Ives 7226F SET SP28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness and bevel does the Ives 7226F pivot need?
1-3/4 inches minimum thickness with a 1/8 inch in 2 inch bevel. That rules out a 1-3/8 inch leaf, which is the common older interior thickness, so a 7226F on a 1-3/8 inch door is a miss. Standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors are the target, and thicker leaves are fine as long as the frame and floor prep suit the 3/4 inch offset.
2) Do I order the Ives 7226F as a set, or are the top and bottom pivots sold separately?
Both ways. Order the 7226FS to get the top header mount and bottom base plate together, which is what a complete hang needs. If you are replacing one half of an existing 7226F installation, the 7226FT top base and the 7226FB bottom base are each orderable on their own. There is also a 7226FINT intermediate pivot, which serves the 7215F, 7226F and 7227F. Tall or heavy leaves normally take one or more intermediate pivots between the top and bottom, and those are ordered separately from the set.
3) Can a Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot go into an opening prepped for the Ives 7226F?
No, the offsets are different. The Ives 7226F is a 3/4 inch offset pivot; the Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass intermediate pivot in satin chrome, supplied right hand. The offset dimension fixes where the door face sits relative to the frame, so a 1-1/2 inch offset pivot will not align with a 3/4 inch offset prep in the header, floor or jamb. Both are heavy duty and both are fire rated, which is why they read as interchangeable on a spec sheet. For an intermediate pivot in the 3/4 inch offset geometry, Dormakaba's part is the 75220 full mortise intermediate pivot.
4) What pivot should I use on aluminum storefront doors instead of the Ives 7226F?
The Ives 7226F is a commercial offset pivot set built for doors of 1-3/4 inch minimum thickness with a 1/8 inch in 2 inch bevel, which is a hollow metal and wood door prep rather than an aluminum stile prep. For aluminum doors and frames, Kaba Ilco builds intermediate pivots made for that construction: the IP-10 Series, the IP-12 Series, which is non handed, and the IP-22 Series. The IL-OP-10 Series is a 1/8 inch recessed pivot set for Arch and Vistawall entrances. All four are standard duty and none of them carry a fire rating, so they suit unrated aluminum entrance work rather than a labeled opening.
5) What is the closest cross-brand match to the Ives 7226F for a 3/4 inch offset hung door?
Dormakaba builds pivots in the same 3/4 inch offset geometry. The Ives 7226F is a 3/4 inch offset hung pivot set with a top header mount and a bottom base plate mount, rated for doors up to 600 lbs with a 3 hour fire rating. Dormakaba's 75120 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise standard top pivot and the 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, both fire rated. The difference is scope and duty: the 7226F covers the top and bottom positions as a set and is heavy duty, while the Dormakaba parts are ordered one position at a time and the 75120 is standard duty. Confirm the 3/4 inch offset dimension against the existing door and frame prep before ordering either.
6) Is the Ives 7226F pivot handed, or does one part number work on left and right hand doors?
Non-handed. The same 7226F top and bottom pivots go on a left hand or right hand opening, which is why a property manager can stock one part number for a whole building instead of two. The exception is the 7226FINT intermediate pivot: intermediate pivots are handed, so specify right hand or left hand on that piece.
7) Can you adjust the door height after the Ives 7226F pivots are installed?
There is 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment with a positive locking mechanism, so you can bring the leaf up or down to set the floor clearance and the head gap, then lock it so it stays there under load. That range is what you have to work with, so the floor and header prep still need to be right; 3/16 inch will take out a small clearance error, not a sloping slab.
8) Should I hang a heavy commercial door on offset pivots or on heavy duty butt hinges?
Pivots win once the leaf gets heavy or the door is wide. Butt hinges hang everything off the jamb, and on a 600 pound leaf that is where the frame racks and the screws pull. The 7226F is offset hung, meaning the pivot point sits 3/4 inch off the face of the door and the weight is driven down through the bottom base into the floor and building structure. It is also the answer when the door has to swing clear of a wall return or when a wide leaf would overload a hinge jamb. If the door is light and the frame is sound, hinges are simpler and cheaper prep.
9) What pivot works for a heavy wood door that will not take a 3/4 inch offset header and base prep?
The Dorma 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, and it is heavy duty and fire rated. It differs from the Ives 7226F in how the door is hung and serviced: the 7471K loads from the side at the floor, while the 7226F uses a header mount at the top and a base plate mount at the floor in a 3/4 inch offset. Side load matters on a wood leaf, because the door can be set into the pivot without lifting it clear of the spindle. Both are fire rated options, so the decision comes down to the prep the opening can take and the way the leaf gets installed.
10) Does the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot do the same job as the Ives 7226F?
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 1-3/4 inch doors and not fire rated. It backs up a door that already hangs on butt hinges, adding support at the top of a heavy leaf. The Ives 7226F hangs the door itself: it is an offset hung top and bottom pivot set carrying up to 600 lbs, fire rated for 3 hours, with the load routed through the floor and building structure rather than the frame. Both suit 1-3/4 inch doors, which is where the confusion starts, but a reinforcing pivot cannot replace a pivot set on a pivot hung opening.
11) What finishes does the Ives 7226F offset pivot come in for matching existing door hardware?
Ten finishes, and each one is available on all four pieces (top, bottom, the set, and the intermediate): 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. On a building where the other openings are already 630, ordering 630 across the top, bottom and intermediate keeps the visible base plates matching.
12) Will the Ives 7226F pivot hold up on an exterior or washdown opening?
All exposed parts on the 7226F are stainless steel, which is what you want on an entrance that sees weather, salt, or wash water. If corrosion resistance is the driver, order it in 629 bright stainless or 630 satin stainless rather than one of the painted finishes, since a painted base plate at the threshold is the part that chips and starts rusting first.
13) Does the Ives 7226F pivot have an electrified version for access control?
No electrified option. The 7226F is mechanical only, so power transfer for an electric strike, an electrified lock, or a mag lock has to come through a separate hinge or a door loop. Plan that into the opening before the door is prepped, because the pivot itself will not carry conductors.
