Heavyweight Power Meets Magnetic Precision: The Next-Gen 150kg Concealed Pivot Hinge with 90° Hold-Open
Concealed self-closing pivot hinge with 90° hold-open. Arlu Pivotica Pro E 150 FM F90 features magnetic axis tech, 150kg capacity, & underfloor heating safety.
Redefining Heavyweight Architectural Pivot Doors
Large, floor-to-ceiling pivot doors make a bold design statement in modern residential and commercial builds. However, installing a massive 150kg door traditionally presents major challenges: difficult pin alignment during hanging, deep floor slab cutouts that destroy underfloor heating, and the need for external floor stops that ruin seamless floor lines.
Enter the Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica Pro E 150 FM F90.
Engineered in Europe, the “E” series combines heavy-duty performance with next-generation installation technology. Designed specifically for timber and composite doors weighing up to 150kg, this concealed self-closing pivot system remains virtually invisible when closed—delivering clean architectural lines alongside effortless daily functionality.
What Does the “FM F90” Configuration Mean?
- FM (Floor Mounted): Surface-mounted footplate with minimal drilling depth, making it 100% safe for floors with embedded underfloor heating.
- F90 (Hold Open at 90°): Opens up to 150° in both directions with a mechanical hold-open position at +90° and -90°. When pushed below 90°, the integrated hydraulic mechanism automatically pulls the door back to a perfectly flush 0° closed position.
