Ives 7227 SET US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much door weight will the Ives 7227 offset pivot set carry?
Up to 700 lbs. That is the whole reason to go to an offset pivot instead of hinges on a heavy door: the bottom pivot sits on a base plate and drives the load into the floor and structure rather than hanging it all off the frame. On heavy timber, lead-lined, or oversized commercial doors, that is the difference between a door that stays aligned and a frame that racks.
2) What door thickness and bevel does the Ives 7227 pivot require?
1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, with a 1/8 inch bevel in 2 inches. 1-3/4 inch is the standard commercial door thickness, so most hollow metal and commercial wood doors qualify. Thinner residential-weight doors, 1-3/8 inch, are outside what the 7227 is set up for.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Ives 7227 pivot?
For the top and bottom, no. The 7227 top pivot and bottom pivot are non-handed, so one part covers either swing and you can stock a single item across a building. Handing only comes up on the intermediate pivots: those are ordered specifically as 7227 INT LH or 7227 INT RH, and the same applies to the power transfer intermediates.
4) Can the Ives 7227 pivot be used on a 20 minute fire rated door?
Yes. The 7227 is UL 10C tested and approved for 20 minute fire doors and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121 certification. For a facility submittal, C07121 is the A156.4 designation to put on the schedule.
5) Does ordering the Ives 7227 pivot get me both the top and bottom, or do I have to buy them separately?
Both ways are available and you have to pick. 7227 SET is the top and bottom together, which is the complete hang for a normal door. 7227 TOP and 7227 BTM are sold individually, which is what you want when you are replacing one failed pivot rather than rehanging the opening. Intermediate pivots are always a separate line item and are never part of the set.
6) How do I run wiring to an electrified lock through an Ives 7227 pivot hung door?
Use the power transfer intermediate pivot instead of a plain one. The 7227PT INT is offered in a 4-wire version (TW4) and an 8-wire version (TW8), each handed left or right. Four wires generally covers an electric latch retraction or a strike; eight is what you go to when you are also carrying a request-to-exit signal and door position monitoring back to the frame. Pick the wire count from the device schedule before you order, because the pivot is not field-convertible between them.
7) Will an Ives 7227 pivot work on an aluminum storefront door?
No, and this is the common mismatch. The 7227 is a heavy duty offset pivot set for 1-3/4 inch commercial doors, not for aluminum storefront stile-and-rail construction. For aluminum doors and frames, the Kaba Ilco intermediate pivot series are the ones built for that prep: IP-10, IP-12 (non-handed) and IP-22, along with the IL-OP-10 Series 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set. Note those Ilco units are standard duty and not fire rated, so they are not a substitute on a rated opening.
8) I have a heavy wood door that keeps tearing out its hinges. Is a pivot set the fix?
Usually yes, because the failure is the frame and the screws taking the whole load. A pivot set moves that weight down into the floor. The Ives 7227 handles up to 700 lbs and needs a 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness. If the door is over 200 lbs and you want a floor-mounted alternative, the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is specifically recommended for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds, and it is also heavy duty and fire rated.
9) I need to run wire through the pivot for an electrified lock. What are the options?
The Ives 7227 covers that within its own model range: the 7227PT INT TW4 and 7227PT INT TW8 intermediate pivots are 4-wire and 8-wire power transfer units, each supplied left hand or right hand. Among the comparable offset pivots, the Dormakaba 15220 1-1/2 inch offset intermediate pivot and the Dorma 75220 3/4 inch offset intermediate pivot are mechanical intermediate pivots, and the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12, and IP-22 series are intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames. If the opening needs current across the hinge edge, the power transfer models are the ones that carry the wire.
10) When do I need to add an intermediate pivot to a 7227 pivot hung door?
Intermediate pivots go on tall or heavy leaves to share the load between the top and bottom pivots and keep the door from twisting. On the 7227 they are ordered as a separate handed item, 7227 INT LH or 7227 INT RH, matched to the swing. Order them in the same finish as the top and bottom so the exposed brass matches down the edge of the door.
11) How much vertical adjustment does the Ives 7227 pivot have if the door sits low?
3/16 inch of vertical adjustment, with a positive locking mechanism so it stays where you set it once the door is loaded. That is enough to take up sag and set the floor clearance at hang-out, but it is not a substitute for correct prep. If the opening is off by more than about an eighth, fix the prep rather than trying to dial it out at the pivot.
