Types Of Storefront Door Pivots

Center Hung Storefront Door Pivots

A center hung storefront door pivot is a type of pivot set that is mounted at the center of the bottom door rail. Center hung door pivots are commonly used with concealed door closers. This pivot type consists of a floor or threshold mounted bottom pivot pin and door mounted bottom pivot bearing. The bottom pivot pin mates with with the bottom pivot bearing to create a free swinging door system. Center hung pivots can be harder to identify since they are hidden beneath door. When sourcing a replacement storefront door center hung pivot, we recommend removing the door from the frame, so that a clear view of the bottom pivot pin can be seen as well as the bottom pivot bearing on the door.

Offset Storefront Door Pivots

An offset storefront door pivot is a type of pivot system that mounts to the exterior face of the door and frame 3/4" from the center line of the door. Offset pivots are the most popular type of storefront door pivots. This pivot type consists of a top and bottom pivot set. The top pivot set is comprised of a frame header mount pivot bearing and a top door mounted pivot bearing. While the bottom pivot set is comprised of a jamb and/or threshold mounted pivot pin and a bottom door mounted pivot bearing.

Offset Intermediate Storefront Door Pivots

An offset intermediate storefront door pivot is a type of pivot hinge located at the middle height of a storefront door to offer additional structural support to the door and frame. Storefront intermediate pivots are offset 3/4" from the center line of the door, and are designed to be used with offset storefront door pivots. Intermediate pivots are only used for overheight storefront door applications such as 8'-0" tall storefront doors.
