Imperial USA IMPTH1300-RH-DU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How heavy a door can the TH1300 YKK pivot set carry?
Up to 125 lbs per door. That covers most aluminum storefront leaves. Anything heavier, and you want a set rated for it: the Ives 7212 offset pivot set is rated to 200 lb, the Ives 7215 to 500 lb, and the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is recommended for wood doors or any door over 200 lb.
2) Do I need to order the TH1300 pivot handed?
Yes, it's handed. The TH1300 is ordered left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings before you place the order. If you'd rather not deal with handing on an intermediate pivot, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 Series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames are non handed.
3) Is the TH1300 a complete pivot set or do I have to buy the top and bottom separately?
It ships as a complete set, top and bottom together. The top pin is spring loaded and fully retractable, which is what lets you drop the leaf in without shimming the frame. Vertical adjustment is 1/8 inch, so you have a little room to level the door after it's hung.
4) I need a replacement pivot for a YKK storefront door. Is the TH1300 the right part?
If the door is YKK and hung on a 1/8 inch recessed offset, yes. The TH1300 is a YKK style offset pivot and Imperial USA builds replacement pivots for the major door manufacturers. For a 1/8 inch recessed Arch or Vistawall entrance, the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series pivot set is the equivalent part for that manufacturer instead.
5) What is the equivalent to the Imperial USA TH1300 YKK style offset pivot for a 1/8 inch recessed aluminum storefront door?
The Imperial USA TH1300 is a YKK style offset pivot set for 1/8 inch recessed storefront openings carrying doors up to 125 lbs. The closest peer for the same 1/8 inch recessed aluminum storefront condition is the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series 1/8 inch Recessed Arch/Vistawall Pivot Set, a standard duty offset pivot set cut for Arch and Vistawall storefront rather than YKK. Both are sold as sets, so the choice comes down to which storefront line the frame is: YKK profiles take the TH1300, Arch or Vistawall profiles take the IL-OP-10.
6) Is an intermediate pivot the same thing as the Imperial USA TH1300 offset pivot set?
No. The Imperial USA TH1300 is sold as a complete set, top and bottom, with the entire door weight resting on the floor mounted pivot. An intermediate pivot such as the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12 or IP-22 Series for aluminum doors and frames, the Dorma 75220 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, or the Dormakaba 15220 1-1/2 inch offset brass right hand intermediate pivot is a single middle point that shares load between the top and bottom pivots on a tall or heavy leaf. Intermediate pivots are ordered in addition to a pivot set, not in place of one.
7) Can I use the TH1300 offset pivot on an exterior storefront entrance?
Yes. The pivots are weather resistant and intended for exterior doors, with an aluminum casing and an Oilite bronze bushing riding on a full race ball bearing. The full weight of the leaf sits on the floor mounted pivot rather than hanging off the frame, which is what keeps an exterior entrance from sagging over a few seasons of use.
8) Is the TH1300 secure enough for a retail entrance, or can someone pull the door off?
The set is tamper proof once installed, but still removable for service by someone who knows the door. Security is highest when it's used with an Adams Rite cam. It's a commercial duty part, not a residential one.
9) My storefront doors are dragging on the threshold. Will new offset pivots fix that?
Usually yes, if the drag is from the leaf dropping rather than the frame moving. On a pivot hung door the entire weight rests on the floor mounted pivot, so a worn bottom pivot lets the leaf settle. The TH1300 replaces both ends as a set and gives you 1/8 inch of vertical adjustment to bring the leaf back up. It suits doors up to 125 lbs on a 1/8 inch recessed storefront.
10) I need a non handed pivot so I do not have to stock left and right. What are my options next to the Imperial USA TH1300?
The Imperial USA TH1300 is handed, ordered LH or RH in aluminum or duronodic finish, so a fleet order has to be split by door swing. Among the comparable pivots, the Kaba Ilco IP-12 Series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames are non handed, which lets a property manager or MRO buyer stock one part number for both swings. The IP-12 is an intermediate pivot for aluminum doors, so it covers the middle point rather than replacing a top and bottom set.
11) What do I use instead of the Imperial USA TH1300 on a hollow metal or wood door in a mortised frame?
The Imperial USA TH1300 is an offset pivot set for 1/8 inch recessed storefront and flush face frame installations with an aluminum casing. For a mortised hollow metal or wood opening, the full mortise pivots are the right family: the Dormakaba 75120 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise standard top pivot paired with the Dorma 75220 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, or the Hager 497 heavy duty bottom pivot hinge with ball bearing in forged bronze full mortise. The Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is the one recommended for wood doors.
12) Does the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot substitute for the Imperial USA TH1300 offset pivot set?
No. The Imperial USA TH1300 is a complete offset pivot set that hangs the door, with the full weight bearing on the floor mounted pivot. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges in a zinc plated finish, for doors 1-3/4 inch thick. It reinforces a butt hinged door at the top; it does not hang a pivot door and does not replace a top and bottom pivot set.
13) What finishes does the Imperial USA TH1300 pivot come in?
Two: AL aluminum and DU duronodic. Both are offered in left hand and right hand, so you can match the existing storefront on either swing. Duronodic is the dark bronze anodized look most older aluminum entrances were built in; aluminum matches clear anodized frames.
14) What's the difference between an offset pivot and a butt hinge on an aluminum entrance?
An offset pivot carries the door at the top and bottom on a pivot point set in from the edge, so the load goes into the floor and the header instead of into the jamb. Butt hinges hang the weight on the frame. On a recessed or flush face frame aluminum entrance, offset is the standard way it's done, and the TH1300 is set up for both of those conditions. If your door is hinge hung and you only want to reinforce it, the Hager 253 full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2 inch wide hinges on 1-3/4 inch doors is that kind of part.
15) Which offset pivot is closest to the Imperial USA TH1300 for standard duty aluminum storefront work?
The Imperial USA TH1300 is a commercial YKK style offset pivot set for aluminum storefront doors up to 125 lbs. On the same standard duty aluminum storefront footing, the Kaba Ilco IL-OP-10 Series 1/8 inch recessed Arch/Vistawall pivot set is the nearest peer for a full set, and the Kaba Ilco IP-10 and IP-22 Series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames cover the middle point on the same kind of opening. The Ives and Dormakaba pivots in the offset family are heavy duty units aimed at heavier leaves.
