Stealth Pivot – Technical specifications
2 year manufacturers Guarantee - Warranty
Functionality:
180° swing operation with a silent 90° hold function
90° / 0° / -90°
Maximum weight & dimensions:
75 kg - 165 lbs
Max. door width 1250 mm
( approx. 49.21 inches | 25.4 mm = 1 inch )
Closure force:
Adaptable with 2 sets of Suspa gas springs, rated at 300N and 400N. The hinge
is equipped with 300N out of the box.
The additional gas springs are sold separately, but extensive testing has proven
that 300N is the most adequate all-round setup.
The closing force is influenced by environmental aspects such as room and joint
dimensions, air tightness, overall weight of the door,... and has to be adjusted
accordingly by trial and error. The gas springs are exchangeable to adjust the
closing force of the hinge as necessary.
Suitable for:
Interior doors made from any type of material, with a minimal thickness of 30
mm, for hinge integration purposes.
Swing operation:
180° swing operation with a silent 90° hold function in all swing
directions 90° / 0° / -90°
We include a magnetic 2-way door positioning accessory that can be fitted on
top of the door with a small counterpart against the ceiling for positioning
purposes. We also include an optional 1-way accessory. This 1-way
configuration both positions the door at 0° and blocks the door when 1-way 90°
swing operation is necessary or desired.
Minimum pivot point distance:
The axis point can be positioned at either 80 mm or 178 mm by
simply turning the hinge around in the cavity inside the door
panel.
Closed door positioning (0°)
The self-closing technology will position the door at 0° when
installed perfectly. The hinge mounts feature a correction &
adjustability system with hexagonal bolts to fine-tune the door
leaf position at 0° after initial installation. We also include a set
of magnets to ensure that the positioning at 0° is guaranteed
after installation. Installation of the magnet(s) accessories are
optional.
Joint dimensions:
The advised joint dimensions are based on a completely square
(rectangular)opening. Please read our detailed instructions
regarding dimensions & joint calculation in the instruction
manual.
Bottom: 11 mm
Top: 12.5 mm (necessary for optional magnets & 1-way)
Left and right: 4 - 5 mm advised (up to 50 mm thick panel)
Larger panels need to be recalculated accordingly
Portapivot will warrant and guarantee the proper performance of its products for a period of 2 years (24 months),
following the date of your order receipt, provided that our products are installed in accordance with the instructions.

Top and bottom joint adjustment
Default joint spacing:
bottom pivot hinge = 11mm
Top pivot hinge(*) = 11+shim = 12.5mm

Door leaf installation
Place the door leaf in the doorway,
with both pivots in their closed
position.
Position the bottom pivot in between
the 2 mounting holes at the axis
position.
Next tilt the door leaf upright.
Be careful when manipulating the self
closing pivot. This will snap into position
with a large force!

Always rotate in the closing direction
of the door, otherwise the door can not
close after installation!
Be careful when manipulating the self closing pivot. This will snap into position with a large force!

To move the door leaf slightly left or
right to adjust the joints, loosen the
screws and adjust.
After adjustment, remember to
tighten screws.
Final adjustments for joints and 0° positioning
The hexagonal inserts are used to
finetune the door leaf angle to 0°.

Loosen the screws, and use pliers to
lift the insert out of the pivot foot.
The inserts are excentric, so each
position will affect the centerline
angle fo the door leaf.
The view below shows the effect on
the centerline angle when rotating
the inserts to different positions.
