Standard OHC Pivot Configuration

The standard OHC bottom pivot is the general-purpose pivot option used with compatible center-hung overhead concealed closer installations.

It differs from application-specific pivot styles such as:

• AE Pivot

• GE Pivot

• G Pivot

The standard pivot provides broader installation flexibility when the opening does not require one of the specialized bottom-rail pivot configurations.

Center-Hung Door Application

The bottom pivot supports the lower portion of a center-hung commercial door while the overhead concealed closer and top arm control the upper portion of the opening.

Center-hung OHC systems are commonly used on:

• Aluminum storefront doors

• Glass-and-aluminum entrance doors

• Retail storefronts

• Office entrances

• Commercial facilities

• Institutional buildings

• High-traffic entrance doors

Adjustable Design

The adjustable bottom pivot allows the installer to fine-tune the door position during installation or service.

Proper adjustment can help maintain:

• Door-to-frame alignment

• Consistent clearances

• Smooth door swing

• Proper centering

• Reliable closing

• Correct interaction with the overhead closer

Dual-Purpose Application

The standard OHC pivot is commonly identified as a dual-purpose bottom pivot, providing flexibility across compatible 7000-style center-hung installations.

Depending on the complete door hardware configuration, it may be used with compatible:

• Side-load top arms

• End-load top arms

• Standard center-hung door preparations

Always match the top arm, bottom pivot, door rails, and overhead closer to the existing opening.
