Hager 500 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 500 center hung pivot hold a solid core door, or do I need something heavier?
The Hager 500 is rated to 80 lbs, on doors up to 3 feet wide by 7 feet high and 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. That covers a typical hollow metal or standard interior door, but a solid core wood door at 3-0 x 7-0 will usually run well past 80 lbs, and so will anything with glass in it. For those, step up to a heavy duty set: the Ives 7253 is rated 300 lb, the Ives 7255 500 lb, and the Ives 7256 600 lb with a bottom base mount. Weigh the leaf, don't eyeball it.
2) Does my frame need anything special to take a center hung pivot like the Hager 500?
Yes, and this is the detail that stops most jobs. A center hung door swings on an axis inside the opening, so the frame cannot have a door stop at the head or at the pivot jamb. If your frame is a standard stopped hollow metal frame, the door will bind. Both leaves also get mortised into the door and frame, top and bottom, so the frame needs to be prepped for the pocket, not just drilled.
3) Is the Hager 500 pivot handed? Do I need to order left or right?
Non-handed, so one part number covers both hands and you can stock a single set for a building with doors swinging both ways. It is single acting though, meaning the door swings one direction only. If you need a door that pushes both ways, this is the wrong pivot; the Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung set for wood or steel doors.
4) Can I use the Hager 500 pivot on an aluminum storefront door?
No. The Hager 500 is a full mortise center hung pivot for standard doors, and it needs a mortise pocket routed in the door and frame, which an aluminum stile will not give you. Aluminum entrances take an offset or recessed pivot matched to the door line: Kaba Ilco makes the IL-OP-12 Series for Amarlite and Trulite style doors, IL-OP-13 for 1/8 inch recessed aluminum doors and YKK style, IL-OP-14 for US Aluminum and Arcadia, and IL-OP-15 for Pittco and Efco. Identify the door manufacturer first, then pick the series.
5) Will the Hager 500 pivot work on a double acting door that swings both ways?
No. The Hager 500 is a single acting center hung pivot with a 105 degree maximum opening. For a door that swings in both directions, the Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung pivot set for wood or steel doors rated up to 440 lb. Single acting and double acting sets are not interchangeable in the same door prep, so decide the swing before the door is machined.
6) Do I get both the top and bottom pivot with the Hager 500, or are they sold separately?
The Hager 500 is a top and bottom set, so one order covers the full hang for the door. Fasteners for wood are 1-1/4 inch flat head screws; machine screws for metal applications are supplied on request, so say up front which substrate you are going into. You will also want the manufacturer templates before routing, since both leaves get mortised.
7) Is the Hager 500 pivot rated for a high traffic entrance?
It is a standard duty pivot, brass construction, intended for commercial openings that see normal use: offices, classrooms, tenant corridors. For a main entrance, a vestibule, or anything cycling constantly, go heavy duty instead. The Dorma 8062 walking beam center hung top pivot and the Ives 7253, 7255 and 7256 sets are all heavy duty rated.
8) Can the Hager 500 pivot carry power to an electrified lock?
No. The Hager 500 is a mechanical pivot with no electrical transfer. If the door needs power at the leaf for an electric strike, mag lock or electrified lever, you need a separate power transfer or an electric hinge on the opening; the pivot will not do it.
9) What is a center hung pivot actually for, versus just using butt hinges?
A center hung pivot puts the swing axis inside the door instead of at the hinge jamb, so the leaf rotates about a point roughly centered in the door thickness. You use it when hinges will not work: no stop in the frame, a door too heavy or wide for butts to control, or an application where you want the hardware concealed rather than a row of knuckles down the edge. The tradeoff is prep. The Hager 500 mortises both leaves into the door and frame at top and bottom, and the frame must be stop-free at the head and pivot jamb, so it is a decision you make at the frame, not a swap you do later.
10) Is the Dorma 8062 walking beam top pivot an equivalent to the Hager 500?
No. The Hager 500 is a standard duty top and bottom center hung pivot set supplied for the whole opening. The Dorma 8062 is a heavy duty walking beam center hung complete top pivot with cover plate, meaning it addresses the head of the door only and pairs with a separate bottom pivot or floor closer. Ordering it as a one for one replacement leaves the bottom of the door unaddressed.
11) What finishes does the Hager 500 pivot come in?
Three: 605 bright brass, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. For matching a building already standardized on satin chrome trim, 626 is the one; 605 bright brass pairs with older brass hardware sets. Note the pivot is mortised and largely concealed once hung, so the finish only shows at the exposed leaf edges.
12) For a standardized run of light interior commercial doors, which center hung pivot fits without over-specifying?
The Hager 500 is the standard duty choice in this group: brass construction, non-handed, center hung, for commercial doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick up to 80 lbs and 3' by 7'. The Ives 7253, 7255, 7255J and 7256 sets are all heavy duty and run from 300 lb to 600 lb capacity, which suits heavier or labeled openings. For a fleet of unrated interior doors within the 80 lb range, the Hager 500 covers top and bottom in a single non-handed set with one part number across the doors.
