Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13-RH-AL-SET – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13 pivot set work on YKK aluminum storefront doors?
That's exactly what the IL-OP-13 Series is cut for. It's a 1/8 inch recessed pivot set for YKK style aluminum doors and frames, and it works in both recessed door and flush face frame applications. Die cast aluminum construction, so it's matched to the aluminum storefront it hangs in. If your opening is a wood or hollow metal door rather than aluminum storefront, this is the wrong pivot family.
2) Do I have to order the IL-OP-13 pivot set left hand or right hand?
Handing matters here. The IL-OP-13 pivot set is ordered as either Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH), and each of the two finishes is offered in both. Stand outside the door: if it swings away from you on hinges to your left, that's LH. Ordering the wrong hand means the offset pivot sits on the wrong side of the door and won't install.
3) How much height adjustment do these Ilco storefront pivots give me if the door is dragging?
1/8 inch (3.18 mm) of vertical adjustment, built into the pivot set. That's enough to take up a sagging or rubbing door at the threshold or square up a small gap at the head, but it is not a substitute for a door that's badly out of square. The bottom pivot carries the door weight on a floor mounted portion, so the door isn't hanging off the frame and doesn't sag over time the way a butt hung door can.
4) Can I replace an Ilco IL-OP-13 pivot without pulling the storefront door out of the opening?
The pivots are replaceable from inside the door, which is the whole point of this design for a service call. On a failed pivot you're not cutting the door out of the frame or dropping glass. The bottom portion carries a full race ball bearing, which is the part that usually gives up first on a high traffic entrance, and it's the part you can get at.
5) I have a heavy wood or steel door, not aluminum storefront. What pivot should I use instead of the Ilco IL-OP-13?
Not this one. The IL-OP-13 is a die cast aluminum, standard duty pivot built for aluminum doors and frames. For a wood or steel door, the Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung pivot set rated up to 440 lb, and the Hager 500 is a full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion in brass, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. Both are center hung like the Ilco, so the door still swings on a floor mounted point rather than butt hinges.
6) I'm standardizing pivots across a building with several storefront entrances. Does the IL-OP-13 fit doors from other manufacturers besides YKK?
The IL-OP-13 pivots replace most major door manufacturers' aluminum doors and frames, so a mixed storefront of aluminum entrances can generally be brought onto one part. You'd still order per opening by hand, LH or RH, and pick painted aluminum or dark bronze to match each entrance. Doors that aren't aluminum stay off this list.
7) Is the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13 a double acting pivot set?
No. The IL-OP-13 series is a handed set, ordered left hand or right hand, for single acting aluminum storefront doors. If the opening has to swing both ways, the Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung pivot set for wood or steel doors rated up to 440 lb, and the Hager 510 Camtrol is a double acting pivot set for wood floors. Handing is not a finish choice here; a handed set will not serve a double acting opening.
8) What can I use instead of the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13 pivot set on a wood or hollow metal door?
The IL-OP-13 series is built for aluminum doors and frames, including YKK style storefront, with die cast aluminum construction and 1/8 inch vertical adjustment. For a wood or steel door, the Dorma CP440 double acting center hung pivot set is the equivalent center hung part, rated for doors up to 440 lb. Both are standard duty. Substrate is the deciding factor: the IL-OP-13 recessed prep is cut for an aluminum stile, not a wood or hollow metal door edge.
9) Do I need to buy screws or anchors separately with the IL-OP-13 pivot set?
Fasteners come in the set. Order the pivot set in the hand and finish you need and you have what mounts it. What isn't in the box is anything else the opening needs, a closer, a threshold, or a lock, those are separate line items.
10) What finishes does the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13 pivot set come in?
Two stock finishes: AL painted aluminum and DU dark bronze. Both are offered in left hand and right hand. Painted aluminum matches clear anodized storefront, dark bronze matches bronze anodized framing, so pick the one that matches the rest of the entrance rather than the door leaf alone. Special order finishes can be had on request.
11) Will these Ilco pivots hold up outdoors on an exterior entrance?
They're built for it. The IL-OP-13 set is weatherproof and theft resistant, with the bearing carried in the floor mounted bottom pivot, which is what an exterior storefront entrance demands. It's a standard duty commercial pivot, so for an entrance seeing constant heavy traffic or a door well over normal storefront weight, step up to a heavy duty center hung set such as the Ives 7255 at 500 lb capacity.
12) I only need to replace the top pivot. Does the IL-OP-13 come as a top pivot alone?
The IL-OP-13 is sold as a set with fasteners included, covering the top pivot and the floor mounted bottom portion with its full race ball bearing. If the job is a top pivot replacement only, the Dorma 8062 walking beam center hung part is a complete top pivot with cover plate and is heavy duty. The Ives 7253 center hung set, by contrast, is supplied top and bottom like the IL-OP-13.
13) Can I use the IL-OP-13 pivot set on a hospital or behavioral health door?
The IL-OP-13 series is a top pivot set for aluminum storefront doors and is not a hospital pivot. Hospital pivot sets are specified by floor type: the Hager 510 Camtrol double acting set is for wood floors, the Hager 511 mortise set is for masonry floor installation, and the Hager 512 Camtrol double acting surface set is for masonry floor applications. All three are heavy duty.
14) What is the difference between the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-13 and the Hager 500 center hung pivot?
Both are standard duty center hung pivots, but they are prepped for different doors. The IL-OP-13 is an offset mounted, 1/8 inch recessed set of die cast aluminum for aluminum doors and frames including YKK style, with 1/8 inch vertical adjustment. The Hager 500 is a full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion in standard weight brass construction, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Hager 500 suits a mortised 1-3/4 inch swing door; the IL-OP-13 suits an aluminum stile with a recessed prep.
15) Does the Ilco IL-OP-13 pivot set need power or wiring?
No wiring at all. It's a purely mechanical pivot set, nothing electrified, no transfer required through the door. If the opening needs access control, that gets handled at the lock or exit device, not at the pivot.
