Ives 7227F SET US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Ives 7227F pivot fire rated, and for how long?
Three hours, UL 10C tested. That covers the openings where a 3-hour label is required, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121. If you are hanging a labeled door on pivots, this is the version to order, since most offset pivots on the market carry no rating at all.
2) Do I need to specify handing when ordering an Ives 7227F pivot?
For the top, bottom, and full set, no. Those are non-handed and go on either a left or right hand door. Handing only enters when you order intermediate pivots: the 7227F INT comes in left hand and right hand, and so do both power transfer versions. Get the door hand right on those line items.
3) Can I buy just the top or bottom pivot of the Ives 7227F instead of the whole set?
Yes. The 7227F is ordered as separate pieces or as a set: 7227F TOP for the header mount alone, 7227F BTM for the base plate alone, or 7227F SET for the top and bottom together. Intermediate pivots are always a separate line, handed left or right. If you are replacing one damaged pivot on an existing 7227F opening, order the single piece and match the finish.
4) How do I run power through the door for an electrified lock on a pivot hung door?
Use a power transfer intermediate pivot. The 7227FPT INT comes in a 4-wire version (TW4) and an 8-wire version (TW8), each handed left or right, and it carries the wiring through the pivot instead of an electric hinge or a door loop. Pick TW4 for a simple electric latch retraction or strike run, TW8 where you also have monitoring or request-to-exit conductors. The standard 7227F top, bottom and intermediate pivots are not electronic.
5) Can I use aluminum door pivots like the Kaba Ilco IP series instead of the Ives 7227F?
No, not on a labeled opening. The Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 intermediate pivots are made for aluminum doors and frames and are standard duty with no fire rating. The 7227F is heavy duty and carries a 3-hour rating for hollow metal and wood commercial doors up to 700 lbs. They look similar in a catalog photo and solve different problems.
6) I need a bottom pivot only. How does the Hager 497 compare to the Ives 7227F BTM?
The Hager 497 is a heavy-duty bottom pivot hinge with ball bearing in forged bronze, full mortise, and it is not fire rated. The Ives 7227F BTM is the bottom pivot sold on its own from the 7227F stainless steel offset system, which carries a 3 hour fire rating and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121. On a rated opening the 7227F BTM is the one that answers the rating question; on a non-rated heavy door the forged bronze 497 is the bronze-bodied alternative.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Ives 7227F offset pivot in another brand?
The Dormakaba 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot rated heavy duty and fire rated, which puts it on the same 3/4 inch offset geometry and the same heavy-duty, fire-rated footing as the Ives 7227F. The 7227F is a stainless steel offset pivot certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121 with a 3 hour fire rating, non-handed in the top and bottom set, and covers doors up to 700 lbs. The 7227F family also includes intermediate pivots in left and right hand, so a 7227F INT can stand in the same position on the door as the 75220.
8) When do I need an intermediate pivot in addition to the top and bottom?
Add intermediates on tall or heavy leaves to spread the load along the pivot edge rather than leaving it all on the top and bottom. On the 7227F the intermediate is a separate handed item (7227F INT LH or RH), and it is also the piece that carries the power transfer option if the door has an electrified lock. Order the intermediate in the same finish as the set.
9) How much vertical adjustment does the Ives 7227F pivot have after the door is hung?
3/16 inch of vertical adjustment with a positive locking mechanism, so you can set the bottom clearance and level the door without re-cutting the prep. That is the range you have to work with if the floor is out or the head clearance is tight, and the lock holds the setting under a 700 lb leaf.
10) Offset pivot or center hung pivot, which do I need?
The 7227F is a 3/4 inch offset, meaning the pivot point sits outboard of the door face and the leaf swings one way from a hinge-like position. That is what you want on a standard commercial swing door with a stop and a surface closer. Center hung is a different animal, used where the door has to swing both directions or sit in a narrow frame. The two preps are not interchangeable, so match the pivot to the frame prep already cut.
11) What should I use instead of the Ives 7227F if the door needs a floor closer or a heavy wood leaf?
Look at the Dormakaba 7471K side load floor pivot set, which is called out for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds and is heavy duty and fire rated. The 7227F is a surface offset pivot set, so the closing is handled by a separate overhead closer. If the specification calls for the closer in the floor, the pivot has to suit that assembly.
12) Can I standardize the Ives 7227F across every heavy door in my facility?
It works as a standard for 1-3/4 inch minimum commercial doors up to 700 lbs, including labeled openings, since the top, bottom and set pieces are non-handed and one part number covers both hands. Stock the top and bottom in a single finish and keep handed intermediates only where you actually use them. Where you have electrified locks, the same pivot family covers it with the 4-wire and 8-wire power transfer intermediates, so the opening does not need a different hardware set.
13) What is the simpler intermediate pivot for an aluminum storefront door that does not need a fire rating?
The Kaba Ilco IP-10 Series intermediate pivot hinges are made for aluminum doors and frames and are standard duty, not fire rated. The Ives 7227F is a stainless steel heavy duty offset pivot with a 3 hour fire rating for doors up to 700 lbs, which is more pivot than a light aluminum storefront leaf calls for when there is no rated assembly involved.
14) What finishes does the Ives 7227F 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. For matching the rest of a commercial opening, 630 satin stainless and 689 aluminum painted are the ones that line up with typical closers and exit devices. Order every piece of the pivot set in the same finish, since top, bottom and intermediate are separate items.
15) Is the Ives 7227F pivot suitable for exterior or wash-down environments?
Stainless steel throughout, with precision bearings, so it holds up better than a plated steel or forged bronze pivot in coastal, pool, kitchen or wash-down conditions. Order it in 629 bright stainless or 630 satin stainless if you want the finish to be as corrosion resistant as the base material rather than a painted coating.
