The Pivette range is based on a unique design of two-leaf articulated door, developed to minimise door swing area whilst maximising clear opening width. Doors are easy to operate manually, needing only light pressure to move aside and well out of the way. Complete, factory-finished, pre-hung doorsets are supplied as standard including frames, track and suspension systems, for straightforward installation and reliable operation. Pivette doorsets are available with finishes, colours and ironmongery to match other Leaderflush Shapland doorsets specified on a project.

Pivette doorsets are particularly suited to healthcare and other buildings where space is at a premium or accessibility important. Pivette offers cost-effective solutions to a wide range of design problems presented by Part M of the Building Regulations, BS 8300:2001 and The Disability Discrimination Act. Taken in total, these can apply to existing properties as well as new buildings including housing.
