    Ives: The Foundation of Architectural Door Control

    While the locks provide the security, Ives provides the integrity of the opening. For over 120 years, Ives has been the industry leader in architectural accessories. At Lock Depot, we know that a high-traffic door is only as good as its hinges and pivots. That's why we stock a massive inventory of Ives Continuous Hinges, Pivots, and Vandal-Resistant Trim.

    We specialize in the heavy-duty components that pros need for school and hospital maintenance, including Ives 910 Series surface bolts and VR910 vandal-resistant pulls. Whether you're hanging a 500lb lead-lined door with 7200 Series pivots or securing a pair of doors with automatic flush bolts, Ives is the hardware that completes the project to spec.

    PRO TIP: Why Choose Geared Continuous Hinges?

    On high-traffic school or retail doors, standard butt hinges eventually pull the screws out of the frame. An Ives Geared Continuous Hinge distributes the door's weight across the entire height of the frame. If you have a "sagging" door that won't stay in alignment, stop replacing the hinges and switch to a continuous geared hinge. It's a permanent fix.

    Ives architectural hardware ships brand new, factory-packaged, from our warehouses across America. Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship same-day.

    Ives Architectural Hardware FAQ

    What is the benefit of an "Offset" pivot vs. a "Center-Hung" pivot?

    Offset pivots allow the door to swing 180 degrees and are easier to install for weather-stripping. Center-hung pivots are concealed and allow the door to swing in both directions.

    Are Ives 112HD hinges field-cuttable?

    Yes, Ives continuous hinges can be cut down in the field to match non-standard door heights, provided you cut from the bottom only.

    What is "Vandal Resistant" trim?

    Models like the VR910 feature a sloped design and hidden fasteners so that vandals cannot use a pipe wrench or screwdriver to pry the trim off the door.

    Do Ives flush bolts work on fire-rated doors?

    Most Ives automatic and constant latching flush bolts are UL-listed for use on fire-rated pairs of doors. Always check the specific model's fire rating.

    Can I use Ives pivots on a glass door?

    Ives offers specific pivot configurations for aluminum-stile glass doors. Ensure you choose the "top header mount" or "bottom base mount" that fits your frame type.
