Seamless Elegance, Heavyweight Power: The Concealed Self-Closing Pivot Hinge
Transform interior spaces with effortless, self-closing motion for doors up to 150kg—without disturbing underfloor heating.
Rethinking Heavyweight Interior Doors
Heavy, floor-to-ceiling doors make an undeniable architectural statement. But traditional pivot hardware often comes with frustrating trade-offs: visible, bulky floorboxes, destructive slab cutouts, or doors that drift out of alignment over time.
Enter the Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica Pro 150 FM F0.
Engineered in Europe, this concealed self-closing pivot system gives architects, builders, and interior designers total creative freedom. Supporting massive interior doors weighing up to 150kg, the hinge remains virtually hidden when closed. The result? Pure, uninterrupted wall lines and smooth, controlled motion every time.
What Does the “FM F0” Configuration Mean?
- FM (Floor Mounted): Uses a surface-mounted footplate with minimal fixing depth, making it 100% safe for floors with underfloor heating.
- F0 (Free Swing): Opens up to 150° in both directions and automatically returns to a flush 0° closed position—keeping your doors neatly shut without a 90° hold-open latch.

Choosing the Right Model: FM vs. BI & F0 vs. F90
To ensure you order the precise hardware required for your project:
- FM (Floor Mounted) vs. BI (Built-In):FM (This Product): Mounts directly on top of finished floors. Ideal for retrofits, timber floors, or slabs containing underfloor heating.
BI: Embedded into the floor substrate prior to final finishing for an ultra-slim bottom door gap (5-11mm. - F0 (Free Swing) vs. F90 (Hold Open):F0 (This Product): Always glides shut to 0°. Ideal for utility spaces, ensuite entries, or feature walls where doors should stay closed when not in use.
F90: Includes a mechanical hold-open catch at +90° and -90°.
- Features
- Heavy-Duty Architectural Capacity: Supports timber and engineered interior doors weighing up to 150kg, with height tolerances up to 3000mm and thicknesses from 50mm.
- Underfloor Heating Safe: The surface-mounted FM floor plate requires no concrete box recessing, preserving heating elements beneath the slab.
- Active Hydraulic Damping: Features a built-in 2-speed hydraulic mechanism that gently pulls the door to a flush 0° alignment while dampening momentum to protect plasterboard and prevent caught fingers.
- Flexible Axis Positioning: Position your pivot point at a standard corner mount (minimum 60.5mm offset), an off-centre placement, or completely central for floating partition designs.
- 3D Precision Micro-Adjustment: Fine-tune your alignment effortlessly after hanging with 3D adjustability (+3mm width, +3mm depth, and +4° angle adjustment) to maintain perfect shadow lines.
- Certified Quality: Meets EN1154 European standards for door closure mechanisms and is cycle-tested for over 200,000 operations.
