Which pivot hinge should I use for a pivoting bookcase?

As the UK’s exclusive provider of FritsJurgens systems, Envo can offer an array of pivot options, from 360º revolving cabinets to heavy-weight pivoting bookcase walls. Read on to find out more about the different pivot hinge options…

The FritsJurgens System M+ pivot hinge is ideal for use with a bookcase wall, the benefits include…

Damper Control:
This precision-made hinge offers damper control - an adjustable, soft-close, and hydraulic backcheck to guarantee fluid door movement meaning you will never have to worry about an abrupt close of the door disrupting the shelves.

Speed Control:
The System M+ 30º speed control allows you to determine the speed of the pivot door through the last part of the closing movement.

Hold Position:
Hold positions at every 90° angle enables the user to open up the space when required.

Minimal Floor Plate: 
The floor plate for the System M+ offers a low profile with four pins of just 8mm. When used with a flush floor plate the space under the door is only 7mm, enhancing the hidden door effect. The minimal floor plate options also ensure compatibility with radiant heat systems.

Weight:
System M+ is individually tensioned to suit the bookcase width and weight. With a maximum weight of 500kg, this pivot hinge allows for endless design opportunities.

Another option is the FritsJurgens System 3 pivot, while this hinge doesn’t offer damper or speed control it's ideal for pivoting walls with built-in display units. The benefits include:

360° Rotation:
The full rotation of the System 3 hinge enables the user to completely transform a room in a simple movement. As with the example below, a stylish bookcase can be rotated to reveal a TV cabinet.
