Ives 7215 SET RH US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How heavy a door can Ives 7215 pivots carry?
Up to 500 pounds. That is the rated maximum door weight for the 7215 offset pivot set, which is why it is classed heavy duty and commercial rather than a light interior pivot. Because it is offset hung with a top header mount and a bottom jamb mount, the leaf weight goes down into the floor and building structure instead of hanging off the frame, which is what lets it take a door that heavy. Exposed parts are brass, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1.
2) What do I have to order to hang one door on Ives 7215 pivots?
For a complete opening, order the 7215S, which is the top and bottom base set. The halves are also sold on their own: 7215T is the top base and 7215B the bottom base, which is what you want when you are replacing one end rather than the whole hanging. The intermediate pivot is its own part number, the 7215INT. Handing is part of every order, left hand or right hand, and finish is specified separately.
3) Is the Ives 7215 pivot handed, or does one part number cover both swings?
Handed. Ives lists the 7215 as a handed pivot, and it is ordered specifically as Left Hand or Right Hand, so the swing has to be settled before the order goes in. Hand is called from outside the opening: stand on the outside face, and if the pivot edge is on your right and the leaf swings away from you, that is right hand.
4) My frames are prepped for a 1-1/2 inch offset pivot. Will the Ives 7215 drop into that prep?
No. The 7215 is a 3/4 inch offset pivot, and the offset dimension has to match what the frame and door are prepped for, since it sets where the pivot point sits off the door edge. A 3/4 inch pivot in a 1-1/2 inch offset prep puts the door in the wrong place and the swing will not clear. For a 1-1/2 inch offset opening, the Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass intermediate pivot; note it is the intermediate only, not a top and bottom set.
5) What is the closest cross-brand match to the Ives 7215 top pivot on a 3/4 inch offset hung door?
The Ives 7215 top pivot mounts to the header as part of a heavy duty brass offset hung set rated for doors up to 500 lbs, with a 20 minute fire rating and 3/16 inch of positive locking vertical adjustment. The Dormakaba 75120 shares the same 3/4 inch offset hung geometry, but it is a full mortise standard duty top pivot, so the frame prep differs and its specs list it at standard duty rather than heavy duty. If the door prep is already cut for a header mounted offset pivot, the Ives 7215T top base is the direct part; if the frame is prepped full mortise, the 75120 is the one that drops into that prep.
6) A tall door needs an intermediate pivot with the Ives 7215 set - which intermediate pivots work with a 3/4 inch offset?
Ives offers the 7215INT intermediate pivot within the same 3/4 inch offset family, so it lines up with the 7215 top and bottom bases on the same pivot centerline. From Dormakaba, the 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot and its specs list it as heavy duty and fire rated. The Dormakaba 15220 is also an intermediate pivot, but it is built to a 1-1/2 inch offset, which is a different pivot centerline than the 3/4 inch offset the Ives 7215 set establishes - the intermediate has to match the offset of the top and bottom pivots or the door will bind.
7) The door weighs more than 500 pounds and is solid wood - what pivot should be used instead of the Ives 7215?
The Ives 7215 offset pivot set is rated for a maximum door load of 500 lbs. For a wood door or a door running past that, the Dormakaba 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, and its specs list it as heavy duty and fire rated. The 7471K is a floor pivot set that side loads the door into place, a different mounting approach than the header mounted top and jamb mounted bottom pivots of the Ives 7215.
8) Only the bottom pivot is worn - what are the options for replacing just the bottom half?
Ives sells the 7215B bottom base on its own, so the header mounted top pivot can stay in place and only the bottom is swapped, keeping the same 3/4 inch offset and the brass construction of the rest of the set. The Hager 497 is another heavy duty bottom pivot, a forged bronze full mortise unit with a ball bearing, but its specs list no fire rating and it is a full mortise part, so it needs full mortise prep in the frame rather than the jamb mount prep the Ives 7215 bottom uses. On a rated opening where the existing pivots are Ives 7215, the 7215B keeps the 20 minute fire rating intact.
9) Can a Hager 253 reinforcing pivot be used in place of the Ives 7215?
No - 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; it is added to a door that still hangs on hinges to help carry the load. The Ives 7215 is the hanging hardware itself, an offset hung top and bottom pivot set that carries the whole door on the pivot points for loads up to 500 lbs. A door hung on the 7215 has no hinges for a reinforcing pivot to reinforce, and the Hager 253 specs list no fire rating where the Ives 7215 carries a 20 minute rating.
10) The hardware schedule calls for ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 pivots. Does the Ives 7215 meet that?
