Ives 7212 SET US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use Ives 7212 offset pivots on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 7212 calls for a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, and the leaf has to be beveled 1/8 inch in 2 inches at the pivot edge. 1-3/8 inch is the usual older interior door thickness, so if that is what you are hanging, this set is not the right pivot. Check the bevel as well as the thickness before you cut the door, a square edge will bind against the frame as the leaf swings on a 3/4 inch offset.
2) Are the Ives 7212 pivots handed, or will one set work on either swing?
Handed. The 7212 is built for a specific hand and you pick right hand or left hand at the time of order, there is no flipping it on the job. Stand outside the opening, on the side the door swings away from you, and the hinge or pivot edge tells you the hand. Getting it wrong means a return, not a field fix.
3) Do I have to buy the whole Ives 7212 pivot set, or can I order just the top or the bottom?
Both ways are available. The 7212S is the top and bottom base together, which is what most openings need. Singles are there if you are only replacing half of an opening: 7212T is the top base and 7212B is the bottom base. The 7212INT covers the intermediate pivot combination, 7212-7212V-7222. On this system the top pivot mounts to the header and the bottom pivot mounts to the jamb, so make sure the piece you order matches the half of the opening you are actually working on.
4) Can Ives 7212 pivots be used on a 20 minute rated fire door?
Yes. The 7212 is UL 10C tested and approved for 20 minutes, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07031. That is the rating an inspector will ask for on a 20 minute opening. Worth knowing when you are comparing: the Hager 497 forged bronze bottom pivot and the Hager 253 full surface reinforcing pivot are not fire rated, so neither one substitutes into a rated opening.
5) I have a tall heavy door on 7212 pivots. Do I need an intermediate pivot in the middle?
Tall or heavy leaves usually want one, and the 7212INT is the intermediate combination for this system, 7212-7212V-7222. If you are sourcing across brands, the Dorma 75220 is also a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, heavy duty and fire rated, so the offset geometry matches. What does not match is the Dormakaba 15220, it is a 1-1/2 inch offset intermediate pivot. Same part name, different offset, and it will not line up on a door hung at 3/4 inch offset.
6) What pivot should I use on an aluminum storefront door instead of the Ives 7212?
The Ives 7212 is specified for a standard commercial door with a minimum thickness of 1-3/4 inches and a 1/8 inch bevel in 2 inches. For aluminum doors and frames, the Kaba Ilco intermediate pivot series are built for that application: the IP-10 series intermediate pivot hinges for aluminum doors and frames, the IP-12 series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames in a non handed configuration, and the IP-22 series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames. For a recessed Arch or Vistawall condition, the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 series is a 1/8 inch recessed pivot set. All four Ilco series are standard duty and carry a fire rating of no, so a rated opening needs a different direction.
7) I only need the top pivot for a 3/4 inch offset hung door. What are my choices?
Within the Ives 7212 family, the 7212T top base is the top half on its own, and it mounts to the header as part of a heavy duty brass set that is UL 10C fire rated for 20 minutes. The Dormakaba 75120 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise standard top pivot, a standard duty part that is also fire rated. The offset dimension is the same 3/4 inch, but the mounting differs: the Ives top is a header mount, while the 75120 is full mortise. Match the mounting style to the prep already cut in the frame.
8) What offset pivot should I use if the door weighs more than 200 pounds?
The Ives 7212 offset pivot set is rated for doors up to 200 pounds, so a heavier leaf needs a different pivot arrangement. The Dormakaba 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, and it is a heavy duty, fire rated set. The two hang the door differently: the 7212 is a 3/4 inch offset system with a top header mount and a bottom jamb mount, while the 7471K carries the load through a floor pivot. Confirm the floor condition and the door prep before switching, because the two are not interchangeable preps.
9) Can a Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot be used on a door hung on Ives 7212 pivots?
No, the offsets do not match. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass right hand intermediate pivot in satin chrome, while the Ives 7212 is built on a 3/4 inch offset. The intermediate pivot has to sit on the same pivot centerline as the top and bottom pivots, so a 1-1/2 inch offset intermediate on a 3/4 inch offset opening will not line up. The 15220 is also specifically right hand, and the 7212 is handed as well, so handing has to be confirmed on either one. For a 3/4 inch offset opening, stay with a 3/4 inch offset intermediate.
10) Which pivots can go on a 20 minute fire rated opening?
