Concealed Pivot Hinges for ACP (Aluminium Composite Panels)

ACP (Aluminium Composite Panels) like all crisp facade systems need concealed pivot details for access panels, hatches and service doors.  They are required for; electrical, hydraulic, data and other service closets and for access doors to other services.  Angle-Shoe pivots have the hardware to do the job. They can be used for very small access panels into the centre of a sheet with only a 3mm (1/8") gap visible. They can also be used for access doors to 50kg (100 pounds).

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

USA 'ANGLE-SHOE' MANUFACTURERS

'ANGLE-SHOE' MANUFACTURERS IN THE USA'
This can now be considered 'Trumpian' Fake News

'ANGLE-SHOE' pivots will NEVER be made in the USA.  A manufacturer has show a keen interest in the ever growing range of products and negotiations are under way to service that part of the global market.  For architectural hardware distributors please email Howard Styles at hstyles@bigpond.net.au - for contact details.

THE PFS35 LOW COST PIVOT SETS

Angle-Shoe' pivots were officially launched at DesignBuild Melbourne in 2004.
Thousands of pivots sets have now been sold to a bunch of very happy customers.
The pivots go to places like Curaçao, Suriname, Holland, and even New Zealand.

Howard Styles the designer and maker of Angle-Shoes makes the pivots in Canberra.
Unlike Washington DC, Canberra is not only the nations capitol but is also:
'The Epicentre of pivot making in Australia'.

The pivots are constantly morphing into new products to facilitate economical details.

Sydney House of a customer who used the PFS35 pivot for external louvres
The firmness of these new pivots holds these louvres at any angle.
I suspect they could generate electricity during days of high wind.
