Ives 7253SETSP28 Center Hung Pivot Set 300 Lb Aluminum

Product Description

The IVES 7253SETSP28 is a center hung pivot set designed for door installations requiring a clean, concealed pivot point at the top and bottom of the door. Rated to support up to 300 pounds, this pivot set is suited for heavy-duty residential and commercial door applications where a traditional hinge layout is not practical or desired. The aluminum painted finish provides corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance compatible with standard architectural hardware. Finish designation SP28 corresponds to an aluminum painted surface. This hardware is typically installed by commercial door and hardware professionals or experienced finish carpenters.

Center hung pivot sets are commonly specified for frameless glass doors, heavy wood doors, and storefront-style door assemblies in both residential and light commercial construction. The 7253SETSP28 mounts at the door centerline, distributing load vertically through the pivot points rather than laterally through a hinge leaf. This configuration is standard in applications where door swing clearance, load capacity, or aesthetic requirements make a center hung pivot the preferred solution.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware installer or experienced carpenter. Remove the door from any existing hardware before beginning work, and confirm the door and frame are structurally sound enough to accept center hung pivot hardware. Follow the door manufacturer's template and applicable building codes for proper pivot placement and fastener selection. Do not exceed the 300-pound rated door weight for this pivot set.
