Architectural Elegance Meets Hands-Free Convenience: The Concealed Self-Closing Pivot Hinge with 90° Hold-Open
Transform modern interior spaces with effortless motion for doors up to 100kg—complete with an integrated hold-open feature and zero risk to underfloor heating.
Redefining Standard-to-Medium Weight Interior Pivot Doors
Architectural pivot doors bring unmistakable character and elegance to modern residential and commercial builds. However, keeping a door open during daily movement—whether managing room-to-room flow, encouraging natural light, or moving furniture—often requires unsightly external floor stops that disrupt your design lines.
Enter the Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica Pro 100 FM F90.
Engineered in Europe, this compact concealed self-closing pivot system gives architects, interior designers, and builders complete spatial flexibility. Designed specifically for timber and composite interior doors weighing up to 100kg, the hinge hardware remains virtually hidden when closed, delivering seamless wall alignment with flexible daily functionality.
What Does the “FM F90” Configuration Mean?
- FM (Floor Mounted): Surface-mounted footplate with minimal drilling depth, making it 100% safe for floors with embedded underfloor heating.
- F90 (Hold Open at 90°): Opens up to 150° in both directions with a built-in mechanical hold position at +90° and -90°. When pushed below 90°, the integrated hydraulic mechanism automatically pulls the door back to a perfectly flush 0° closed position.
