What are parallel pivot fittings and what are they used for?

Parallel swing fittings are special hardware components widely used in the furniture industry. They allow doors or flaps on furniture to open and close in a parallel motion. This means that the door or flap remains parallel to the cabinet body throughout the entire movement. The motion is therefore smooth and even.

Parallel swing fittings make it possible to create highly aesthetic and functional design solutions. They produce an innovative yet tidy appearance, as the fittings themselves are hardly visible. In addition, they offer high stability and load-bearing capacity.

• Use in the kitchen: In kitchens, parallel swing fittings are often used for wall cabinets. Since the doors swing parallel to the cabinet body, it is easier to access the upper shelves and visibility is improved.
• Use in the living room: In living rooms, they can be used for TV cabinets or display cabinets to provide elegant, unobstructed access.
• Use in the office: In office environments, parallel swing fittings are useful for filing cabinets and storage furniture to enable quick and easy access to documents or materials.

With proper installation and maintenance, parallel swing fittings can be a durable and impressive design element in any room.
