Description
The FritsJurgens Hexagon Guide is an installation tool that provides stable, accurate access to the top pivot adjustment point when the pivot is positioned more than 280 mm from the edge of the door. Made from Durodeen — a lightweight, uniform material that is easy to plan and sand — it contains pre-set holes that align with the top pivot, allowing precise gap adjustment using a hex key.
When to Use
Required when the distance from the door edge to the pivot point exceeds 280 mm. This is common with centre-pivot and offset-pivot configurations using the 70 mm backset. Without the Hexagon Guide, accessing the top pivot adjustment through the top of the door becomes impractical at greater depths.

About FritsJurgens Pivot Systems
FritsJurgens pivot systems are concealed inside the door and floor, with no visible frame or overhead closer. All systems use a bottom pivot, top pivot, ceiling plate, and floor plate. The right system depends on your door weight, whether you need self-closing, and how much control you want over door movement.

How to Choose
System ONE is a free-swing pivot with no self-closing and no hold positions. The door stays wherever it is left. Supports doors up to 500 kg with full 360° revolving capability. The simplest system in the FritsJurgens line — ideal when no closing force or position control is needed.
System M+ is the full-control system. Self-closes from up to 125°, with adjustable damping on opening and closing, a 30° slow-close zone, and Latch Control to ensure proper latching. Supports doors from 20 kg to 500 kg across eight weight classes. The right choice for most residential and commercial applications.
System FX combines free-swing movement with strong hold positions at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. Opens in both directions and supports 360° revolving, but does not self-close. Suited to passages and open-plan spaces where the door needs to stay open.
All systems require milling into the door for the bottom pivot body. Floor plate options are shared across systems and can be surface-mounted or recessed into the sill.
