H131-285 (LH) and H131-286 (RH) Offset single action pivots are a variation of standard single action pivots, designed so that the pivot point is positioned away from the central axis of the rotating object – in this case the door. This offset placement alters the movement of the door throwing it out, creating a swinging or arcing motion that shifts the object’s path during rotation. These pivots are commonly used in wardrobes, cabinetry, and concealed door systems, where the door or panel must clear an obstruction or align differently when opened. The offset design allows for a more ergonomic motion, while still maintaining the simplicity and reliability of a single axis of rotation. Offset pivots are often used to solve spatial challenges and to enhance both the function and aesthetics of moving components.
