The Rixson 370 center-hung pivot set handles heavy interior and exterior doors up to 500 pounds where standard butt hinges fail. This non-handed system supports oversized door leafs up to 3'8" x 8'6" in high-traffic commercial openings. The included 340 top pivot works with the center-hung bottom unit to distribute weight evenly across the frame.
Center-hung pivots mount at the door centerline rather than the frame edge. This design reduces stress on door frames and provides smoother operation for heavy doors. The satin chrome finish resists wear in demanding applications. Installation requires precise floor preparation and frame modifications.
Grade 2 pivot hardware meets ANSI/BHMA A156.4 standards for commercial door control devices. Heavy doors often require coordinated egress planning per IBC Chapter 10 means of egress requirements to ensure proper opening forces and accessibility compliance.
