Designed to inspire. Created to transform. Built to last.

In-depth 22 January 2025

Missing link; something that is needed to complete a series, provide continuity, or gain complete knowledge.

As you probably know by now, FritsJurgens doesn’t just make hinges, we create original FritsJurgens pivot systems. And our latest innovation is System Fx. This unique FritsJurgens pivot system bridges the gap between System One and System M+. To us, System Fx even represents the missing link between the previous systems, because it uses the quality of both, but in a completely authentic way.

Speaking of links, System Fx – with its four strong holding positions at 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° – anchors doors firmly in place. And when the door is open, it not only creates spatial impact, but also creates a unique experience within the entire interior.

And System Fx is strong. It has a load capacity for doors between 20 and 209 kg. And since it is designed for side installation, interior pivot doors are the ideal choice. To illustrate, with a height of only 38 mm and a width of 32 mm, System Fx fits seamlessly into doors with a thinner profile. What also makes System Fx stand out is that the system itself returns to the nearest holding position from +10 or -10 degrees.

But what really sets System Fx apart is its inherent ability to transform almost any door into a pivot door. And let’s face it: every door secretly dreams of becoming a pivot door. With System Fx, we’ve designed something that makes that dream a reality.

System Fx as the epitome of freedom of design

The four strong holding positions are just part of what System Fx has to offer. Like System M+ and System One, this innovative system allows you to dream big and embrace the freedom of design it propagates. Built to last at least a century, every System Fx guarantees smooth, effortless movement from the moment it is installed until far into the future.

Now imagine something extraordinary: an impressive pivot door that not only divides an interior, but also seamlessly connects the spaces it opens into. A door that becomes a gateway to something greater that not only attracts attention but holds it.

With FritsJurgens System Fx, your creative imagination knows no bounds. Whatever your design vision, we provide the hardware to transform it into something tangible, achievable and valuable.

System Fx for versatile applications

Interior doors

As said, System Fx is specifically designed to transform any ordinary door into an extraordinary pivot door. Of course, this does not mean that it will miraculously change an existing door into something new. It is not a magic wand. What it does mean is that an interior pivot door aesthetically enhances the overall interior design. And that installation becomes a much easier task. But that is not all. The price of System Fx is also remarkably affordable.

Combining technology with the highest standards of craftsmanship, System Fx stands out without being flashy. Because our concealed system ensures that the focus remains on the door as well as on the interior design. It enables doors to function both as functional dividers and seamless connectors, effortlessly adapting to the spatial dynamics of a room. Whether it’s a lightweight panel or a more robust, heavy-duty design, System Fx guarantees effortless operation.

Special applications

System Fx opens up a world of possibilities for special applications. In addition to conventional doorways, it enables the most diverse creative architectural solutions. Think, for example, of rotating walls in galleries or museums. Designers can also integrate the system into functional furniture, such as rotating bookshelves, hidden compartments or wine cabinets.

 In commercial spaces, System Fx becomes an essential tool for creating versatile partitions that effortlessly adapt to whatever is needed. Whether it’s open plan offices, retail environments or high-end hospitality settings, anything is possible. Its ability to support medium-weight doors and a variety of materials ensures it can handle even the most ambitious designs. Such as soundproof partitions or intricate decorative panels.

 For residential projects, System Fx excels in applications that require both subtlety and impact. It can transform spaces by creating dramatic transitions between rooms or defining zones within open layouts without compromising light and airflow. Its adaptability also allows for unique designs, such as custom pivot doors that conceal storage areas or blend into walls, making them nearly invisible when closed.

Commercial projects

In commercial projects, where usability combines with advanced design to enhance functionality and the aesthetics of any space, our System Fx is redefining pivot door applications. Its ability to support doors up to 209 kg makes it a perfect choice for high-traffic environments such as offices, retail, hotels, and restaurants. Providing unparalleled movement and stopping power, it ensures ease of use for customers, employees, and visitors alike.

Offices benefit from creating spaces with pivoting partitions that allow for adaptable meeting rooms or breakout areas. These doors not only divide spaces but also promote collaboration by visually stunningly opening up the environment to their occupants.

In retail spaces, System Fx optimizes the shopping experience with large doors that create a lasting first impression. Or you can use it for interior walls that flexibly adapt to changing layouts and displays. For hospitality, it enables room dividers, private dining areas and inviting lobby entrances.

For public and institutional spaces, including galleries, museums and airports, System Fx offers durability and adaptability. It can accommodate pivot doors that are not only functional but also contribute to the overall architectural appearance of the building. With corrosion-resistant materials and a maintenance-free design, System Fx is an ideal solution for spaces that require reliability and durability.

In any commercial environment, System Fx pivot doors transform into more than just functional elements; they become integral components of the design story, reflecting the brand’s identity and the purpose of the space. With unmatched adaptability, System Fx empowers architects, designers and door makers to create freely.

A variety of materials

System Fx is applicable to doors with a variety of materials, allowing designers to explore endless creative possibilities. Whether the project requires classic wooden doors, steel designs or modern glass panels, System Fx ensures a sustainable high-quality performance.

For wooden doors, the system complements both traditional styles and modern interpretations. Whether used in a minimalist interior or a luxurious home, the natural warmth and character of wood are perfectly combined with the system's concealed hardware.

In steel doors, System Fx excels where robustness and industrial elegance are required. The ability to carry weight without compromising movement or holding positions ensures that even heavier steel doors operate smoothly. This makes it a perfect match for bold designs in both residential and commercial environments.

For glass doors, System Fx provides support while maintaining the lightness and transparency that glass brings to a space. By supporting both frameless and framed doors, it enables designs that allow natural light to flow freely. This builds on the sense of openness and connection between spaces.

The versatility of System Fx also extends to the application of unique materials and hybrid designs. Whether incorporating stone, composite materials or unconventional combinations, System Fx adapts where it is needed.

By supporting such a diverse range of materials, System Fx enables architects and designers to bring their most ambitious visions to life. It ensures that the choice of material is driven purely by design intent, and never by hardware limitations. At least not with FritsJurgens.

System Fx represents a logical step in our pivot door technology. A technology that, as is evident in both System One and System M+, embodies versatility, innovation and quality.

Designed to adapt to different door materials, weights or styles, it gives you pure freedom of design. Whether for interior and exterior doors, lightweight partition walls or monumental doors, System Fx delivers perfect performance in every application. With the icing on the cake being its signature four strong holding positions.

What also sets System Fx apart is its ability to meet the high standards that FritsJurgens is known for. Every component is manufactured with precision and attention to detail. And it is these standards that ensure, among other things, the durability of the system, which will last at least a lifetime.

All this makes System Fx not just a hinge, but a model of innovation. It challenges the norm, transforms creative visions into tangible realities and inspires architects, interior designers and door makers. With System Fx, the future of pivot doors has arrived, and it is as bold and extraordinary as you are.
