Looking for a pair of new door pivots for the threshold bottom mounted pivot and top frame mounted pivot.
I also have another door with a similar set of pivots that I will need help identifying. I can only upload 5 images per post so I will wait to share the other door when I am reached out to.
thanks for the help

Hello,

We can't be sure since the installation hole pattern for your bottom hinge is quite rusted and hard to make out. The 79-126 may be what you need but the hole pattern and specifications on our product page would be the determining factors. If it's a match, we also offer the 79-125 opposite-handed version of this hinge. Take a look and let us know if you need anything else.

I believe those will be the correct pivot for that door. My other door has what looks to be a similar if not the same top pivot but the bottom pivot looks to be slightly different.
Although there seems to be holes for the same mount to used again.

I believe both of your commercial doors are from Amarlite. I agree with Casey that your first post appears to show the 79-126 right-hand pivot set. The second door is also Amarlite, which should take the 79-125 left-hand pivot.

However, it looks like someone retrofitted the bottom pivot to use the 70-121 pivot set but only at the bottom. I suspect whoever worked on this door did not want to remove the complete threshold at the bottom. They may have cut the threshold and attached the bottom threshold pivot (from the 79-121) to the door. Take a look at all the suggested hardware and related videos on commercial doors shown on this page to assist you.
