Dimensions are intended as a guide only. Calculated weight checks should be performed to ensure doors built to maximum height and widths do not exceed maximum weight.
Centor F3 hardware is available with offset hinges which allow for equal-sized panels regardless of the configuration which ensures manufacturing is simple. Quick-fix surface-mounted fittings allow for easy assembly.
Offset floor guides and floor pivots allow the floor guide channel to be concealed beneath closed doors for a neat appearance. Sills are available.
Centor F3 hardware features our patented Surelock 4TM adjustment mechanism for vertical and lateral adjustment using just a screwdriver and 9/16” (14mm) spanner.
Centor F3 hardware is manufactured in architectural-grade stainless steel. Carriers, guides, pivots and hinges are available in stainless steel and PVD bronze finishes.
Bearings are custom-machined while wheels are individually precision-ground to ensure silky smooth operation.
Our Wide Angle technology opens up 125° each side from a standard 90°, giving better views and flow to the outside patio and increased summer breezes. It is applicable to traditional even panel folding door configurations: 2L, 2R and 2L2R.
Wide Angle technology is available on our folding door hardware E2, E3, E4 and F3.
Using Centor hardware automatically grants you licence to incorporate our Wide Angle technology (*patent pending).
