To touch the future there is no need to build a time machine. It is enough to install glass pendulum doors in the house. The classical form, clear colors and straight lines of construction allow this type of door to be universal. The color palette from the soft pastel tones of glass to metal "high-tech" makes it appropriate to use a pendulum door in any interior.

Texas of the last century. Western Saloon tavern
The appearance of pendulum doors is due to the "western saloon" style. The first doors of the western saloon appeared in Texas. They used to decorate the entrance to the taverns.
Convenience of the pendulum doors of those times the cowboys instantly felt on themselves: entering the tavern the door could be opened with a foot, and leaving after a couple of glasses of drunk beer calmly and unhindered to fall back.
Thanks to the development of new technologies and the efforts of designers, the modern interior was successfully filled with pendulum doors.
Modern pendulum doors are radically different from their shabby predecessors. These are stylish mobile constructions, which are most practical to use in places where people pass a lot.
But real connoisseurs and fans of Western style will certainly want to buy and install such doors in a country house. What is interesting about the design of doors and how the pendulum doors fit into the interior of a modern house?
Design of pendulum doors
types and sizes
Structurally, the pendulum door is no different from the traditional door, entrance or interior. The same door leaf made of tempered glass, stationary vertically positioned or pushing handles and closers.
The only obvious advantage is that the door frame is not required for installation. The variants of the execution of doors assume:
- one- or multi-leaf construction
- pendulum door
- single-leafed with a side, upper or dull fragment
- multivalve with upper fixedly fixed fragment.
Naturally, with the first door design as in that tavern, there is nothing in common, and the material of manufacture is now completely different.
fabrication material
The simplest material for making doors is a tree. It is not difficult to install pendulum doors made of wood.
Doors pendulum PVC can also be called a standard door structure, equipped with a double-glazed window or a sandwich panel.
A more interesting design for aluminum pendulum doors. A durable glass is installed in a frame made of an aluminum profile and hinges are selected.
The functionality and style of glass is most fully expressed in products, for example, in glass pendulum doors. Excellent solution for modern design and appropriate repair. The durability of the tempered glass and the reliability of the impact-resistant film, plus the ease of mounting the glass pendulum door and now the interior of the apartment or house can be considered renewed.
Doors of pendulum type can be of solid size and have an impressive weight. So, for example, with a door width of 1100 mm, its weight can be 80 kg, and for a width of 1,400 mm with the profile of a bumper, the weight can reach 150 kg.
Fastening of doors
With the pendulum opening of doors, the whole secret of working capacity is enclosed in special loops, which can serve simultaneously as an argument mechanism.
When the doors are opened, a small mechanical effort is sufficient to determine the kinematics of the movement. Classical fastening during installation is carried out in the ceiling of the opening and in the floor. On the glass canvas, pendulum loops are installed, the upper and lower ones.
Such awnings-loops are a spring axial mechanism, which serves as the axis of rotation of the door leaf. The opening angle of the pendulum doors can be from 90 to 105 degrees.
The main types of accessories for pendulum doors
The basic elements of fittings for glass pendulum doors are:
- closers
- handles, locks and hinges
- upper corner fittings
- glass-to-glass connectors.
hinges for pendulum doors
For the lightness and smooth running of plowing and closing doors answer loops. Hinges can have the following structures:
- repeating the function of the door closer (TENSOR)
- with protection against damage and pinching of fingers (system BEYOND)
- without visible fastening elements (VISUR system function).
door closers for pendulum doors
Most of the pendulum doors are completed by the manufacturer of door closers, thanks to which the functions of opening and closing the door are automatic. To operate the door you need two working door closer, but only in opposite directions.
It is clear that one mechanism is located in the upper loop, and the other in the bottom. When the door is opened, the door closer will be activated, configured in a certain direction.
Naturally, these closers have special requirements for installation and operation.
What is the door closer, and how to install it, shown in the video.
Glass pendulum doors in the interior
The pendulum door symbolizes friendliness and openness, and if you add the best qualities of glass, then transparency for all.
High technological design of the door allows you to easily adapt the door to modern living conditions.
And this means that the "pendulum" door can be "entered" into any interior design: a living room, a kitchen, a hallway and even a bathroom.
Glass doors do not have a sound insulation, but a respectable look of the door allows for additional decoration. And, mind you, not bad!
A small living room with a double glass door, made of tinted glass or decorated with fusing, will decorate the pendulum door.
It is noticed that it is possible to get a good height of the premises with the use of glazed surfaces. Glass erases the boundaries between the outer and inner contents and most importantly changes the scale.
To house the kitchen, pendulum doors can be called a find.
Kitchen space can be seen through and the door opening on both sides invites you to enter inward. Boxes for pendulum doors and trim are made of wood with the possibility of painting in the desired color.
A glass partition with pendulum doors, as in this video, and now you can arrange a private room.
