Tight spaces demand intelligent solutions. Rubner Doors offers new concepts to optimize your living space.

Rubner Türen Special-function doors Folding and space-saving doors

Sometimes there’s not much space: in passages and small rooms, pantries and angular spaces. In these places a normal hinged door takes up so much space it can get in the way or bump into a nearby wardrobe. Rubner offers two ingenious solutions: space-saving doors and folding doors. Both systems are made to measure and can be individually designed to suit your preferences like any other Rubner door.

Folding doors are the first option for making the most of limited spaces. Essentially they consist of two narrow door leaves installed into a normal wall opening. They are linked by a second set of hinges and <use much less space</strong> than a normal hinged door. Like any other door from Rubner these models are also made to measure at the customer’s request. However there is one limitation: Because of the split running down the centre, certain types of glass panel, borders and reinforcements (additional layers) are not possible.

The advantages
• Saves space by using 2 separate folding leaves
• Guide rail at the top and sturdy fittings make it easy to use
• Can be locked using an integrated locking system
• Made to measure in any type of wood
• Freedom to design the door how you want it

Individual design

Folding doors are needed when it gets tight. But this doesn’t cramp the flexible design of the doors: The dimensions and surfaces can be adapted to the customers’ wishes.

Don’t get unhinged!

Stable hinges

The hinges are the most heavily stressed parts of a door – and folding doors have an additional set. This is why we only use the most stable products for this task.

Opening radii

A folding door takes up less space than a traditional revolving door: Red is the space needed by a folding door, grey that of a traditional internal door.

The clever alternative

Folding doors as spacesavers

A folding door is a brilliant invention: With a second line at the hinges, the opening radius is greatly reduced. This makes folding doors a perfect choice even in very constricted spaces.

Space-saving doors are the masters of modesty: They open without grabbing space and standing at a right angle to the wall – instead they draw back, thanks to a sophisticated 2-point system of fixing in the frame, so that they need much less space than a traditional door. And they are much more flexible in another way too: Space-saving doors don’t just open in one direction like a “normal” hinged door – they open inwards and outwards. A sensible alternative when every centimetre counts.

The advantages
• Saves space by opening in a reduced radius
• Allows disability-friendly access in small spaces
• Opens inwards and outwards
• Robust, durable fixing technology
• Made to measure in any type of wood
• Freedom to design the door how you want it

New room concept

With the innovative ERGON fitting system, the usual pivoting centre of the door is moved so that the door leaf opens and – above all – swivels in. This prevents the door from swinging a long way out i

Saving space in style

Less required space

Space-saving doors open in both directions and have a much smaller opening radius than traditional revolving doors: The space marked red is what a space-saving door needs, grey is what a “normal” revolving door needs.

ERGON special fitting

Space-saving doors need a special kind of attachment. The two fitting plates at the top and bottom keep the door securely in place and enable the door leaf to be swivelled inwards and outwards.
