Features
Simple assembly

Centor E3 CLD’s innovative hinge system provides symmetry to the door design and simplifies the door manufacturing process. Modified panel gaps and frame tolerances ensure enhanced panel sealing. Quick-fix surface-mounted fittings allow for easy assembly. 

Offset floor guides and floor pivots allow the guide channel to be concealed beneath closed doors, offering a neat appearance and preventing debris build-up in the channel. Sills are also available.

Fully adjustable

The patented Surelock 5 allows for self-locking vertical adjustment with an 8mm Allen key. To raise or lower the panels, simply insert the Allen key into the end of the carrier to depress the pin and wind up or down. Once adjusted, the new setting is locked into place as the Allen key is removed. 

Independent top and bottom lateral adjustment of +/-5mm is possible using a Phillips screwdriver.
