Usage
This opening angle limiter restricts the swing of Pivot-Star and Pivot-Pro hinges to a maximum of 85°, preventing cabinet doors from hitting adjacent walls or furniture. Ideal for kitchens, offices, and storage units where controlled movement is required.
Advantages
- Prevents door overextension and protects surrounding surfaces from impact damage
- Simple integration with compatible Pivot-Star and Pivot-Pro hinges for quick installation
- No interference with hinge’s soft-close or adjustable features
- Durable construction ensures consistent performance throughout repeated use cycles
- Slim profile maintains the aesthetic appearance of installed cabinets or furniture
Specifications
- Precision-molded polymer or metal design, engineered for exact fit with Pivot-Star (C81 series) and Pivot-Pro (C80 series) concealed hinges[1][6]
- Lifespan tested to over 100,000 open/close cycles when paired with compliant hinges[7]
- Fixed limiting function holds maximum opening at precisely 85°; does not affect hinge depth or overlay adjustment ranges[5][6]
- No tools required for mounting—snaps into hinge mechanism during standard installation process[8]
How it works
The limiter attaches directly within the compatible hinge body. When the cabinet door opens, it acts as a physical stop at an exact angle of 85°, reducing risk of collision while preserving all original motion dynamics and adjustment options offered by the base hinge.[1][5][8]
