Imperial USA IMPTH1114U-RH-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) My aluminum storefront door is sagging and dragging at the threshold. Will offset pivots fix it?
Pivots address that failure directly. On the TH1114U the entire weight of the door rests on the floor-mounted pivot rather than hanging off the jamb, which is what prevents sagging, and the full race ball bearing design keeps it swinging smoothly under that load. It also has 1/8 inch of vertical adjustment, so you can take up minor height error at the threshold without shimming.
2) I need a replacement pivot for a US Aluminum storefront door. Is the TH1114U the right match?
Yes, this is the US Aluminum style offset pivot, model TH1114U, and it's a replacement pivot for that manufacturer's doors. Pivot styles are manufacturer specific, so match the style to the door you have. If your storefront is Arch or Vistawall rather than US Aluminum, the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set is the equivalent for those frames.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Imperial USA TH1114U offset pivot for a 1/8 inch recessed aluminum door?
The Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series pivot set is the nearest match. It is built for 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall aluminum openings, the same recess condition the TH1114U is advised for, and it is a standard duty pivot set rather than a heavy duty one. The difference to check before ordering is the door style: the TH1114U is cut to the US Aluminum profile, while the IL-OP-10 Series follows the Arch and Vistawall profiles, so match the pivot to the manufacturer of the door leaf you are working on.
4) What offset pivot should I use for an aluminum door heavier than 125 pounds?
Step up to a heavy duty brass offset pivot set. The Ives 7212 carries a 200 pound door and mounts at the top header, and the Ives 7212V is the same 200 pound set with a jamb mount instead. For heavier leaves, the Ives 7215 is a heavy duty brass offset set rated to 500 pounds with a header mount. The TH1114U is built for 83 inch aluminum doors weighing up to 125 pounds, so any leaf above that belongs on one of the higher capacity sets.
5) Is there a fire rated alternative to the TH1114U offset pivot?
Yes. The Ives 7215F is a stainless steel 3/4 inch offset pivot set with a top header mount, rated for 500 pound doors and fire rated. The Dormakaba 75120 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise top pivot, standard duty and fire rated, for lighter leaves. Both share the 3/4 inch offset the TH1114U uses, so the swing geometry stays the same; the mounting is full mortise or header rather than the US Aluminum door prep.
6) I need an intermediate pivot for an aluminum door taller than 83 inches - what works with a TH1114U?
Intermediate pivots carry the extra height above the 83 inch range the TH1114U covers. For aluminum doors and frames, the Kaba Ilco IP-10 Series, IP-22 Series, and IP-12 Series are all standard duty intermediate pivot hinges built for aluminum openings; the IP-12 Series is non handed, which matters if you are ordering for both left and right hand leaves at once. On full mortise openings, the Dormakaba 75220 is a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot in heavy duty, and the Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass right hand intermediate pivot.
7) Will the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot work in place of a TH1114U offset pivot?
No - they do different jobs. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges in a zinc plated finish, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors; it reinforces a hinge-hung door rather than carrying it. The TH1114U is a 3/4 in. offset pivot on which the entire weight of the door rests on the floor-mounted pivot. If the opening is pivot hung, stay with an offset pivot set; the 253 belongs on a door that swings on hinges.
8) What finishes does the TH1114U US Aluminum style pivot come in?
Two, aluminum (AL) and duronodic (DU), and both are offered in left hand and right hand. Duronodic is the dark bronze anodized look that matches older bronze-tone storefront framing; aluminum matches clear anodized frames. For a property manager standardizing a building, pick the one that matches the frame you already have.
9) Is one TH1114U order a complete pivot set, or do I have to buy the top and bottom separately?
One set is sold per package, so a single order covers the pivot set for the door. On a door taller than 83 inches you'd add an intermediate pivot separately, and any door closer, cam, or lock hardware is ordered on its own.
10) Are these pivots secure enough for an exterior entrance door?
They're built for exterior use, weather resistant, and tamper proof in the unlocked position while still being removable and replaceable for service. Security level goes up further when the door uses an Adams Rite cam. The aluminum casing keeps the weight down while holding up outdoors.
11) What is the difference between an offset pivot and an intermediate pivot on an aluminum door?
An offset pivot like the TH1114U is the top and bottom hardware the door actually hangs and swings on, mounted offset so the door pivots clear of the frame. An intermediate pivot is a mid-height helper that supports the leaf between them, which is what you add once an aluminum door runs past 83 inches. ZenSupply carries intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames in the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-22, and non handed IP-12 Series, and the Dorma 75220 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot matches the same 3/4 inch offset geometry.
12) For standardizing pivots across a building with both left and right hand aluminum doors, is there a non handed option?
The Kaba Ilco IP-12 Series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames are non handed, so one part number covers both swings on the intermediate position. Offset pivot sets like the TH1114U are ordered by hand - left hand and right hand - so a mixed-swing facility needs the hand recorded per opening for the offset sets even where the intermediate pivots are common stock.
13) What bottom or floor pivot should I use for a wood door instead of the TH1114U?
The TH1114U is a 3/4 in. offset pivot for aluminum doors and frames, so a wood leaf needs a different set. The Dorma 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door in excess of 200 pounds, heavy duty and fire rated. The Hager 497 is a heavy duty full mortise bottom pivot hinge in forged bronze with a ball bearing, which shares the ball bearing running gear the TH1114U uses on aluminum.
14) Is a 1-1/2 inch offset pivot interchangeable with the 3/4 inch offset TH1114U?
No. Offset dimension sets how far the door swings out from the frame face, and the two are not interchangeable in the same prep. The TH1114U is a 3/4 in. offset pivot for aluminum doors and frames. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass intermediate pivot, right hand, heavy duty and fire rated - a different offset and a different position on the door. If you are matching an existing 3/4 inch offset opening, the Dormakaba 75220 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot keeps the offset consistent.
15) Do I mount the TH1114U in the header, or does it go in the floor?
It's an offset mounted pivot set where the door's weight carries on the floor-mounted pivot, with the top pivot locating the door at the head. That's the difference from a jamb or header mount set like the Ives 7212V, which is jamb mounted. Plan the floor prep before the door goes on.