It does, and the number to put on the submittal is ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07031, Grade 1. The 7215 is a heavy duty commercial offset pivot set rated to 500 pounds with UL 10C approval at 20 minutes, so for a facility standardizing on Grade 1 pivot hung openings it lines up with the spec as written.
11) Can a door hung on Ives 7215 pivots be adjusted after it is installed?
There is 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment built into the 7215, with a positive lock that holds the setting once you have it. That is enough to bring a dropping leaf back up, even out the head clearance, or set the gap over a threshold without pulling the door off the opening. Past 3/16 inch you are re-prepping the door or frame, not adjusting the pivot, so the shim and prep need to be close at install.
12) Will an Ives 7215 offset pivot work on aluminum storefront doors and frames?
The 7215 is a brass heavy duty offset pivot built around a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness and doors up to 500 pounds, which is a different class of opening than light aluminum entrance work. Where the job is aluminum doors and frames, the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 Series intermediate pivots are made for that, and the IP-12 is non handed. For an Arch or Vistawall storefront, the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series is a 1/8 inch recessed pivot set. Our records list all of those as standard duty and not fire rated, so they are not a substitute on a rated opening.
13) What is the difference between an offset pivot set like the Ives 7215 and a reinforcing pivot?
The 7215 hangs the door. Top and bottom pivots carry the entire leaf, up to 500 pounds, with nothing else supporting it. A reinforcing pivot does not hang anything; it works alongside butt hinges to take load off them on a door that is already hinge hung. The Hager 253 is that type, a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges, zinc plated, listed for a 1-3/4 inch door and not fire rated on our records. Sagging hinge hung door, the 253 is the fix. Pivot hanging the opening from scratch, it is the 7215.
14) For a heavy wood door, should I use offset pivots or a floor pivot set?
The Ives 7215 is an offset pivot set that mounts to the header at the top and the jamb at the bottom, rated to 500 pounds, and it drives the door weight into the floor and structure rather than the frame. The Dorma 7471K is the floor pivot alternative, a side load floor pivot set that Dormakaba recommends for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds, heavy duty and fire rated on our records. Side load matters on the install: the leaf goes in from the side instead of being lifted and dropped onto a fixed pin, which is worth having on a heavy wood door in a tight opening.
15) I only need the bottom pivot for a 20 minute rated opening. Can I buy the Ives 7215 bottom by itself?
Yes. The bottom base is ordered as the 7215B, separately from the top base (7215T) and from the complete set (7215S), and it is handed left or right like the rest of the line. The UL 10C 20 minute fire approval is carried on the 7215. One thing that is not a straight swap on a rated opening: the Hager 497 is a heavy duty forged bronze full mortise bottom pivot, but our record lists it as not fire rated.
16) Is there a pivot that does not have to be ordered handed, the way the Ives 7215 does?
The Ives 7215 is a handed pivot and is ordered left hand or right hand for the set, the bottom base and the intermediate pivot. If handing is the sticking point on a fleet of openings, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 Series intermediate pivot for aluminum doors and frames is non handed, so one part number covers both swings. The IP-12 differs in what it is built for: its specs list standard duty and no fire rating, against the Ives 7215 heavy duty rating for doors up to 500 lbs with a 20 minute fire rating.
17) The door is light and the opening is not rated - is there a simpler pivot than a 500 lb heavy duty set?
For openings that do not call for a heavy duty offset set, the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series is a pivot set with a 1/8 inch recessed prep for Arch and Vistawall framing, listed as standard duty and not fire rated. The Dormakaba 75120 is another standard duty option, a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise top pivot whose specs do list a fire rating. The Ives 7215 sits above both as a heavy duty brass set certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 for doors up to 500 lbs, which is what the door weight and the rating on the opening decide between.
18) Is there an electrified Ives 7215 pivot for getting power to the door?
No. The 7215 is a mechanical offset pivot with no electrical option in the line. If the leaf carries an electric lock, an electrified exit device, or a monitored contact, the power has to come through a separate transfer device or door cord in the opening; the pivot will not carry it. Plan that transfer into the frame prep at the same time as the pivot prep so it is not being cut in later.
19) Existing openings use satin chrome Dormakaba pivots - can the Ives 7215 be matched to them?
The Ives 7215 offset pivot set is offered in 626 Satin Chrome along with 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 643E Aged Bronze, 689 Aluminum Painted, 691 Bronze Painted, 695 Dark Bronze and 706 Brass Painted. The Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot and the Dormakaba 7471K floor pivot set are both named in satin chrome, so a building standardized on satin chrome pivot hardware can add Ives 7215 sets in 626 and stay on the same finish across the doors.