12) Offset pivot or center hung pivot for a heavy commercial door?
The 7227 is offset hung, meaning the pivot point sits inboard of the door face and the door swings one way against a stop, which is what you want on a rated opening with a gasketed frame and normal butt-style clearance. Center hung is the choice when the door has to swing both directions or you need a concealed floor closer under a balanced door. Since the 7227 is offset and fire rated to 20 minutes, it belongs on single-acting commercial openings, not on double-acting traffic doors.
13) What is the difference between the Ives 7227 and the Dormakaba 75120 or 75220 offset pivots?
All three are 3/4 inch offset hung and fire rated. The Dormakaba 75120 is a full mortise top pivot rated standard duty, so it belongs on a lighter leaf than the 7227, which is a heavy duty set carrying up to 700 lbs. The Dormakaba 75220 is a heavy duty full mortise intermediate pivot, comparable in role to the 7227 INT. The main practical difference is prep: the Dormakaba units are full mortise, while the 7227 top mounts to the header and the bottom to a base plate.
14) What should I use if the door hangs on a floor closer rather than an offset pivot set?
The Dorma 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, rated heavy duty and fire rated. It is a floor mounted pivot arrangement, whereas the Ives 7227 mounts offset hung with a header mount top and a base plate bottom. If the opening is prepped for a floor pivot rather than an offset hung header and base plate, the 7471K addresses that condition; the two are not interchangeable in the same door preparation.
15) Is a reinforcing pivot the same thing as an offset pivot set?
No. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges, zinc plated, heavy duty and not fire rated. It reinforces a door that is already hung on butt hinges by carrying part of the load; it does not hang the door by itself. The Ives 7227 is the hanging hardware for an offset hung door, with top and bottom pivot components and a 700 lb door capacity. A door hung on hinges with a Hager 253 has no pivot preparation, and a door on the 7227 has no hinges to reinforce.
16) Which bottom pivot works on a non-rated opening where a bronze full mortise unit is specified?
The Hager 497 is a heavy duty bottom pivot hinge with a ball bearing, forged bronze, full mortise, and it is not fire rated. The Ives 7227 bottom pivot is brass with all exposed parts in brass, carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121 certification, and is UL listed for 20 minute fire doors. On an opening with no fire rating requirement the Hager 497 covers the bottom position in forged bronze; on a 20 minute rated opening the 7227 is the one that carries the listing.
17) What pivot set suits a recessed aluminum curtain wall door instead of a heavy commercial door?
The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series is a 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set, standard duty and not fire rated, which is the arrangement used on aluminum curtain wall and storefront entrances. The Ives 7227 is a heavy duty commercial offset pivot set with a 700 lb door capacity, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121 and UL listed for 20 minute fire doors. The two address different door constructions and different offset preparations, so match the pivot to the door system already in the opening.
18) Which offset pivots can I standardize on across a facility with both rated and non-rated openings?
The Ives 7227 is fire rated at 20 minutes with ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121 certification and heavy duty across the range, so it serves both rated and non-rated openings from one part family, in finishes from 605 Bright Brass through 626 Satin Chrome, 622 Matte Black, and 695 Dark Bronze. Among the comparables, the Dormakaba 75220 and 15220 intermediate pivots and the Dorma 7471K floor pivot set are also heavy duty and fire rated, while the Hager 497 bottom pivot, Hager 253 reinforcing pivot, and the Kaba Ilco IP and IL-OP series are not fire rated and so only cover the non-rated portion of a facility.
19) What finishes does the Ives 7227 offset pivot come in?
Thirteen, and the point of the range is matching the rest of the opening. Live brass and bronze finishes cover 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed and 643E aged bronze. Plated options are 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Painted options are 622 matte black, 689 aluminum painted, 691 bronze painted, 695 dark bronze and 706 brass painted. If you are standardizing a building, 626 and 630-family satin looks are the usual pairing with commercial lever trim, and 689 is what matches painted aluminum storefront.
20) Are the exposed parts of the Ives 7227 pivot solid brass or plated steel?
All exposed parts are brass, which is why the finish holds up in exterior and washdown-adjacent openings where a plated steel pivot chalks or rusts at the base plate. On a bottom pivot sitting at floor level, where mop water and salt collect, that matters more than it does on a top pivot.
