and by whether the frame is prepped for a full mortise pivot.

The Dorma 8062 is a heavy duty center hung top pivot furnished with machine screws and a cover plate, and it does not address the floor condition. Where the floor is masonry and a hospital pivot is wanted, the Hager 511 is a mortise hospital pivot set for masonry floor installation and the Hager 512 Camtrol is a surface hospital pivot set for masonry floor applications, mortise versus surface being the working difference between them. Both are heavy duty and neither is fire rated.

They solve different openings. The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13 Series is a 1/8 inch recessed pivot set for aluminum doors and frames in YKK style doors, a standard duty part matched to a specific aluminum door line. The Dorma 8062 is a heavy duty center hung top pivot for a standard commercial door, concealed when the door is closed, and it accommodates door clearances of 1/8, 3/8, or 3/4 inch. Confirm whether the door is an aluminum entrance prepped for a recessed offset pivot or a standard door hung on center before ordering either.

No power transfer here. The 8062 is a purely mechanical pivot, so if the opening needs an electric strike, a maglock, or power to a lock in the leaf, that has to come through a separate transfer hinge or a power transfer device.
