Flagship Pivot System

AURUM

The safety door for extraordinary dimensions, with vertical pivot operation and installation coplanar with the wall.

Freedom Without Limits

AURUM is the pinnacle of entrance architecture — a pivot safety door engineered for oversized installations. The vertical pivot mechanism, with two adjustable concealed pins at the top and bottom, allows the door to rotate seamlessly on its central axis, creating a wider opening and flooding the entrance with natural light.

Every AURUM is custom-made. No standard sizes, no standard finishes. The door is designed around your architecture, not the other way around.

14′9″ Max Height Larger on request
NOA Miami-Dade Hurricane rated, standard
1,235 lbs Max Weight Motorized option

The Coplanar Principle

One plane. The leaf and the facade,
separated by a shadow line.

The Mechanism

Vertical Pivot

Every AURUM is powered by the FritsJurgens System M+ — the world's leading concealed pivot hinge. Installed flush within the floor, the mechanism is completely invisible. No exposed hardware, no bulky hinges — just a seamless, monolithic entrance.

The System M+ carries doors up to 1,100 pounds, with self-closing, soft close, and hydraulic backcheck built in. Even the largest AURUM moves with a single finger and closes in whisper-smooth silence.
