Do you want a door that closes quickly? A door that closes silently? A door that can stay open at a precise angle? An adjustable pivot allows you to customize all of this! Our models let you adjust the closing speed and force. You can also purchase a model where the door can be stabilized at 90° or 105°.
Door pivots are used in most cases for glass doors.
The pivots that support these installations have many different attributes. The hardware team at ManoMano is here to help you find the product you're looking for.
First of all, it is important to know that pivots have different forces - which are adjustable on some models. The forces range from 1 to 7 and should be adapted to the weight and size of the door. Be sure to carefully select the pivots with the attributes corresponding to your door when making your purchase.
Note: NF EN 1154 standard states that doors with a force lower than 3 are not suitable for fire door systems.
Next is the possible adjustment of speed.
The speed is adjusted using a nut located in the system block. In some cases, door opening sections - depending on the degree of opening - allow for independent adjustment of other sections. The number of sections can be up to 3. For example, a door adjustable in speed over 2 sections: 180° to 20° and 20° to 0. You can then choose the speed for the first section and for the second. Thus, the closing can be quick, but the door can close very slowly.
You can also choose the option with or without stops. A 90° stop allows you to leave your door open when returning from shopping, when passing through with several people or when carrying a large object, this option can be very useful. There are also stops at 150°.
Lastly, the hydraulic brake systems. Many products may seem similar, yet the technology used can be different without greatly affecting the product's characteristics.
It is important to know that depending on the temperature, the closing speed may vary. The two most common technologies are THERMO and THERMOSTABLE. This very specific detail to each product is not of the utmost importance.
Doors are either single action, double action, or swing doors.
We hope you find the best product at a good price among our models of pivots NORMBAU, DORMA, PROQUINTER...
