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.
