Ives 7215F SET SP10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How heavy a door can the Ives 7215F pivot set carry?
Up to 500 pounds. That covers heavy wood, hollow metal, and heavy glass entrance doors. The offset design also pushes the load down through the floor and building structure instead of hanging it off the frame, which is why it holds more than hinges on the same opening. Make sure the header and floor have structural support for that 500 pound load before you cut in.
2) Is the Ives 7215F pivot fire rated, and to what standard?
It is. The 7215F carries a UL 10C 3 hour fire rating and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07031. That makes it usable on 3 hour rated openings in schools, hospitals, and government buildings where the hardware schedule calls out a labeled pivot.
3) Do I have to order the Ives 7215F left hand or right hand?
Handing is required. The 7215F is a handed pivot and has to be ordered LH or RH to match the door swing. Get it wrong and the pivot will not mount correctly, so confirm the hand at the opening before placing the order.
4) Does the 7215F come as a complete top and bottom pivot, or do I buy the pieces separately?
Both ways. Order 7215FS to get the top and bottom base as a set, or buy just the piece you need: 7215FT is the top base, 7215FB is the bottom base, and 7215FINT is the intermediate pivot shared across the 7215F, 7226F, and 7227F. If you are hanging a new door, take the set. If you are replacing one worn component on an existing offset-hung opening, buy the single base.
5) What other 3/4 inch offset pivots could I use instead of the Ives 7215F?
Dormakaba makes a 3/4 inch offset hung line in the same geometry: the 75120 is a full mortise standard top pivot, listed as standard duty and fire rated, and the 75220 is the 3/4 inch offset full mortise intermediate pivot, listed heavy duty and fire rated. Note those Dormakaba tops are full mortise, where the Ives 7215F top is a header mount, so the frame prep is not the same. If your opening is 1-1/2 inch offset rather than 3/4, the Dormakaba 15220 is the heavy duty fire rated intermediate pivot for that geometry.
6) I have aluminum storefront doors. Is the Ives 7215F the right pivot?
Probably not. The 7215F is a heavy duty commercial pivot built around a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness and a 500 pound leaf, which is hollow metal and heavy wood or heavy glass territory. For aluminum doors and frames, the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12, and IP-22 series intermediate pivots are made for that application, and the IL-OP-10 series is a 1/8 inch recessed pivot set for Arch and Vistawall storefront. Those Ilco pivots are standard duty and are not fire rated, so if the opening carries a label, stay with the 7215F.
7) I need an intermediate pivot to go with a 3/4 inch offset hung door, not a top or bottom pivot. What should I use?
The Ives 7215F is a top and bottom pivot arrangement with a header mount top pivot, so it does not cover the intermediate position. The Dormakaba 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot at heavy duty with a fire rating, which matches the same 3/4 inch offset the 7215F is cut for. On tall or heavy leaves, the intermediate pivot is added between the top and bottom pivots rather than replacing either one.
8) What is the alternative for a heavy wood door where the bottom pivot sets into the floor instead of the jamb?
The Ives 7215F bottom pivot is a jamb mount component, so the load transfers at the frame. Where the detail calls for a floor-set pivot instead, the Dormakaba 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, heavy duty and fire rated. The choice is driven by what the drawing shows at the sill: a floor pivot needs the floor prepped, while the 7215F needs header and jamb provisions.
9) How does the top pivot mount on the Ives 7215F, header or jamb?
The top pivot is a header mount and the bottom pivot is jamb mount. That means the header has to be prepped and capable of taking the top pivot, so verify you have header mounting provisions overhead before you order. If your frame will only take a full mortise top pivot in the jamb, this is not the configuration you want.
10) Can I fine tune the door height after the 7215F pivots are installed?
There is 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment with a positive locking mechanism, so you can bring the door up or down to square the top rail and even the floor clearance, then lock it. That range is for final alignment, not for correcting a badly out of plumb frame.
11) Will the Ives 7215F hold up on an exterior door near the coast?
The 7215F is built from stainless steel forgings with precision bearings, which gives it good corrosion resistance for exterior and washdown openings. For harsher exposure there is an optional WP weather resistant bottom pivot with a modified design for improved corrosion resistance, which is the version to specify on a salt air or heavy weather entrance.
12) Should I use an offset pivot like the 7215F or a center hung floor closer pivot?
An offset pivot hangs the door 3/4 inch off the frame face so the door swings one direction and clears adjacent walls the way a hinged door does, and it is the right call when you need the leaf to open flat against the wall on a heavy entrance. It also carries the load down into the structure rather than into the frame. A side load floor pivot set such as the Dormakaba 7471K is the alternative for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds where the installer wants the door loaded in from the side rather than dropped onto a fixed pin.
13) My existing door is sagging and tearing out its hinges. Can I switch it to the Ives 7215F pivots?
Converting a hinged door to offset pivots means new prep in the door, the frame, and the header, so treat it as a rebuild rather than a swap. The payoff is that the 500 pound load runs into the floor and structure instead of pulling on the jamb. If you want to keep the hinges and just stop the sag, a full surface reinforcing pivot such as the Hager 253 for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges is the lighter fix, but it is not fire rated, so it is off the table on a labeled opening.
14) The Ives 7215F is handed. Is there a non-handed pivot I can stock instead?
The Ives 7215F is handed and has to be ordered left hand or right hand to match the opening. If non-handed stock is the goal, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 series intermediate pivot is non handed, for aluminum doors and frames, standard duty and not fire rated. That makes it a stocking convenience for non-rated aluminum openings only; heavy commercial fire rated work still needs the handed heavy duty pivot called out on the schedule.
15) My door is hung on butt hinges and sagging. Do I need to convert it to the Ives 7215F pivot system?
Not necessarily. The Ives 7215F is an offset hung pivot arrangement, which means converting a hinge-hung door to pivots and reworking the header and jamb. Where the door stays on hinges, the Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and it adds support without changing the hanging method. Note that the Hager 253 is not fire rated, while the 7215F is rated to 3 hours, so a labeled opening drives the decision.
16) What finishes does the Ives 7215F offset pivot come in?
Ten: 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, 622 matte black, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel, 643E aged bronze, 689 aluminum painted, 691 bronze painted, 695 dark bronze, and 706 brass painted. If you are standardizing a building, 630 satin stainless is the usual match for commercial door hardware and 689 aluminum painted blends with storefront.
17) Is the Ives 7215F an electrified pivot for power transfer?
No. The 7215F is a purely mechanical pivot with no electrical option, so it will not carry power through the door. If the opening needs power to an electrified lock or exit device, plan on a separate power transfer device in the frame or hinge location.
