Pivot sets provide the best possible means of hanging a door. They are designed to work with the laws of physics to provide long-lasting performance and reliability.
The weight of the door is supported at the bottom by the floor – Uses principles of gravity to its advantage
Door swings with less resistance
Heavier doors can be accommodated
Reduced stress on frame
Fasteners are in shear, not tension
Eliminates door sag
Vertically adjustable
Heavy-duty hardened steel spindles
Thrust bearing supports vertical load
Needle bearings and bushings for lateral force
Extra heavy-duty models also have an additional surface applied thrust bearing to handle heavier or high-traffic doors
Offset pivots provide better weight distribution and can accommodate taller doors
Intermediate pivots are used for alignment and to ensure proper installation of bottom pivot or floor closer
Center hung pivots are used for aesthetics or if the pivot point is going to be moved nearer the lock edge of the door
PIVOTS DO NOT RETURN DOORS TO CENTER. Pivots in this section are for door hanging means only. For door control see door closer catalog sections.
