Ives 7244F – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives 7244F offset pivot hold a 400 lb door?
The Ives 7244F offset pivot set is rated for doors up to 400 pounds, which puts it in heavy duty territory for commercial entrances and thick solid core or metal-clad doors. Just as important as the hardware rating: the top header mount needs structural support in the header and the bottom base needs a sound floor or sill underneath it, because an offset pivot pushes the door's weight down into the floor and building structure rather than hanging it off the frame.
2) Can I use the Ives 7244F on a 3 hour fire rated door opening?
Yes. The 7244F is a fire rated offset pivot set with a 3 hour rating, UL 10C tested, so it can be specified on fire door assemblies up to that rating. It also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07162 certification, which is the line a spec writer or facility inspector usually wants to see on the submittal.
3) What door thickness and bevel does the Ives 7244F pivot require?
Plan on 1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness with a 1/8 inch bevel in 2 inches. Thinner doors do not have the material to take the pivot prep, so a 1-3/8 inch door is out. The 1/8 in 2 bevel on the pivot edge is what lets the door clear the frame as it swings on the 1-1/2 inch offset.
4) Does the Ives 7244F come as a complete set, or do I order the top and bottom separately?
Both ways. Order 7244FS and you get the top and bottom base together as a set. If you only blew out one end, 7244FT is the top base alone and 7244FB is the bottom base alone, so you can replace just the failed half. There is also a 7244FINT intermediate pivot for tall or heavy leaves that need support between the top and bottom.
5) Can I use a Kaba Ilco intermediate pivot in place of the Ives 7244F on an aluminum storefront door?
They are not substitutes for one another. The Ives 7244F is a complete top and bottom offset pivot set, heavy duty, non-handed, fire rated for 3 hours. The Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 and IP-22 series are intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames, standard duty and not fire rated, and the IL-OP-10 series is a 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set, also standard duty and not fire rated. An intermediate pivot supplements a top and bottom set rather than replacing it, and none of the Ilco parts will satisfy a fire-rated opening. For a non-rated aluminum storefront, the IP-12 series has the advantage of being non-handed like the 7244F.
6) What is the closest 1-1/2 inch offset pivot to the Ives 7244F for a fire-rated opening?
On the fire-rated side, the Dormakaba 15220 is the nearest match in geometry: it is a 1-1/2 inch offset intermediate pivot, heavy duty, and fire rated. The difference is what part of the opening each one covers. The Ives 7244F is a top and bottom pivot set for offset hung doors, non-handed, carrying doors up to 400 lbs with a 3 hour fire rating. The 15220 is an intermediate pivot only - it supports the door at mid-height between the top and bottom pivots and is a right hand part, so handing must be called out. A tall or heavy leaf frequently uses both: a 7244F set at head and floor plus intermediate pivots in between.
7) Do I have to order a left hand and right hand version of the 7244F?
No handing to specify. The 7244F is non-handed, so the same part works on a left or right hand opening. That is worth knowing if you are buying for a building with mixed swings, since you can stock one part number across all of them instead of splitting the order.
8) When should I use an offset pivot instead of hinges or a center hung pivot?
Offset hung is the choice when the door is too heavy for butt hinges to carry off the frame, or when you want the door to swing clear of the opening in one direction. The 7244F hangs the leaf 1-1/2 inches off the jamb line and carries the load down through the floor. Center hung pivots, by contrast, put the pivot point inside the door so it swings both ways with equal clearance each side, which is what you want for double-acting traffic doors. If your door is double-acting, an offset pivot is the wrong hang type.
9) Can the door height be adjusted after the 7244F pivots are installed?
Yes, there is a positive locking vertical adjustment with 3/16 inch of range. That is enough to take up a sagging leaf, even out an uneven reveal at the head, or fine-tune the floor clearance without pulling the door back off. Set it under load, then lock it so the adjustment does not creep as the door gets used.
10) Is the Ives 7244F an electrified pivot for power transfer to the door?
No. The 7244F is a mechanical pivot set with no electrical provision, so it will not carry power to an electric lock, exit device, or card reader on the leaf. If the opening needs power at the door, plan on a separate electric power transfer or a door loop in addition to these pivots.
11) For a heavy wood door, is the Ives 7244F the right pivot or should I look at a floor pivot set?
Both are viable and the choice is about how the door is carried. The Ives 7244F is an offset hung set, top header mount and bottom base mount, rated for doors up to 400 lbs with a 3 hour fire rating and stainless steel construction. The Dormakaba 7471K is a side load floor pivot set, heavy duty and fire rated, and is recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds. Side load means the door loads into the pivot from the side rather than being lifted onto it, which is the practical difference on a heavy wood leaf where hanging clearance is tight.
12) My door is on butt hinges and sagging. Do I need the Ives 7244F or a reinforcing pivot?
If the door is already hung on butt hinges and you are reinforcing rather than converting, the Hager 253 is the part built for that job - a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges in zinc plated finish, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is not fire rated. The Ives 7244F is a different approach: it converts the opening to offset hung, carrying the door on a top header mount and bottom base mount that transfer weight into the floor and structure rather than the frame, for doors to 400 lbs with a 3 hour fire rating. Choosing the 7244F means preparing head and floor; the 253 works with the existing hinge layout.
13) Is the Ives 7244F suitable for a wet or corrosive environment like a pool deck or coastal entry?
The 7244F is stainless steel with precision bearings, so it holds up better than plated steel or bronze in damp, chlorinated, or salt air conditions. For those jobs the bare stainless finishes (629 bright or 630 satin) avoid a painted coating that can chip and start corrosion underneath.
14) What prep work does the door and frame need before installing the 7244F pivots?
You drill and route the door and frame per the Ives templates, one set of locations for the top header mount and another for the bottom base in the floor. Verify the leaf is 1-3/4 inches minimum and beveled 1/8 in 2 on the pivot edge first, since that geometry is fixed and cannot be corrected after the prep is cut. Once both pivots are in and the door is hung, set the 3/16 inch vertical adjustment and swing it through full travel to confirm alignment before locking it.
