BaSys PIVOTA hinges : the quick intro

What’s all this about a BaSys PIVOTA concealed hinges?

How do I know which BaSys to use?

When we first introduced 3D Concealed Hinges to our customers here a dozen years ago, the questions we got were more existential like, “What is this?”

Soss was the only thing anyone knew, but everyone quickly grokked the many advantages of 3D-adjustability and welcomed the alien 3D Concealed Hinges into their process, their projects and products . Since then, the 3D Concealed Hinge has become almost a household name in the high-end, modern design conversation. So, then, what is this about a new adjustable concealed hinge?

In Europe, and especially in Germany, one of the best 3D Concealed hinge simply hasn't made it to the US market. Until now. BaSys PIVOTA hinges are here and offer many advantages over 3D Concealed Hinges already in the US market. BaSys has been manufacturing high-performance hinges for a long time and is the hidden secret to the German OEM Door Manufacturers. We are revealing this secret now here in the US. In the European door hardware landscape each has its fans and each continues to innovate and improve its offering. For us, it was natural to bring these widely-respected PIVOTA hinges to the market here in order to provide our clients with some of the unique features and solutions that the PIVOTA line offers. I’ll go over some of these below.

Why BaSys? Flexibility, custom RAL colors, and smooth as butter operation. And NO VISIBLE COVER PLATES! If you want to see screws, that is an option. But we can say it again: A CONCEALED HINGE WITH NO VISIBLE COVER PLACES HOLDING DOORS UP TO 770 lbs. And best of all, PIVOTA offers a hinge for every project budget. And also amazing high volume pricing. This is why BaSys PIVOTA hinges are an OEM favorite in Europe.

The click-bait title of this article should’ve been "Four Reasons why we fell for BaSys.”

1. PIVOTA DESIGN hinges

No Visible Fasteners, Magnetic Coverplates.

When you want maximum minimalism, the BaSys hinges keep it clean. The mortise is the same for their hinges without the covers so you can think about it. But, many designers don’t give it a second thought.

2. Same mortise for different capacities.

There are many innovations in the BaSys line but this is one that will turn heads in the door shops.

Across some of the Pivota line models you will get starkly different load capacities and use exactly the same milling. This variation is due to the difference in the amount of steel in the hinge body

3. Heavy Door? The DXS 300 3D hinge will hold up to 770 lbs with two hinges installed!

This is a monster of a hinge. Often used in commercial applications.

There really is no other 3D adjustable concealed hinge alternative for heavy doors up to 770 lbs.
