Ives 7259 SET US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives 7259 center hung pivot set work on a standard 1-3/4 inch thick commercial door?
No. The 7259 center hung pivot set is built for doors 2 to 3 inches thick, and 1-3/4 inches is the usual commercial door thickness, so a standard door falls under the range this set is meant for. If your door is in the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch band, the Hager 500 full mortise center hung pivot covers that thickness, though it is a standard duty set rather than a heavy duty one. Measure the leaf before you order; thickness is the first thing that rules this pivot in or out.
2) How heavy and how large a door will the Ives 7259 pivot set carry?
Rated to 1,000 lbs of door load, with a maximum door size of 4 feet by 8 feet. That covers a full 4 foot wide leaf in solid core wood, heavy metal, or a thick clad door, provided the leaf is 2 to 3 inches thick. Because it is center hung, the weight goes down through the bottom pivot into the floor and building structure instead of hanging off the frame, which is why oversized leaves that would tear out hinge screws end up on pivots. Confirm the floor under the bottom base can actually take a 1,000 lb point load before you set it.
3) Does the Ives 7259 come as a complete pivot set, or do I order the top and bottom separately?
Three ways to order it. The 7259S is the complete set with both the top header mount and the bottom base frame mount. The 7259T is the top base on its own and the 7259B is the bottom base on its own, which is what you want when only one half of an existing pivot is worn. Each of the three is offered in 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome, ordered as 7259 SET US26D for a satin chrome set, 7259 TOP US26 for a bright chrome top, and so on. For a new opening you need both halves, so take the set.
4) Will an Ives 7259 pivot clear a threshold or carpet at the bottom of the door?
Floor to door clearance is adjustable from 3/16 inch up to 3/4 inch, so you can set the undercut over a saddle, a mat, or new carpet without shimming the bottom base. There is also 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment with a positive locking mechanism, which is what you use to bring the door back into square after the floor covering goes in. Anything needing more than 3/4 inch of clearance is outside what this pivot will give you.
5) Which center hung pivot set works on a 20 minute fire rated opening?
The Ives 7259 center hung pivot set is fire rated with a fire rated time of 20 minutes and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07032. Among the other center hung pivots in the same class, the Dormakaba CP440 double acting set, the Dorma 8062 walking beam top pivot, the Hager 500 full mortise pivot, and the Hager 510, 511 and 512 hospital pivot sets all list fire rating as no. If the opening is a rated one, the 7259 is the set carrying the rating; the others are built for openings where no rating applies.
6) What center hung pivot suits a door thinner than 2 inches?
The Ives 7259 center hung pivot set is recommended for doors 2 to 3 inches thick. For a thinner leaf, the Hager 500 full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, in standard weight brass construction, standard duty, with fire rating listed as no. Confirm the leaf thickness before ordering either one, since the two cover different thickness bands.
7) Do I have to specify left hand or right hand when ordering the Ives 7259 pivot?
Non-handed. The same 7259 top and bottom bases go on a left hand or right hand opening, so there is no hand to call out on the order and no wrong-hand part sitting in the truck. All you specify is which component you need (top, bottom, or the set) and the finish.
8) What center hung pivot should I use for a door that has to swing both directions?
For a double acting opening, look at the sets that state it. The Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung pivot set for wood or steel doors up to 440 lb, standard duty. The Hager 510 Camtrol is a double acting hospital pivot set for wood floors, and the Hager 512 Camtrol is the double acting surface version for masonry floors, both heavy duty. Where the floor is masonry and you want the pivot mortised in rather than surface applied, the Hager 511 is the mortise hospital pivot set. The Ives 7259 is a non-handed center hung set carrying up to 1,000 lbs on a standard door, and it is the only one of the group that is fire rated, at 20 minutes.
9) What prep does the Ives 7259 pivot need in the door, the header, and the floor?
The set mounts in two places: a top header mount in the frame head and a bottom base frame mount at the floor. Both the door and the frame get drilled and routed to the manufacturer templates before anything goes in, and the door is then tilted onto the bearing and pinned. Plan the floor first, since a center hung bottom base carries the full door load down into the structure and the 7259 is rated to 1,000 lbs. This is a prepped opening, not a swap you make with the door hung.
10) Does the Ives 7259 pivot meet a Grade 1 heavy duty spec for a commercial project?
Yes on both counts. The 7259 is a Grade 1 certified, heavy duty pivot for commercial use, and it carries the ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07032 designation, which is the number to put beside it on a submittal. Add the UL 10C 20 minute fire rating and it covers most institutional door schedules that call for a center hung heavy duty pivot on a rated opening. Non-electrified, so there is nothing to coordinate with access control at the pivot.
11) If only the top pivot needs replacing, what are the options besides a full set?
The Ives 7259 top header mount is sold on its own as 7259 TOP in bright chrome and satin chrome, separate from the 7259 SET that includes both top and bottom. A heavy duty alternative top pivot is the Dorma 8062 walking beam center hung complete top pivot with cover plate, which lists fire rating as no. Match the replacement to the bottom pivot already in the floor, since a top pivot has to work with the bottom it is paired to.
12) What is the Ives 7259 pivot made of, and will it hold up in a wet or high traffic entrance?
Brass, running on precision bearings, which is what gives the pivot its corrosion resistance and keeps a heavy leaf swinging smoothly through constant use. It is classed as heavy duty for commercial service, which is the reason it turns up on entrances in hospitals, schools, retail, and warehouses where the same door cycles all day.
13) What finishes does the Ives 7259 pivot come in, and which one matches satin chrome hardware?
Two finishes: 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Satin chrome is 626, which is US26D in the older US notation, so a full satin set orders as 7259 SET US26D. Bright chrome is 625, or US26, ordered as 7259 SET US26. Both finishes are offered on the set, the top base alone, and the bottom base alone, so a later replacement of one half still matches the other doors in the building.
14) Which comparable center hung pivots are rated heavy duty like the Ives 7259?
The Ives 7259 center hung pivot set is heavy duty and carries doors up to 1,000 pounds. Among comparable pivots, the Dorma 8062 walking beam top pivot and the Hager 510, 511 and 512 hospital pivot sets are also rated heavy duty. The Dormakaba CP440 center hung set, the Hager 500 full mortise pivot, and the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12, IL-OP-13, IL-OP-14 and IL-OP-15 offset pivot series are rated standard duty. Use the duty level alongside the leaf weight and swing frequency when standardizing across a facility.
