Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 Series Offset Pivot Hinge Set for Armalite and Trulite Style Aluminum Doors

Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 Series offset pivot hinges are engineered for recessed door and flush face frame aluminum doors and frames, including Armalite and Trulite style doors. Built from die cast aluminum with a full race ball bearing incorporated into the bottom pivot, these pivot sets provide 1/8" (3.18 mm) vertical adjustment and are designed to replace most major door manufacturers' offset pivots. The theft resistant, weatherproof design makes these hinges suitable for demanding commercial storefront applications on standard duty aluminum doors.

Key Features

  • Die Cast Aluminum Construction: Durable die cast aluminum housing provides long lasting performance in commercial door applications.
  • Full Race Ball Bearing: Incorporated into the bottom pivot portion for smooth, reliable rotation and reduced wear.
  • No Sag Design: Door weight rests on the floor mounted pivot portion rather than the top pivot, helping prevent sag over time.
  • Easy Replacement: Easily replaceable from inside the door for simplified field service and maintenance.
  • Theft Resistant and Weatherproof: Construction is designed to resist tampering and withstand exterior exposure.
  • Vertical Adjustment: Recessed pivot sets offer 1/8" (3.18 mm) vertical adjustment for precise door alignment.
  • Finish Options: Available in two finishes, including dark bronze, with special order finishes available upon request.
  • Fasteners Included: Sets include fasteners for installation.

Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12-RH-DU-SETS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 offset pivots work on my aluminum storefront door?
Aluminum doors and frames are exactly what the IL-OP-12 Series offset pivots are built for. They cover both recessed door and flush face frame applications, and they're die cast aluminum. They're offset pivots, so the door swings on a pivot point set in from the door edge rather than on butt hinges. For a hollow metal or wood door, look at a center hung set like the Hager 500 full mortise pivot instead.
2) Do I have to order the IL-OP-12 pivot set by hand?
Yes, handing is a required choice. The IL-OP-12 offset pivots come Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and an offset pivot is not reversible in the field. Determine the swing at the door before you order. Finish is the other choice: clear or dark bronze, in either hand.
3) Can I use Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 pivots to replace the pivots on an Armalite or Trulite door?
That is what the IL-OP-12 Series is cut for. The set is made for Armalite and Trulite style aluminum doors, and Kaba Ilco states these pivots replace most major door manufacturers' pivots. Match the hand of the existing opening and the finish to the rest of the storefront.
4) How much adjustment do these offset pivots give me if the door is dragging or out of square?
There's 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) of vertical adjustment in the recessed pivot set, which is enough to take up a sagging door or an uneven threshold gap. Beyond that you're into re-shimming the frame or reworking the floor. The bottom pivot carries the door weight on a floor mounted pivot portion with a full race ball bearing, so the door doesn't sag back out of adjustment the way a hinged door will.
5) Will the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 pivots work on a double acting door that swings both ways?
No. The IL-OP-12 is an offset pivot set ordered left hand or right hand for a single direction swing. For a door that swings both directions, the Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung pivot set for wood or steel doors up to 440 lb, and the Hager 510 Camtrol is a double acting hospital pivot set for wood floors. The Hager 512 Camtrol is the double acting surface hospital set for masonry floor applications.
6) Do the IL-OP-12 pivots come with screws, or do I need to source fasteners separately?
Fasteners are included in the set, so nothing extra to buy for the mounting. What you do need to settle before ordering is hand and finish, since both are ordering choices rather than field adjustments.
7) Is a center hung pivot the same thing as this offset pivot, or do I need a different part?
Not the same, and the difference decides the opening. An offset pivot like the IL-OP-12 sets the pivot point in from the door edge, the standard arrangement for aluminum storefront leaves. A true center hung set puts the pivot on the door centerline so the leaf swings both ways, which is what the Dorma CP440 double acting set and the Hager 510 and 511 hospital pivot sets do. If your door has to swing in both directions, an offset pivot is the wrong part.
8) Between the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 and the Hager 500, which pivot suits a 1-3/4 inch door?
The Hager 500 is a full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion in standard weight brass construction, listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and it is standard duty. The IL-OP-12 is a standard duty offset pivot set in die cast aluminum for aluminum doors and frames in recessed and flush face frame applications. The deciding factor is the door itself: an aluminum storefront leaf with offset prep takes the IL-OP-12, while a mortised center hung leaf in that thickness range takes the Hager 500.
9) Which pivot set should be used instead of the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 when the floor is concrete or masonry?
The IL-OP-12 bottom pivot is floor mounted so the door weight rests on it, which suits the aluminum storefront openings it is built for. Where the installation is into a masonry floor, the Hager 511 is a mortise hospital pivot set for masonry floor installation and the Hager 512 Camtrol is a surface mounted double acting hospital set for masonry floor applications. Both are heavy duty. For a wood floor, the Hager 510 Camtrol is the double acting set.
10) Is the Dorma 8062 top pivot a replacement for the top pivot in the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-12 set?
Not directly. The IL-OP-12 is an offset pivot set for aluminum doors and frames, supplied with fasteners and replaceable from inside the door. The Dorma 8062 is a walking beam center hung complete top pivot with cover plate, a heavy duty top pivot for a center hung door. Because the two use different geometry at the head, the 8062 will not drop into a door prepped for the IL-OP-12 offset top pivot.
11) What finishes do the Ilco IL-OP-12 offset pivots come in, and will they match my storefront?
Two stocked finishes, clear anodized and dark bronze, which are the two finishes most aluminum storefront systems are built in. Both are offered in either hand. Kaba Ilco notes special order finishes are available on request if your building standard is something else.
12) Can these pivots be serviced without pulling the door out of the opening?
The IL-OP-12 pivots are replaceable from inside the door, so a maintenance swap doesn't mean unglazing or removing the leaf. That matters if you're standardizing pivots across a building and want a repair a single tech can do on the walk. The pivots are also theft resistant and weatherproof, so they hold up on exterior entrances.
