Hinge system for heavy-duty doors
Large doorways in museums or concert halls, in theatres or prestigious public buildings are imposing – they urge you to slow down your pace and examine the ceilings while making for a grand and impressive atmosphere. The scale of people who pass beneath these doorways is always in flux – a person's proportionality with the room is under transformation. Entrances, exists and doorways have a certain performative character and are essential to the overall impression a building will convey.
And the impact goes much further than that: The noise of a heavy door closing, how it clunks shut and the force needed to open it are things which stick in people's memories. The physical sensations are confirmation of optical perception, creating a lasting experience for this kind of doorway.
The VARIANT® VX Heavy Duty hinge system
With this range, SIMONSWERK offers all the important components needed for the connection between door and frame. The increased material thickness, specially welded hinge knuckle and an optimum matching to the receiver make the VARIANT VX knuckle hinge system the heavy-duty hinge par excellence. All model versions naturally feature proven technical properties including 3D adjustability, maintenance-free slide bearing technology and the use of frames in timber, steel and aluminium.
System quality: Hinge + receiver + cover
The optimal interaction of hinge, receiver and cover makes all the difference. Only when all parts are perfectly tailored to one another and have optimised load capacities is it possible to distribute large loads in the best way possible and guarantee fault-free functioning.
