EQUAL SIZED PANELS
Centor’s innovative hinge system (patent pending) enables a reduction in cost to manufacture panels. The functionality provided to the door fabricator makes an E3 opening dependable and cost effective.
SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT
Improved screwdriver access and grip are now provided in the patented Surelock™ adjustment mechanism makes the installer’s job even easier. Pivot panels now also use Surelock™ to ensure simple, secure vertical adjustment while Centor’s patented horizontal screw adjustment of 10mm (3/8”) is maintained. E3 is now the most functional system for larger folding doors.
CONCEALED FLOOR CHANNEL
For a more polished look offset floor guides and pivots enable the guide channel to be located under the doors when they are in the closed position.
WEATHER
The functionality of door systems using E3 hardware makes them suitable for use in exposed applications. The use of recommended weatherseal has allowed door systems to pass Australian and international weatherproofing codes.
WALL PIVOT
The floating wall pivot is used to control door deflection and bowing on tall doors caused by wind loads or climatic conditions.
