Low Cost 'Angle-Shoe' Pivot

Angle-Shoe Pivots are testing a low cost pivot for affordable housing.  Traditional pivots cost a lot to purchase and install. This pivot will be considerably cheaper than the original economical Angle-Shoe AS35.

The new model is for hollow core doors 2040 x 870 x 35 (6'8" x 2'10" x 1 3/8")  The test door is 35Kg (70 pounds) to allow for some variation to the panel type.

The big savings for flush pivot doors in gypsum plasterboard walls is in the painting cost. To prime, undercoat and paint a door with a normal architrave or similar timber trim in Australia costs about AUD$150.00 or about five times the purchase cost of the door panel. For these pivot doors the painting can be done with just a paint roller without 'cutting-in' brushwork. For details of the new 'PAS35' please email Howard Styles - hstyles@bigpond.net.au
