Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica Pro 100 FM F0

(Classic Bronze Coming Soon!)

Seamless Elegance, Compact Power: The Concealed Self-Closing Pivot Hinge

Transform interior spaces with effortless, self-closing motion for doors up to 100kg—without disturbing underfloor heating.

Rethinking Standard-to-Medium Weight Interior Doors

Pivot doors make a sleek, contemporary architectural statement. However, traditional pivot hardware often presents frustrating compromises: unsightly, bulky floor boxes, destructive slab cutouts, or doors that bounce and fail to sit flush with the wall over time.

Enter the Arlu® (Argenta) Pivotica Pro 100 FM F0.

Engineered in Europe, this concealed self-closing pivot hinge system provides architects, builders, and interior designers total creative freedom. Supporting interior doors weighing up to 100kg, the hardware stays completely hidden when closed. The result? Clean, uninterrupted wall lines and smooth, controlled motion with every push.

What Does the “FM F0” Configuration Mean?

• FM (Floor Mounted): Uses a surface-mounted footplate with minimal drilling depth, making it 100% safe for floors with underfloor heating.
• F0 (Free Swing): Opens up to 150° in both directions and automatically glides back to a flush 0° closed position—keeping doors neatly shut without a 90° hold-open catch.

Core Features & Benefits

Certified Quality: Complies with EN1154 European standards for door closing devices and is cycle-tested for over 200,000 smooth operations.

Versatile 100kg Capacity: Supports timber and composite interior doors weighing up to 100kg, with heights up to 3000mm and door thicknesses starting from 40mm.

Underfloor Heating Safe: The surface-mounted FM floor plate requires no floor box recessing, preserving heating elements embedded beneath the slab.

Active Hydraulic Damping: Features a built-in 2-speed hydraulic mechanism that smoothly pulls the door to a flush 0° alignment while dampening momentum to protect walls and prevent caught fingers.

Flexible Axis Positioning: Install your pivot axis in a standard corner position (minimum 58.5mm offset for doors up to 1000mm wide), off-centre, or fully centered (for doors up to 2000mm wide).

3D Precision Micro-Adjustment: Fine-tune your door alignment effortlessly after hanging with 3D adjustability +3mm width, +3mm depth, and +4° angle adjustment) to maintain perfect shadow gaps.

Technical Details

Selection Guide: FM vs. BI & F0 vs. F90

Ensure you specify the correct model variant for your project:

1. F0 (Free Swing) vs. F90 (Hold Open):

   • F0 (This Product): Always self-closes to 0°. Ideal for utility rooms, ensuite entries, or feature doors where you want the door to stay closed when not in active use.

   • F90: Includes a mechanical hold-open catch at +90° and -90°.

2. FM (Floor Mounted) vs. BI (Built-In):

   • FM (This Product): Installs directly on top of finished floors with a 13mm bottom gap. Ideal for retrofits, timber floors, or slabs containing underfloor heating.

   • BI: Embedded into subfloors prior to finishing for a tighter 5-11mm bottom clearance.
