Hager 253 2C Full Surface Reinforcing Pivot Zinc Plated

Product Description

The HAGER 253 2C is a full surface reinforcing pivot designed to support and strengthen door hinge installations using 4.5-inch wide hinges. This pivot mounts directly to the face of the door and frame without requiring mortising, making it straightforward to install on both new construction and retrofit applications. The zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance suited to interior commercial and light industrial environments. It is non-handed, meaning it installs on doors swinging in either direction without modification. Door hardware installers and commercial glaziers typically specify this pivot where hinge reinforcement is needed to handle increased door weight or high-cycle traffic.

The 253 2C is intended for use with 4.5-inch wide full surface hinges in commercial door applications. Its full surface mounting style suits hollow metal doors, wood doors, and frames where a mortised pivot is not practical or required. The non-handed design reduces inventory complexity for contractors stocking hardware for multi-door projects.

Key Features

• Full surface mount design eliminates the need for mortising into door or frame
• Sized specifically for 4.5-inch wide hinges
• Zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance in interior commercial settings
• Non-handed configuration installs on left-hand or right-hand swing doors
• Reinforcing pivot construction adds structural support at the hinge point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reinforcing pivot for commercial door assemblies using 4.5-inch wide full surface hinges.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware technician or commercial finish carpenter. Secure all fasteners to the door and frame per the door manufacturer specifications, and verify that the pivot aligns squarely with the hinge leaf before final tightening. Confirm door and frame material compatibility with the zinc plated finish prior to installation in environments with elevated moisture exposure.
