Options

Fire Rated – Prefix F - Pivots for fire rated doors (up to 3 hours) include a steel top pivot and must have additional steel intermediate pivots.  For F519 pocket pivot, door assemblies must have been tested with pocket pivots.

Twenty-minute label – Suffix - 20 - This UL rating is for 20-minute assemblies.  Product with this rating has an authorized label.

Handing - All offset pivots and pivot sets are handed.  Suffix RH or LH.

Extended Spindle – Suffix extra length needed - Any special coverings or severe door undercuts will affect the spindle height. In these applications, an extended spindle may be required. Most standard spindle heights accommodate door undercuts up to 1/2". Extended spindles available in 1/2" increments up to 2" longer than standard. 

1-1/2" Offset – Suffix 1-1/2 - Offset is the distance from the face of the door to the pivot point. Extended offsets should not be used unless there is cladding on the face of the door or there is trim to clear on the frame. 1-1/2" offset arms and pivots are for doors with cladding or trim that project 3/4" from the face of the door. The greater the offset the less weight can be carried by the pivot.

Door Thickness – Suffix 1-3/4", 2", 2-1/4", 2-1/2" or 3" - When ordering L series pivot for lead-lined doors, the thickness of the door must be given. The purpose of the L product is to have screws spaced so they straddle the lead in the center of the door. Also used when lead lining is under the skins of the door.  Recommended for use on extra heavy or high traffic doors.
