Kaba Ilco IL-OP-18-RH-DU-TOP-SET – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ilco IL-OP-18 top pivot fit a Kawneer aluminum door?
That's the door it's built for. The IL-OP-18 is an offset top pivot set for Kawneer aluminum doors and frames, in the 1/8 inch recessed configuration. If your existing top pivot sits in a 1/8 inch recess in the Kawneer header, this is the matching part. Pivots and all fasteners come in the set, so there's no separate screw pack to source.
2) Do I have to order the top and bottom pivot separately for a Kawneer door?
Yes, they're separate orders. The IL-OP-18 offering is split into a Top Pivot Set and a Bottom Pivot Set, so a full hang means one of each. If you're only replacing a sagging or worn intermediate, buy just the piece you need. The whole weight of the door rides on the floor mounted bottom pivot, so that's the one that usually wears first.
3) Does this Kawneer pivot set come handed, and how do I tell which hand I need?
Handed, yes. The IL-OP-18 pivot sets are ordered Left Hand or Right Hand, and both the top and bottom sets are offered in each hand. An offset pivot isn't reversible in the field the way a center hung one can be, so get the hand right on the order. Stand outside the door on the pull side: hinge or pivot edge on your left is LH, on the right is RH.
4) Is an offset pivot the same thing as a center hung pivot, and which do I need?
Different geometry, and they are not interchangeable. The IL-OP-18 is an offset pivot: the pivot point sits inboard of the door edge and the door swings one way, which is how aluminum storefront entrances are hung. A center hung pivot puts the pivot on the door's centerline and lets the leaf swing both directions, which is what you want for a double acting door. If you need double acting, look at the Dorma CP440 center hung set for wood or steel doors, or the Hager 510 Camtrol double acting set. For a Kawneer aluminum entrance replacing like for like, the offset set is the right one.
5) Can I use the Ilco IL-OP-18 pivot on a wood or hollow metal door?
No. The IL-OP-18 is prepped for Kawneer aluminum doors and frames, with a 1/8 inch recessed top. It won't land on a wood or hollow metal prep. For those doors, the Dorma CP440 center hung set is made for wood or steel, and the Hager 500 full mortise center hung pivot fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What center hung pivot works for a wood or steel door instead of the Kawneer aluminum door pivot?
The Ilco IL-OP-18 offset top pivot set is built for Kawneer aluminum doors and frames, so it is the wrong part for a wood or steel leaf. The Dorma CP440 is a double acting center hung pivot set for wood or steel doors rated up to 440 lb. Both carry a standard duty level, so the CP440 is the closest swap when the opening is a wood or hollow metal door rather than an aluminum storefront.
7) Will an aluminum pivot hold up on a busy storefront entrance?
It's rated standard duty and built of die cast aluminum, which suits a normal commercial entrance rather than a high traffic or heavy leaf opening. It's also weatherproof, so an exterior entry door is fine. If you're hanging a heavy leaf or a high cycle opening, step up to a heavy duty set such as the Ives 7256 (600 lb capacity) or the Dorma 8062 walking beam top pivot, keeping in mind those are center hung products, not Kawneer offset replacements.
8) My aluminum entrance door is starting to sag. Will replacing the pivots fix it?
That's what these are for. On the IL-OP-18 arrangement the entire weight of the door rests on the floor mounted pivot portion, so the bottom pivot is the wear point and the source of most sag on an aluminum entrance. Replace the bottom set first, and do the top at the same time if the door has been dragging long enough to have worn the top pivot pin. Order the matching hand for both.
9) Is a Hager 500 full mortise center hung pivot a substitute for the Ilco IL-OP-18 Kawneer pivot?
They solve different openings. The Ilco IL-OP-18 is a 1/8 inch recessed offset top pivot set in die cast aluminum made to fit Kawneer aluminum doors and frames. The Hager 500 is a full mortise center hung pivot with rack and pinion in standard weight brass construction, listing a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Both are standard duty, but the Hager 500 requires a full mortise prep in the door and frame rather than the Kawneer offset prep.
10) For a hospital or healthcare corridor door, is the Ilco IL-OP-18 the right pivot or is there a purpose built option?
The Ilco IL-OP-18 is a commercial standard duty Kawneer aluminum door pivot set. For hospital doors there are heavy duty pivot sets built for the floor condition: the Hager 510 Camtrol double acting hospital pivot set for wood floors, the Hager 511 mortise hospital pivot set for masonry floor installation, and the Hager 512 Camtrol double acting surface hospital pivot set for masonry floor applications. Choose among those by whether the floor is wood or masonry and whether the bottom pivot is mortised in or surface applied.
11) If I only need to replace a worn top pivot and not the whole set, what are my options?
The Ilco IL-OP-18 is sold as a top pivot set and as a bottom pivot set, so the top half can be ordered on its own in clear or dark bronze, left hand or right hand. On the heavy duty side, the Dorma 8062 walking beam center hung complete top pivot ships with a cover plate as a top pivot on its own, while the Ives 7253 is supplied as a set with both top and bottom.
12) Can I standardize an entire building on one pivot set across aluminum storefront and interior wood doors?
One part will not cover both. The Ilco IL-OP-18 is the standard duty commercial pivot set for Kawneer aluminum doors and frames, and it comes in clear and dark bronze in both hands so the storefront openings can match. Interior wood or steel leaves take a different family, such as the Dorma CP440 double acting center hung set for wood or steel doors up to 440 lb or the Hager 500 full mortise center hung pivot for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Standardizing usually means one part for the storefront and one for the interior doors.
13) What finishes does the Ilco IL-OP-18 Kawneer pivot come in?
Two: Clear and Dark Bronze, matching the two common Kawneer storefront anodized finishes. Both are available in Left Hand and Right Hand, and in both the top and bottom set, so you can match an existing entrance without compromising on hand or position.
14) Is there any electrical or power transfer option with this Kawneer pivot?
None. The IL-OP-18 is a purely mechanical pivot set with no electrified version, so it won't carry power through the door for an electric latch, strike, or exit device. If the opening needs power transfer at the hinge edge, that has to come from a separate electric transfer hinge or door loop.
