FENNEN Pivot – The entrance door as an architectural element.
Architecture for those who accept no compromise.
Opening as a statement. Design and engineering that rethink space and impact.
A FENNEN Pivot is not a front door in the traditional sense. It is an architectural statement for those who do not need to explain the extraordinary – they simply expect it. A FENNEN Pivot does not follow conventional mechanics.
It rotates on an offset axis within the door leaf – quiet, controlled, assured.
This movement is not an effect. It is the expression of an architecture that refuses to be defined by convention.

DESIGN FREEDOM – ADAPTABILITY
Maximum freedom for architectural concepts – in proportion, surface and integration.
FENNEN Pivot allows the appearance to evolve without replacing the product itself. Materials, finishes and designs can be redefined – externally and internally. For those whose standards evolve over time.
Maximum creative freedom on the interior side as well. Here too, reversible design panels create architectural value and carry the stylistic concept through with consistency.
Every FENNEN Pivot is created on a project- specific basis – aligned with architecture, scale and personality. Widths and heights beyond the ordinary transform the entrance into an architectural gesture of presence and composure.
FENNEN Pivot – Components and Features
Technical Details – FENNEN Pivot.
The FENNEN Pivot is based on a carefully engineered construction that has achieved excellent results at the PfB Test Institute (see classification report). Despite the demanding pivot geometry, the system achieves outstanding performance in air permeability, watertightness and resistance to wind load, meeting the requirements for CE marking in accordance with EN 14351-1.
FENNEN Pivot combines multiple precisely coordinated functional components. The system is designed for very large door dimensions while ensuring long-term stability, durability and ease of operation.
Technical precision – engineered for extreme demands.
FENNEN Pivot – The Components
FENNEN Design Doors
Multi-part door leaf construction with a load-bearing functional core to accommodate the hardware system, complemented by reversible interior and exterior design panels. These can be freely specified, are service-friendly and replaceable, and offer exceptional design flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Pivot Hinges – FritsJurgens (NL)
FritsJurgens is the global market and innovation leader in pivot hinge systems. The integrated System M+ is regarded as the benchmark for precision, movement quality and load capacity in high-end pivot doors. It enables hydraulically damped, controlled movement with defined hold positions and self-closing functionality.
FUHR Locking Technology
FUHR automatic multi-point locking systems autosafe 835 with autotronic motor drive are employed. The dual-sided motorised locking ensures enhanced burglary resistance, comfortable operation and secure closing. DuoSecure swing bolts and additional latch bolts provide a high compression seal.
Alumat Zero Threshold
The installed zero-threshold system from Alumat, the market leader in this field, is based on a magnetically raised aluminum sealing bar. When the door leaf is closed, the seal is activated, directing any penetrating water into the threshold channel and safely draining it outward in a controlled manner. The result is a low-barrier solution with outstanding sealing performance.
FENNEN Pivot – The Features
FENNEN Pivot is a technical precision element at the highest level.
Developed for extreme dimensions, lasting smooth operation and absolute control.
What remains visible is calm. The complexity works in the background.
The Pivot Principle
The axis of rotation is integrated within the door leaf rather than the frame. A controlled, composed movement that opens space and defines clear spatial sequences.
Generous Dimensions
Widths and heights beyond conventional door formats. Architecture with presence, scale and confident design integrity.
Flush on Both Sides
Seamlessly flush internally and externally. Clean lines, reduced detailing, uncompromising design.
Interchangeable Design
Replaceable design panels for interior and exterior surfaces. Creative freedom without structural intervention.
Optimised Installation & Maintenance
Design panels are installed after the door assembly. Reduced weight, streamlined installation processes and maximum on-site control. High serviceability.
Tested to DIN EN 14351-1
Tested in accordance with European standards.
Air permeability Class 4, watertightness up to Class 7B and wind load resistance Class C4 for lasting safety and reliability.
FENNEN Pivot – Certified Product
Architectural freedom with verified security – tested and compliant.
Freedom requires substance
FENNEN Pivot – tested in accordance with DIN EN 14351-1.
Air permeability Class 4, watertightness Class 7B, wind load resistance Class C4. Technical certification is not a sales argument here, but a prerequisite for uncompromising design.
