Ives 7245F SET BLK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives 7245F offset pivot work on a 3-hour fire rated opening?
Yes. The 7245F offset pivot is UL 10C tested and approved to a 3 hour fire rating, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121. That covers the heaviest fire door assemblies in a hospital, school or government building, and it is the reason to reach for this pivot over a standard duty offset pivot on a rated opening.
2) How heavy a door can the Ives 7245F pivot set carry?
Up to 500 pounds. The 7245F is a heavy duty offset pivot set, so it handles solid core wood, lead lined and heavy metal doors that a butt hinge application would struggle with. Load is carried down into the floor and up into the frame header rather than hung entirely off the jamb, which is what makes the 500 pound figure workable on the opening.
3) What door thickness and bevel does the Ives 7245F offset pivot require?
1-3/4 inch minimum door thickness, with a 1/8 inch bevel in 2 inches on the pivot edge. That is standard commercial door thickness and the standard bevel, so a typical hollow metal or solid core commercial leaf preps for it directly. A thinner 1-3/8 inch door is out of range for this pivot.
4) Do I need to order left hand and right hand versions of the Ives 7245F pivot?
No. The 7245F is non-handed, so one part number covers both swings. For a property manager or facilities buyer standardizing across a building, that means a single item on the shelf covers every opening instead of stocking two handings.
5) What is the difference between the 7245F top, bottom, intermediate and set options when ordering?
Four separate things to order. 7245FT is the top header mount pivot alone. 7245FB is the bottom mortised cement case mount alone. 7245FS is the top and bottom together as a complete set, which is what hangs one door. 7245F INT is the intermediate pivot, which is not part of the set and is added separately for extra heavy or tall leaves. If you are hanging a door from scratch, order the set; if you are replacing one damaged half, order just that half.
6) Is there a heavy duty fire rated intermediate pivot besides the Ives 7245F INT?
Yes. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass intermediate pivot in satin chrome, heavy duty and fire rated, and it matches the 1-1/2 inch offset dimension the Ives 7245F uses. The difference is handing and material: the 15220 is a right hand pivot in brass, while the Ives 7245F line is non-handed with stainless steel exposed components and is offered in finishes from bright brass 605 and satin bronze 612 through satin stainless steel 630 and matte black 622. A right hand only part has to be ordered to the hand of each opening; a non-handed part does not.
7) Can I use a Kaba Ilco IP-10 or IP-12 intermediate pivot on a fire rated opening in place of the Ives 7245F INT?
No. The Kaba Ilco IP-10 and IP-12 series intermediate pivots are built for aluminum doors and frames, are standard duty, and are not fire rated. The Ives 7245F carries a 3 hour fire rating and heavy duty classification, and the 7245F INT intermediate pivot is the companion piece for that set. On a labeled opening, the intermediate pivot has to carry the rating along with the top and bottom, so an unrated aluminum door pivot is not a swap. The IP-10 and IP-12 belong on non-rated aluminum storefront doors.
8) When do I need to add an intermediate pivot to a 7245F offset pivot installation?
On extra heavy or tall leaves. The 7245F INT intermediate pivot is compatible with the 7245F set and is added mid height on the pivot stile to take some of the load off the top and bottom pivots. It is also the point where electrical transfer applications are handled on this series. It ships as its own item, so it will not arrive with a top and bottom set unless you add it to the order.
9) Can the door height be adjusted after the 7245F pivots are installed?
Yes, within 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment, held by a positive locking mechanism. That range is what you use to set the head and threshold clearance and balance the leaf once it is hung, so a floor that is slightly out or a frame set a touch low can be corrected without repreparing the door.
10) Is there a heavy pivot option that is not fire rated, for a non-rated wood door?
There is, and the choice matters on a rated opening. The Hager 497 is a heavy duty forged bronze full mortise bottom pivot with ball bearing, and the Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges in zinc plated finish for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are heavy duty but neither carries a fire rating, so they cannot go on a rated assembly. The Ives 7245F is the one to specify where the opening is fire rated, since it is UL 10C approved for 3 hours.
11) What if the floor cannot take a mortised cement case for the 7245F bottom pivot?
You need a different mounting family. The 7245F bottom is a mortised cement case mount, so the floor has to be cut and the case set. Where that is not an option on a heavy wood door, the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is recommended for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds and is heavy duty and fire rated. Side load also means the door can be taken off without lifting it straight up, which matters in a tight opening under a low header.
12) What is the difference between the Hager 497 bottom pivot and the Ives 7245F bottom pivot?
The Hager 497 is a heavy duty full mortise bottom pivot hinge in forged bronze with a ball bearing, and it is not fire rated. The Ives 7245F bottom is a mortised cement case mount in a set rated to 500 pounds with a 3 hour fire rating and ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07121 certification, and its bottom base is sold on its own as well as in the top and bottom set. If the opening carries a fire label, the 7245F bottom is the one that holds the rating; the Hager 497 suits an unlabeled heavy door where forged bronze and ball bearing construction is what the spec calls for.
13) The door is hung on butt hinges and sagging. Do I need the Ives 7245F pivot set?
Not necessarily. Converting a hinge hung door to the Ives 7245F means new offset hung preparation in the header and a mortised cement case in the floor. If the door stays on its hinges, the Hager 253 is 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 reinforces the existing hinge hung arrangement rather than replacing it. The Hager 253 is not fire rated, so on a labeled opening the Ives 7245F set with its 3 hour rating is the route. Both suit 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the minimum thickness the 7245F is designed for.
14) What finishes does the Ives 7245F offset pivot come in?
Ten, and every one of them is offered on the top, the bottom, the intermediate and the complete set: 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 matching existing openings, 630 satin stainless is the usual commercial default and 689 aluminum painted matches aluminum storefront trim.
15) Is the 7245F stainless steel all the way through, and will it hold up in a wet or coastal entrance?
All exposed components are stainless steel, which is what gives it corrosion resistance at an exterior or high moisture entrance. On a coastal or washdown opening, specify 629 bright stainless or 630 satin stainless rather than one of the painted finishes, since a painted coating is the part that gives up first in that environment.
16) Does the Ives 7245F pivot come in a bulk pack for a multi-door job?
Yes, it is packed 25 to a package. On a school, hospital or multifamily job standardizing a run of heavy fire rated openings on the same pivot, that quantity covers a full floor without reordering. A single opening only needs one top and one bottom, so match the pack to the door count before you order.
