Imperial USA IMPTH1110-RH-DU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to know the handing before ordering the TH1110 pivot?
Yes, handing is not optional on the TH1110. It is a handed Arch/Vistawall style pivot and is ordered as either LH (left handed) or RH (right handed). Stand outside the opening, on the side the door swings away from: if the hinge side is on your left, it is left handed. Getting this wrong means the pivot will not mount. If you want a non-handed intermediate pivot for the same kind of aluminum door, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 Series is non-handed.
2) Is the TH1110 a direct replacement for Tubelite or Vistawall pivots?
The TH1110 is built as an Arch/Vistawall style replacement pivot for aluminum storefront doors, in the 3/4 in. offset, 1/8 in. recessed configuration those doors use. Imperial stocks replacement pivots for major door manufacturers. Match the existing offset and the recess before ordering, and confirm your handing. The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series is the other 1/8 in. recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set stocked here if you want a cross-brand equivalent.
3) My aluminum door is sagging and dragging at the threshold. Will offset pivots fix that?
Sag on a pivot-hung aluminum door usually means the load is no longer being carried properly at the bottom. With the TH1110, the entire weight of the door rests on the floor-mounted pivot, which is what prevents sagging, and the full race ball bearing design keeps it swinging smoothly under that load. If the door itself is within the 125 lb. limit, replacing worn pivots is the fix. If the door is heavier than that, or is wood, you need a heavier floor pivot such as the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set, recommended for wood doors or any door over 200 pounds.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Imperial USA TH1110 offset pivot for a 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall aluminum door?
The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series is the direct counterpart. It is an offset pivot set built for 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall openings, the same door condition the TH1110 is advised for, and it is a standard duty set. The TH1110 itself is a 3/4 in. offset pivot for aluminum doors and frames, handed left or right, so when you cross to the IL-OP-10 Series confirm you are matching the same hand on the opening.
5) The aluminum door is taller than 83 inches - what pivot should be added alongside the offset set?
The TH1110 is suitable for 83 in. aluminum doors, and for doors over that height an intermediate pivot carries the extra leaf. Kaba Ilco offers several intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames: the IP-10 Series, the IP-22 Series, and the IP-12 Series, which is non handed. All three are standard duty. The IP-12 Series being non handed is the one to reach for when you are stocking a building with both hands of door and do not want two part numbers on the shelf.
6) Which pivot handles a wood door or a leaf over 200 pounds instead of an aluminum offset pivot?
The Dormakaba 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds, in satin chrome, and it is heavy duty and fire rated. The TH1110 is built for aluminum doors and frames at up to 125 lbs, so a solid wood or heavy leaf belongs on the 7471K rather than on an aluminum offset set.
7) Can I use the TH1110 pivot on an exterior entrance door?
Yes. The TH1110 pivots are weather resistant for use on exterior doors, which is what a storefront entrance needs, and the casing is aluminum for durability and light weight. They are a commercial-duty part, not a residential one.
8) What finishes does the Imperial USA TH1110 pivot come in, and will it match my other storefront doors?
Two finishes: AL aluminum and DU duronodic. Aluminum matches clear anodized storefront framing, duronodic matches the dark bronze anodized framing common on older Vistawall and Tubelite entrances. Both are offered in left hand and right hand, so a building with doors swinging both directions can be standardized on one finish across the fleet.
9) How much does the TH1110 pivot adjust once the door is hung?
There is 1/8 in. of vertical adjustment built in, which is what you use to set the threshold gap and level the door after the frame is set. That is the full range, so the floor and header prep still has to be close to correct going in.
10) Am I buying one pivot or a complete set with the TH1110?
One set is sold per package, and each set covers one door. If you are rehanging a pair of doors you need two sets, and the handing is different for each leaf, so order one LH and one RH.
11) How secure are offset pivots on a storefront door? Can someone pull the door off?
The TH1110 pivots are tamper proof in the locked position while still being easily removable for service when the door is unlocked. Security goes up further when the door is fitted with an Adams Rite cam lock, which is the standard latching on this kind of aluminum entrance.
12) Should I use offset pivots or butt hinges on an aluminum storefront door?
Offset pivots are the right choice for recessed door applications and flush face frame installations, which is how aluminum storefront doors are built. They carry the door weight on the floor pivot rather than on the jamb, so a thin aluminum stile does not have to hold the load the way it would with butt hinges. Where you are reinforcing existing butt hinges on a hollow metal or wood door instead, that is a different part, like the Hager 253 full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 in. wide hinges on 1-3/4 in. doors.
13) Is a Dormakaba 75120 top pivot a substitute for the Imperial USA TH1110 pivot set?
They are not interchangeable. The TH1110 is sold as one complete set per package for Arch/Vistawall style aluminum doors, with the door weight resting on the floor-mounted pivot. The Dormakaba 75120 is a 3/4 in. offset hung full mortise standard top pivot, which is the top piece alone and prepped for a full mortise rather than an aluminum door. The offset dimension matches at 3/4 in., but a full mortise prep and a single top pivot will not replace a handed Arch/Vistawall set.
14) Is the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot an alternative to an offset pivot set on an aluminum entrance?
No. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 in. wide hinges with a zinc plated finish, for 1-3/4 in. thick doors, and it is heavy duty. It reinforces a hinged door rather than hanging a pivoted one. The TH1110 is a 3/4 in. offset pivot set that carries the door weight on a floor-mounted pivot, so it hangs the leaf outright. A door already on butt hinges takes the 253; a pivot-hung aluminum door takes the offset set.
15) What bottom pivot works for a full mortise door rather than the Imperial USA TH1110 aluminum set?
The Hager 497 is a heavy duty bottom pivot hinge with ball bearing in forged bronze, full mortise. The TH1110 also runs a full race ball bearing design, but it is an offset pivot for aluminum doors and frames finished in aluminum or duronodic. Where the door is prepped for a full mortise bottom pivot, the Hager 497 is the fit; the TH1110 suits the aluminum frame condition.
16) Is there a 1-1/2 inch offset intermediate pivot for openings that are not on a 3/4 inch offset?
Yes. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 in. offset brass right hand intermediate pivot in satin chrome, heavy duty and fire rated. The TH1110 is a 3/4 in. offset pivot, so the two set the door at different distances from the frame face and cannot be mixed on the same opening. Confirm the offset dimension on the existing hardware before ordering, and note the 15220 is right hand.
