Pivot door

An impressive design statement

The pivot door is a captivating solution for large entrance areas. Pressing the push button releases the two air seals and unlocks the motorized locks. The door can then be opened manually in both directions – inward and outward – with virtually no effort, even for leaf weights exceeding 500 kg. Thanks to the innovative bearing system with an asymmetrical pivot point, impressive door leaf sizes can be realized with ease, individually crafted from glass or other materials.

Unique sealing system –
how air-lux works

Pivot door

Inflated gasket:
by pressing the button, air is introduced into the frame and the seal is pumped up. The gasket is inflated and presses against the contact surface, sealing the gap between the pivot door and the frame.

Deflated gasket:
the button is pressed a second time to open the unit, the air leaves the unit and the seal retracts to its original concave profile.

Features of the air-lux
pivot door

Opening:
Interior operation is preferably via a push button built into the vertical frame profile. When the push button is pressed in the closed position, the two air seals empty and the locking bolts retract. The pivot door can then be opened.. Exterior operation can be through a key fob, fingerprint scanner or numeric code.

Closing:
A mechanism installed in the frame centres the modern pivot doors into the final closing position after being switched manually.

When the push button is pressed, the locking bolts close the element and air is pumped into the seals at the same time. This makes the hinge system and hardware perfectly sealed and the entry doors are closed.

Bigger is better – and this is also true for air-lux pivot doors. The larger the pivot door, the more impressive the effect when open. We recommend a maximum area of 8.75m (2.5 metres wide, 3.5 metres high). You have other plans? Get in touch with us for a custom designed pivot door – we look forward to any challenge.

The maximum weight of an air-lux pivot door is approximately 500 kg, and we can accommodate glass up to a maximum thickness of 60 mm. If required, we can manufacture your pivot door with alarm glass or bullet-resistant safety glass.

Whether a special wood, architectural bronze, stainless steel or stone, we tailor door leaves and handles to your requirements with individually selected materials and surfaces. The core of all pivot door models is always our high quality, thermally insulated aluminum and plastic profiles, clad with the desired material.

More about materials

The air-lux pivot doors have four electromechanical closing points and the two pivots, which are connected to the fixed part by means of bearings. Advanced hardware components to monitor the door’s closing position and locking of doors provide convenient control and monitoring of the pivot door through the BMS (alarm system, home automation system, etc.). You can also use smartphones and tablets. Competent air-lux technicians ensure the careful coordination of the pivot system with safety officers and electrical planners.
