Ives 7255SET26D Center Hung Base Plate Pivot Set

Product Description

The IVES 7255SET26D is a center hung base plate pivot set designed for heavy-duty door applications. It supports doors weighing up to 500 pounds and is finished in satin chrome (26D) for durability and a clean architectural appearance. The pivot set mounts at the base of the door, transferring load directly to the floor and allowing smooth, controlled swing without relying on side-hung hinges. This hardware is installed by commercial door and hardware specialists, locksmiths, and general contractors working on high-traffic or heavy door assemblies. The 1-1/2 inch center hung design keeps the pivot point aligned with the door centerline for balanced operation.

The 7255SET26D is suited for commercial and institutional door installations where standard hinges cannot support the door weight or where a pivot hinge system is specified by the architect or hardware consultant. Typical applications include heavy wood, hollow metal, or glass doors in lobbies, corridors, and high-use entries. The satin chrome finish coordinates with other 26D architectural hardware throughout a building. This pivot set is sold as a complete set, allowing installers to source the base plate and pivot components together without sourcing individual parts separately.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed commercial door hardware installer or finish hardware contractor. The door and frame must be properly prepped for the pivot set prior to installation, and all work should conform to applicable building codes and the door manufacturer specifications. Ensure the door is fully supported and the opening is plumb and square before setting the pivot. Do not exceed the 500-pound rated door weight for this hardware.