The Ives 7212 is UL 10C tested and approved for 20 minutes and carries a fire rating. Among the comparable pivots, the Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot, the Dormakaba 7471K floor pivot set, the Dormakaba 75120 top pivot and the Dormakaba 75220 intermediate pivot all carry a fire rating. The Hager 253 reinforcing pivot, the Hager 497 bottom pivot hinge, and the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10, IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 series all carry a fire rating of no, which puts them on non rated openings. On a rated assembly, verify the rating on every piece of hardware in the opening, not just the pivot.
11) My pivot hung door has settled and drags on the floor. Can the Ives 7212 be adjusted without rehanging it?
There is 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment built into the 7212, with a positive locking mechanism so it stays where you set it once the load comes back on. That is enough to take up normal settling or to level a leaf that is scraping at the strike edge. If the door has dropped further than 3/16 inch, the adjustment will not recover it and the problem is somewhere other than the pivot.
12) Should I hang a heavy commercial door on offset pivots instead of butt hinges?
Offset pivots are the answer when the leaf is heavy enough that the frame becomes the weak point. The 7212 is an offset hung set, top pivot in the header and bottom pivot at the jamb, and it carries the door weight down through the floor and structure rather than hanging all 200 pounds off the frame. Butt hinges load the jamb directly. The trade off is prep: the door needs a 1-3/4 inch minimum thickness with a 1/8 inch bevel in 2 inches, and the set is handed, so it is a decision you make before the door is cut, not after.
13) The bottom pivot is worn out and the top is fine. What replaces just the bottom?
The Ives 7212B bottom base is the bottom half sold on its own, and in the 7212 arrangement the bottom is a jamb mount with a 3/16 inch vertical adjustment and positive locking, which is what lets a sagging door be brought back into alignment during the swap. The Hager 497 is a heavy duty bottom pivot hinge with a ball bearing in forged bronze, full mortise, and it carries a fire rating of no. If the opening is rated, or if the existing top pivot is an Ives 7212 header mount, the 7212B keeps the top and bottom on the same system and the same 3/4 inch offset.
14) Which intermediate pivot goes with a 3/4 inch offset hung door?
The Ives 7212 line includes the 7212INT intermediate option, made up of the 7212, 7212V and 7222 components, for openings where a tall or heavy leaf needs support between the top and bottom pivots. The Dormakaba 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot and is heavy duty and fire rated. Both are built around the same 3/4 inch offset, so the deciding factor is whether the frame is prepped for a full mortise intermediate or for the Ives intermediate components.
15) Is the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot an alternative to the Ives 7212 pivot set?
They solve different problems. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges in a zinc plated finish, listed for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and it is added to a door that already hangs on butt hinges to take load off them. The Ives 7212 is a top and bottom offset hung pivot set that hangs the door itself, with the leaf swinging on a 3/4 inch offset rather than on hinges. If the door is hinge hung and sagging, the 253 is the reinforcing part; if the door is being converted to or replaced on offset pivots, the 7212 is the hanging system. The 253 also carries a fire rating of no.
16) I need pivots to match dark bronze hardware across the rest of my building. What finishes does the Ives 7212 come in?
The 7212 is finished in 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, 643E Aged Bronze, 689 Aluminum Painted, 691 Bronze Painted, 695 Dark Bronze and 706 Brass Painted. For a dark bronze building standard, 695 is the plated match and 691 Bronze Painted is the painted one. Order by the BHMA number rather than the finish name, that is what keeps a standardized building consistent across future replacements.
17) Are Ives 7212 pivots suitable for an exterior or high humidity opening like a pool entry?
All exposed parts on the 7212 are brass, which is the reason to pick it over a plated steel pivot in a wet or salt air environment. Bear in mind the finish is a separate decision from the substrate, so for exterior use pick a finish that suits the exposure. It is a commercial duty pivot rated to 200 pounds, so a heavy exterior entrance leaf is within range as long as you hold the 1-3/4 inch minimum thickness.
18) I need the pivots to match satin chrome hardware already on the building. What matches?
The Ives 7212 is offered in 626 satin chrome along with twelve other finishes including 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil rubbed, 622 matte black and 695 dark bronze, and all exposed parts are brass. The Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot and the Dormakaba 7471K floor pivot set are both satin chrome. The Hager 497 bottom pivot hinge is forged bronze and the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot is zinc plated, which are different base materials rather than plated finishes over brass. For a fleet where the exposed pivot has to read the same across doors, the finish code is the thing to record.
