This center-hung pivot set handles interior doors up to 250 pounds where standard hinges would fail under the weight. The floor-mount design distributes load directly to the structural slab, making it ideal for oversized wood doors or heavy glass panels in commercial interiors. Rixson pivot sets solve the problem of sagging doors and binding hardware that plague heavy-leaf openings.
The 128-3/4 series uses a non-ferrous base material with oil rubbed bronze finish. The bottom pivot mounts directly to the floor while the top pivot integrates into the door frame. Non-handed design works for both left and right swing doors without field modifications.
