Heavyweight Power Meets Magnetic Precision: The Next-Gen 150kg Concealed Pivot Hinge

Elevate large architectural doors up to 150kg with magnetic axis technology, fast installation, and smooth self-closing motion—without risking underfloor heating.

Redefining Heavyweight Architectural Pivot Doors

Large, floor-to-ceiling pivot doors create an undeniable architectural statement in modern homes and executive commercial spaces. However, hanging a massive 150kg door traditionally involves significant job-site headaches: difficult pin alignment during installation, deep floor slab cutouts that disrupt underfloor heating, and hardware that fails to pull heavy doors flush with the wall over time.

Enter the Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica Pro E 150 FM F0.

Engineered in Europe, the “E” series combines heavy-duty capacity with next-generation installation technology. Designed specifically for timber and composite interior doors weighing up to 150kg, this concealed self-closing pivot hinge stays virtually hidden when closed—delivering pure, uninterrupted wall lines and effortless motion.

What Does the “FM F0” Configuration Mean?

  • FM (Floor Mounted): Surface-mounted footplate with minimal fixing depth, making it 100% safe for floors with embedded underfloor heating.
  • F0 (Free Swing): Opens up to 150° in both directions and automatically glides back to a perfectly flush 0° closed position—keeping your doors securely closed without a 90° hold-open latch.Elevate large architectural doors up to 150kg with magnetic axis technology, fast installation, and smooth self-closing motion—without risking underfloor heating.
