External Bi-folding / E2
Simple, elegant functionality, Australian manufacture using Swiss
CNC machine tools, and precision ground bearings make E2 the
right hardware choice for folding doors up to 40Kg (90lb) per panel.
Now with E2 come additional features and options (hence the
plus) to give you value for money and a range of choices when designing
your door opening.

EQUAL SIZED PANELS
Centor’s innovative hinge system (patent pending) reduces
the cost to manufacture panels. The functionality provided to the
door fabricator makes E2 dependable and cost effective.
SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT
Improved screwdriver access and grip are now provided in the patented Surelock™ adjustment which makes the installer’s job even easier. Pivot panels now also use Surelock™ to ensure simple, secure vertical adjustment, while Centor’s patented horizontal screw adjustment of 10mm (3/8”)
is maintained. E2 is the most functional folding door system available.
MORTICED HINGES
In addition to the easy-to-use fast fix hinges, there are now mortice hinges available to facilitate the traditional joinery finish on wood doors.
REBATED CARRIERS
Rebated door stiles (as on French doors) can now be used for openings with odd numbers of panels (eg 2L3R or 1L4R).
CONCEALED FLOOR CHANNEL
In addition to the simpler straight channel and guide system, for a more polished look offset floor guides and pivots enable the guide channel to be located under the doors when they are in the closed position.
WEATHER
The functionality of door systems using E2 hardware
makes them suitable for use in exposed applications. The use of
recommended weatherseal has allowed door systems to pass Australian
and international weatherproofing codes.
WALL PIVOT
The floating wall pivot is used to control door deflection and bowing on tall doors caused by wind loads or climatic conditions.
DOORCALC™
Centor’s Doorcalc™ program is available as a free download from www.centor.com.au. Doorcalc™ runs on Microsoft Excel and can easily be used to specify all of the hardware required for any door opening.
Doorcalc™ calculates door panel sizes based upon a manufacturer’s proprietary manufacturing details selection. You do not need be an experienced user of Microsoft Excel to use Centor Doorcalc™ as it uses a dropdown menu for each decision step.
Doorcalc™ has provision for you to enter your name and a job reference. It will automatically generate a hardware list based upon your selections including barcodes which can be faxed to help eliminate errors in supplying your order correctly.
