Advantages at a glance

  • COMFORT STOP
    The cushioning system for your safety
    Slows down the sliding sashes gently and quietly before the end positions are reached.
    Before the end positions are reached, an innovative, hydraulic cushioning system gently and quietly slows down the sashes.

    COMFORT STOP...

    • prevents the door from banging hard, thus avoiding the associated noise and vibrations,
    • reliably protects against glass breakage and damage to fittings and walls,
    • prevents damage due to doors derailing or tilting,
    • removes the risk of trapped fingers almost entirely.

    COMFORT STOP ensures that everything you appreciate remains safe.

  • PERFECT CLOSE
    The end-position retraction system for perfectly closed doors
    Pulls the door safely to its end position and prevents it from bouncing back, thus ensuring discretion and well-being in perfectly closed spaces.
    The PERFECT CLOSE end-position retraction system closes the sashes fully and safely once they have been slowed down by the innovative cushioning system and
    • ensures that the door closes completely even if not entirely shut tight when in a hurry,
    • keeps the door in position and prevents it from bouncing back,
    • averts undesirable draughts, energy wastage, lack of noise protection, as well as visual impairment of a space arising when doors are not fully closed.

    PERFECT CLOSE ensures silence, discretion and well-being in gently closed spaces.

  • EXACT TRIGGER
    A mechanism you can rely on
    Features a revolutionary design that ensures that the cushioning system always functions reliably.
    Inside the Portavant G fitting system, intelligent design principles (patents pending) ensure their outstanding quality and long service life.

    The design concept offers decisive advantages in comparison to other systems:

    1) Fault-free installation due to the connection of the cushioning system to the end stop
    As the cushioning system is attached to the end stop and the activator connected to the roller assembly, the activator is always in the correct position in relation to the longitudinal side of the track profile, thus ensuring reliable activation of the cushioning system at all times. This prevents damage to the cushioning system which would result from an incorrect adjustment of the endstop or activator.

    2) Excess load protection
    When a door is closed with excess force, it still has some momentum at the end of the cushioning process. If this happens with the Portavant M and Portavant G fitting systems, the end stop finally stops the door before the cushioning system is fully retracted, preventing components of the cushioning system from breaking.

    3) Adjustment possibility for walls which are out of plumb
    The cushioning system is fully functional even when the track profile has not been installed exactly perpendicular to the glass door (due to walls out of plumb, for instance). The activator can be adjusted for any track profile deviation within +/- 3 degrees from the plumb line, and to all height positions of the door sash.

    With EXACT TRIGGER the cushioning mechanism will always work correctly.

  • DOUBLE GUIDE
    The intelligent double guidance system for smooth and quiet operation and increased safety
    Keeps your sashes running smoothly, quietly and safely.
    No safety catch required

    With Portavant G 120, the track profile ensures that the rollers are guided safely both from above and below. Thanks to this intelligent double guidance of the rollers, there is no need for an additional safety catch. This saves time during installation, prevents errors and provides additional safety.

    Smooth and quiet operation even with narrow sashes

    With many other types of fitting, doors tend to tilt during the cushioning action. With Portavant G 120, tilting is prevented by the double guidance of the rollers ensuring that even narrow and high sashes run smoothly and quietly. Thanks to the innovative clamping jaws which hold the sash securely within the roller assembly (neither bonding nor glass drilling required), the sashes may have a maximum height-to-width ratio of 3:1.

    Practical clip-on cover profile

    Due to the double guidance the roller assembly remains correctly in the track profile even when a pendulum impact test is carried out laterally by analogy with the EN 14428 standard for showers. The cover profile does not have to absorb the lateral impact, so that a clip-on cover profile can be used here without any qualms. The clip-on cover profile saves time and offers quick access even after the system has been installed.

    Thanks to DOUBLE GUIDE your door runs smoothly and safely.

  • EASY INSTALL
    The solution for greatest ease of installation
    Makes the installation of sliding doors a breeze.
    Portavant G 120 stands out thanks to a very simple installation process.


