ABH 0180 Heavy-Duty 3/4" Offset Top Pivot | US32D Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH 0180 is an architectural-grade 3/4" offset top pivot designed to serve as the superior header-mounted component for offset pivot sets or floor closers. Engineered for high-traffic commercial environments, this top pivot provides the essential structural alignment required for heavy doors. Crafted from high-strength stainless steel, the 0180 is a critical solution for door restoration and a robust solution for commercial door security in schools, hospitals, and high-end office buildings.

High-Performance Alignment for Offset Openings

The ABH 0180 is the industry standard for securing the top of an offset door opening. It acts as a proactive solution for door surface repair by ensuring the door rotates on a precise, stable axis:

• Universal Non-Handed Design: The 0180 is completely non-handed, making it a versatile stock item for facility maintenance teams. It installs seamlessly on both left and right-hand doors without specialized modification.
  
• Full Mortise Installation: This pivot is designed to be fully mortised into the frame header and the top edge of the door. This concealed mounting style provides a clean, professional aesthetic while protecting the hardware from tampering.
  
• Smooth Precision Movement: Equipped with heavy-duty stainless steel needle bearings, the 0180 ensures fluid, friction-free rotation even under the weight of oversized commercial doors.
  
• Seamless Compatibility: Specifically designed to work in conjunction with 3/4" offset bottom pivots or floor-mounted closers, ensuring a perfectly synchronized solution for door restoration.
  

Industrial-Grade Durability and Fire Safety

To meet the rigorous demands of modern commercial facilities, the ABH 0180 is manufactured to the highest structural standards:

• 3-Hour Fire Rated Protection: This top pivot is UL Listed for use on fire-rated doors up to 3 hours, ensuring your facility remains fully compliant with life safety and fire code regulations.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), the stainless steel base material is naturally corrosion-resistant and easy to sanitize, standing up to the aggressive cleaning agents common in sterile or high-use environments.
  
• Reinforced Mounting Stability: To ensure the hardware never sags or pulls loose, the 0180 is compatible with thru bolts, which create a reinforced "clamping" effect—the definitive solution for door edge reinforcement.
• Standard Fastener Kit: Supplied with a professional mix of 1/4-20 x 3/4" machine screws for metal frames and #14 x 1-1/2" wood screws for wood doors.
