Hinge systems for heavy-duty doors

Especially in public buildings such as museums, theatres, universities and shopping centres, oversized doorways and high throughput rates meet the needs to give off a prestigious image. Influential factors such as rotary wing drives, door closing mechanisms and special installation situations are also critical. In addition to the actual weight and the dimensions of the door leaf, these require the complete door hinge system to be especially sturdy.

An optimal interplay between hinge, receiver and cover allows for a diverse range of applications and grants maximum design freedom. Even in special construction situations, the VARIANT VX heavy-duty range for loads up to 400 kg provides impressive solutions which partly counteract the weight, particularly of heavy doors, and can be perfectly adapted to the applicable requirements.
