When it comes to architectural hardware, functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand. Fantom Hardware, an Australian company established in 2015, has made significant strides in the industry. Their commitment to excellence and innovative solutions has positioned them as a leading supplier of high-quality architectural hardware. Among their standout products are the Fantom Pivot Doorstop and the Fantom Doorstop—both redefining how we interact with doors.
The Fantom Pivot Doorstop: A Hidden Marvel
The Fantom Pivot Doorstop is not your ordinary doorstop. It’s a game-changer for pivot doors, offering a seamless blend of form and function. Let’s explore its unique features:
Patented Dimple and Hold-Open Design:
Unlike traditional doorstops, the Fantom Pivot features a patented dimple and hold-open mechanism. It allows pivot doors to swing in both directions while securely holding them in the closed position.
Say goodbye to unsightly protrusions—the Fantom Pivot sits flush with the floor, maintaining a sleek and desirable finish.
Concealed Rare-Earth Magnet Technology:
The magic lies in the concealed rare-earth magnet. When the door is open, the Fantom Pivot holds it securely. When closed, it remains hidden, allowing the door to swing freely.
Ideal for both inward- and outward-swinging pivot doors.
Practical Applications
Where can you use the Fantom Pivot Doorstop? Consider the following scenarios:
Pivot Doors:
As the name suggests, this door-hold system is tailor-made for pivot doors. Whether you have a single pivot door or a set of double doors, the Fantom Pivot ensures smooth operation and secure closure.
Architects and designers appreciate its unobtrusive design, making it a favorite for modern interiors.
Double Doors:
In double-door setups, the Fantom Pivot can be used on the active door. It holds the door shut while allowing bidirectional movement.
Say goodbye to face-fixed drop bolts—this sleek alternative keeps your design aesthetic intact.
Installation Tips and FAQs
Here are some common questions answered:
Carpet Installation:
Yes, you can install the Fantom Pivot into short-pile carpet. However, avoid deep-pile carpet, as it may create a gap between the door and the sleeve.
Use a carpet punch or cut away the carpet pile before drilling.
Door Release Mechanism:
To release the door, simply pull on it—the pin will slide out of the dimple and off the plate. The door is then free to close.
Drilling Hole Size:
A standard 14mm hole in the floor, 50mm deep, is sufficient for installation.
Magnet Strength:
The N33 Neodymium rare-earth magnet ensures reliable hold-open functionality.
