The door is an integral part of the interior decoration. To date, a large number of opening mechanisms are presented. Roto door is one of the most relevant and ergonomic types. Its characteristic feature is a non-standard look, which will definitely complement the fashionable design.
If you have a small living space and every centimeter counts, then doors with a rotary mechanism will help save space. The main advantage will be the ability to open the door both towards you and away from you.
The so-called rotary system is already complete, which is why such doors are on the market ready for assembly. It is very practical, so there is no need to search for additional parts. Installation of the structure is simple if the assembly instructions are followed. For this reason, installation on your own saves a lot of resources.
Prepared modifications are available for sale in sizes supported by GOSTs, which simplifies the purchase and installation. If necessary, it is possible to make a personal application and purchase a form produced according to individual preferences. Doors come with one leaf or two, depending on the width.
They are similar to pendulum doors because they open inward and outward. The door leaf moves away to the side, widening the passage as much as possible. This privilege belongs to sliding doors and doors-books.
When locked, they are no different from normal doors. But when installed correctly, they guarantee a greater degree of noise and thermal insulation.
The swivel system operates freely and silently, and the installation is done in-house. This happens due to the presence of rollers moving along a special groove located on top. Directly, the operating rules imply that when opened, the door rotates around its own axis, shifts to the side, however, with this action, it does not crawl out of the border of the inside of the box.
