he MB-86N Pivot Door is an external structure. Its primary features are its impressive dimensions and out-of-the-box design. The off-centre rotation axis endows the door with a unique look, while the concealed hinges provide a very high load capacity. Structures of this kind are popular with architects and are often used for projects where large-scale dimensions and original design play a major part. Pivot doors are recommended whenever there is a requirement to ensure that an entryway is powerfully accentuated and performs as a showpiece element of a building’s façade.

ALUPROF’s MB-86N Pivot Doors are a statement alternative to their classic profiled, sliding or bifold counterparts. The system can be used to create panelled and glazed doors featuring excellent thermal and acoustic performance, along with first-class air- and watertightness, making it possible to meet requirements for energy efficiency and environmental protection. Other unique aspects include a customised locking system offering one- or two-latch options. System characteristics:

• large-scale leaves measuring up to 2 m wide and 3.4 m high
• off-centre pivot
• leaves or glazed insulating units up to 60 mm thick
• concealed bearing hinges with a load capacity of up to 500 kg
• three thermal construction variants, the ST, the SI and the SI+
• locked by means of alternating strips on the leaf and frame
• the bottom is sealed using a drop seal
