Ives 7255 Btm US26D Bottom Pivot Center Hung Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 7255 BTM US26D is a bottom pivot designed for center-hung door installations. It provides the lower bearing point in a pivot hinge system, supporting the door's weight at the floor and allowing smooth, consistent rotation. This hardware is finished in satin chrome (US26D), giving it a clean, low-sheen appearance suited to commercial and institutional door frames. Installation is handled by door hardware specialists or skilled carpenters working on pivot door assemblies.

This bottom pivot is used in center-hung pivot door systems where the pivot point is centered in the door thickness rather than offset at the edge. These configurations are common in commercial lobbies, office entryways, and institutional buildings where heavy or wide doors require a pivot rather than a conventional butt hinge setup. The satin chrome finish integrates well with standard commercial door hardware finishes.

• Bottom pivot provides the floor-level bearing point in a full pivot door system

Installation Notes

Bottom pivots are installed by qualified door hardware technicians or experienced carpenters. The door and frame must be properly aligned before securing the pivot to ensure smooth operation. Follow the door manufacturer's rough opening and hardware placement specifications, and consult applicable building codes for door hardware requirements in commercial applications.
