MB-86N Pivot Door System

An entrance built around scale. An off-center vertical axis rather than side hinges, so an oversized leaf rotates through the opening instead of swinging from its edge.

Concealed pivot hardware, exploded
The hardware disappears, the engineering doesn't

Conventional hinges would dominate at this scale.

Concealed bearing-supported pivot hardware carries loads up to 500 kg, engineered for heavy door leaves. The off-center axis gives the door its characteristic rotation without the visual weight of side hinges.

Project-specific limits and performance depend on the selected construction and configuration.

Build the door, not just the opening

Solid, glazed, or somewhere between.

Solid or glazed compositions, insulated panels, decorative milling, architectural pull handles, and options for LED detailing and electronic access-control integration.

For oversized entrances, early coordination matters. Finished floor conditions, drainage, handle placement, access control and the pivot axis should be resolved before fabrication.