    Easy insertion of the glass sashes thanks to a two-part clamp roller assembly

    For all three of the fitting systems, the clamp roller assembly has a two-part design: the clamping jaws and roller assembly are separate components. First of all, only the clamping jaws are mounted onto the sash. The sash is then placed in front of the track profile. Only then the roller assemblies, which previously have been inserted by a swivelling-in movement into the track profile, are screwed together with the clamping jaws, thus avoiding any damage to the running surfaces of the rollers when the heavy sash is inserted into the track profile.

    Secure clamping without glass cut-out – also when using laminated safety glass
    The clamping jaws feature a clamping plate, which ensures that all sashes within the permitted thickness range are securely clamped. Installation errors are avoided because the same screws are used for all sashes and because no special shims or spacers are necessary to compensate for different glass thicknesses. When sashes of a permitted thickness are used, no additional bonding or other means of securing is required even when using laminated safety glass (made of tempered glass). The clamp carrier is pretensioned to ensure that even if the interlayer of the laminated safety glass is compressed, thus reducing the overall glass thickness, sufficient clamping force remains.

    Adjustable from the front
    Before the cover profile is clipped into place, the Portavant G fitting allows for all components to be installed and adjusted from the front.

    • Adjustment of the closing position of the sliding sash
      The closing position is adjusted simply by shifting the end stop. The cushioning system moves at the same time and therefore does not need to be readjusted.
    • Height adjustment of the sliding sash
      The height of the sliding sash is adjusted via an eccentric cam, which allows for an easy +/-4 mm adjustment.
    • Adjustment of the activator
      The position of the activator can be adjusted to any track profile deviation within +/- 3 degrees from the plumb line, and to all height adjustments of the door sash.

    Great ease of installation thanks to a clip-on cover profile
    After a final functional test is carried out with all of the components clearly visible, the clip-on cover profile is pressed onto the track profile from the front. Nothing could be simpler!

    EASY INSTALL makes the installation of Portavant sliding doors a breeze.

  • EASY LOCK
    The solution for easy locking
    Makes it easy to lock your sliding door, whether using an electric lock or door stop profiles with striking plate.
    If you wish to lock your sliding door, there are two options available: an electric lock or door stop profiles with striking plate for mechanical locks.

    1. Electric lock
    The electric lock hides behind the cover profile so that neither the transparent look of the glass sashes nor the elegant design of the profiles is impaired. The lock consists of the following components:

    • the locking hook, which is attached to the end stop,
    • the electromagnet, which is also attached to the end stop and which holds – when energised – the locking hook in the locked position,
    • the locking cam, which sits on the roller assembly and behind which the locking hook latches in place when the lock is closed, and
    • the guiding cam, which ensures that the locking hook always latches in correctly behind the locking cam.

    The electric lock offers the following advantages:

    Ease of installation without glass cut-outs or additional profile overlap
    The space-saving attachment of both the pot magnet and the locking hook at the end stop eliminates the need for glass cut-outs. An additional, lateral overlap of the track profile to accommodate the lock is unnecessary.

    Retrofittable
    The electric lock can be retrofitted. It can be installed on the right or left hand side.

    Snap function
    The electronic lock has a snap function that allows the door to engage with a lock that has already been activated; the locking hook then snaps into place.

    Hazard protection
    The lock is powered by an electromagnet and opens automatically in the event of a power failure. Protection of persons, i.e. a means of escape in the event of an emergency, is given priority over the protection of valuables. A wired switch that interrupts the power supply to the lock should always be installed inside the room to open the lock, allowing anyone inside to leave at any time.

    Compatibility
    The low voltage (24V DC) lock can be connected to and operated with your preferred electronic components.

    2. Door stop profiles with optional striking plate

    Portavant door stop profiles with optional striking plate for hook bolt locks are available for use with a mechanical lock.

    EASY LOCK enables easy locking of your sliding door, whether using an electric lock or door stop profiles with striking plate.
