Commercial Storefront Intermediate Pivot | Load-Bearing | Non-Handed | Aluminum or Dark Bronze

The Kawneer® Stile Intermediate Pivot Set is a commercial-grade replacement pivot designed for compatible aluminum storefront doors and entrance systems.

Installed between the upper and lower offset pivots, this intermediate pivot provides additional strength, support, and door-to-frame alignment for high-traffic commercial entrances.

Unlike many handed intermediate pivots, the Kawneer standard intermediate pivot is non-handed, simplifying installation and replacement. Its adjustable, load-bearing design makes it an excellent choice for demanding storefront doors and taller commercial entrance doors.
