Pivot door PV5500

PV5500 pivot door — monumental axial opening, minimalist design, custom sizes and finishes for premium architectural entrances.

The PV5500 pivot door is the entrance solution for contemporary architecture projects that demand presence and refinement. Manufactured in Germany, the PV5500 collection positions itself as a premium pivot door line, dedicated to luxury commercial and residential spaces where axial opening is not merely functional—it becomes an architectural statement. This model transforms the entrance into a design element of undeniable authority.

The PV5500 pivot construction is based on robust structural profiles and high-precision balancing systems, ensuring fluid and discreet opening at any desired angle. The materials employed—aluminium or steel, depending on configuration—are treated to German industrial standards, guaranteeing long-term durability and impeccable finish. Surfaces can receive varied finishes: anodising, custom paint in any RAL colour, or premium timber veneers that integrate the door into the interior context.

Thermal and acoustic insulation meet the requirements for modern exterior doors, with profile chambers and optionally triple-pane glass that ensure acoustic comfort and energy efficiency. Balancing systems are engineered for linear damping, avoiding shock and unwanted noise. Resistance to weathering and repeated mechanical stress is certified to European standards, making PV5500 a reliable choice for high-traffic entrances.

Customisation is the essence of this model: dimensions can far exceed standard limits, enabling the creation of immense and dramatic entrances. Colour and finish options are unlimited, and opening systems can be adapted to space requirements—single-swing, bi-directional, or automatic return. Available hardware includes satin stainless steel, leather, or other premium material handles.

PV5500 is recommended for main entrances in office buildings, hotels, galleries, showrooms, and luxury residences. Compatibility with any interior style—from Scandinavian minimalism to dramatic contemporary—makes this model a versatile choice for designers and architects seeking an entrance solution with real impact and guaranteed durability.

The PV5500 pivot door rotates on a central or offset vertical axis, delivering monumental proportions and pure axial opening without the lateral space required by traditional concealed hinges. Adjustable pivot pins ensure perfect balance and smooth operation, ideal for contemporary architectural entrances with custom dimensions.

The PV5500 pivot door achieves a thermal coefficient Ud of 0.69 W/m²K (measured at standard size 2000×3000 mm) and is certified to EN ISO 10077-2, guaranteeing superior energy efficiency for premium entrances. Dual-level EPDM perimeter sealing and 32 mm anti-distortion polyamide inserts ensure consistent insulation even in extreme climatic conditions.

The PV5500 is equipped with professional BKS hardware featuring a security cylinder with 5 keys plus access card — protection level suitable for architectural entries with frequent traffic. The multi-point locking mechanism integrates seamlessly into the 113 mm aluminium frame, ensuring both seal integrity and resistance to physical intrusion attempts.

The PV5500 pivot door is available in custom sizes and finishes made to order, tailored to your project's architecture — the core value of this premium series. You can choose from a complete range of finishes (painted, natural veneer, laminate) and core materials (aluminium, wood, MDF), adapted to your entrance's aesthetic and functional requirements.

The PV5500 pivot door features a reduced 20 mm threshold, designed for accessible entry and compliance with accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility. The axial pivot opening and low threshold height provide comfort and safety for wheelchairs and mobility devices, without compromising seal integrity or thermal insulation.

The PV5500 pivot door is installed on specialized frames adapted to the pivot mechanism and requires precise opening preparation in the masonry — the 113 mm frame accommodates variable wall thicknesses from 200 mm to 400+ mm. Perfect frame-to-leaf co-planarity ensures axial alignment and long-term durability; specialist installation is recommended for pivot pin calibration and sealing integrity.
