What are our pivoting doors like?
PIVOTECK in addition to being our generic brand, also gives its name to our pivot doors. The PIVOTECK doors are pivoting, with a lift technology different from conventional hinges. The PIVOTECK hardware system causes the weight of the door to rest on the ground and the edges of the blade can be curved.
Metal parts fixed on the door leaf

Metal parts fixed on the door frame
Circular cap
Thimble shaped: Piece of POM (PolyOxyMethylene thermo plastic crystalline of high rigidity) that softens the friction to the friction of the pivot. This piece is the one that fixes the leaf to the frame at the top. It is attached to the top frame with a screw. Once the frame is recessed with a 20 mm. diameter drill.
Angular support foot
It is an angular piece that supports its base side on the ground. It is fastened directly to the angle formed by the frame with screws. The design of this piece requires to install it in the right place without possibility of error. The angular foot receives the weight of the door and transmits it to the ground, making it possible to turn and preventing the leaf from falling.
