MHB Steel Pivot Systems

Exterior steel pivot systems for projects where movement, scale, mechanism, glass and the wider architectural opening need to be considered together. Royal Design Marbella represents MHB across the Costa del Sol and helps project teams review the brief, available drawings and the appropriate MHB route.

A pivot system changes the way the opening is experienced. It is not only a door decision.

MHB steel pivot systems are relevant when the project needs a more architectural movement than a conventional hinged door or window route.

The useful starting point is the complete opening: its scale, the desired pivot movement, the relationship between door and window elements, the mechanism and the way the system belongs to the wider steel elevation.

Pivot movement can belong to doors, windows or a wider steel composition.

MHB treats pivot doors and pivot windows as one exterior product family. These renders help explain why the page should be understood as a system route rather than a simple pivot-door category.

The pivot point should be resolved around movement, proportion and use.

The project should define how the pivoting element will be used, where the movement is positioned and how the frame, glass and surrounding steel composition should read when the element is open or closed.

The mechanism is not hidden from the design decision. It shapes the way the system works.

Pivot systems need to be reviewed through the relationship between movement, locking, frame detail and the scale of the steel element.

The mechanism should therefore be considered as part of the system conversation, not as a hardware detail added once the opening has already been fixed.

The applicable pivot route, mechanism and configuration should be confirmed for the individual project.

Architectural integration

Pivot movement should feel intentional, not like a standard door with a different hinge.

The pivot point, frame, glass, scale and open position all affect the architectural reading of the system. The objective is to make the movement feel like part of the composition rather than an isolated technical feature.

03 · One movement language

The strongest result comes when the pivot movement, steel frame and surrounding glazing are developed as one architectural system.

04 · Your project
From opening to pivot route

Start with the opening. Then review the appropriate MHB pivot route.

Royal Design Marbella represents MHB across the Costa del Sol, helping architects, designers and project teams review available project information and coordinate relevant drawings, quotations and technical conversations. The exact execution route depends on the system, project and MHB process.

01

Share the opening

Provide the available plans, elevations, opening scale and the intended pivot movement or access requirement.

02

Review the pivot route

The pivot element, mechanism, frame context and available project requirements can be reviewed in the context of the MHB system.

03

Coordinate the next information

Drawings, quotations and relevant technical conversations can then be coordinated according to the project and applicable MHB process.

Share the project information currently available and Royal Design Marbella can help review the context and coordinate the appropriate next conversation for the MHB route.

steel pivot doors and windows

MHB pivot doors and windows feature ultra-slim 30 mm (1 3⁄16”) steel profiles, achieving a refined, minimalist aesthetic with maximum strength. Thanks to MHB’s innovative profile system, every element can be tailored — from shape and size to pivot placement — giving you full creative freedom.

The adjustable pivot hinge system allows for wide panoramic openings or unique custom configurations, resulting in architectural solutions that blend elegance, functionality, and precision engineering.

weatherproof

MHB steel pivot doors and windows deliver outstanding performance in wind and water resistance. Built with the SL30-ISO® thermally broken steel profile system, they offer superior insulation and long-term durability.

Tested up to Class E1200 – 1200 Pa in accordance with NEN-EN 12208, these systems ensure exceptional water tightness and reliable protection against even the most demanding weather conditions.

unique design

Design without limits. MHB steel pivot doors and windows can be crafted in virtually any shape — square, rectangular, circular, or oval — thanks to our patented steel profile systems.

With the freedom to position the pivot hinge wherever desired, you can achieve truly distinctive configurations that reflect your architectural vision. Each element is made to fit your design — never the other way around.
