Created to address the unique requirements of composite door manufacturers and fabricators, E3 CLD brings the extraordinary potential of Centor's surface-mounted folding hardware to the rapidly expanding market for aluminum-clad timber doors.

Equal Sized Panels
Centor's innovative hinge system (patent pending) provides symmetry to the door design and simplifies the door manufacturing process. Modified panel gaps and frame tolerances ensure enhanced panel sealing and retain E3's versatility to optimise use of this ground-breaking technology in mixed-material applications. 

Simple Adjustment
Easy screwdriver access and simple vertical adjustment of the patented Surelock mechanism on pivots and carriers makes the installer's job even easier. Centor's patented pivot sets uniquely provide horizontal screw adjustment of 5mm making E3 CLD the most practical system for larger composite folding doors.

Durability
Tested to exceed 50,000 opening and closing actions at maximum load, without any component failure, we can confidently offer our 10 year warranty.

Weather
Combining E3 CLD with recommended weather-seals, door systems consistently pass a range of international weatherproofing codes. Also the E3 CLD system accommodates varying door designs so doors can be manufactured for the most severe locations.

Security
E3 CLD systems incorporate locking screws, secure hinges and non-removable components. Centor's dropbolts, specifically designed for use with folding doors, are substantial, robust and lockable so door systems can withstand physical attack.

Wall Pivot
The floating wall pivot is used to control normal door deflection on tall doors and bowing caused by wind or climatic conditions, so maintaining a weather-proof system.  It also enhances security by reducing any leverage applied to door panels and preventing their removal.

Architects and Specifiers
The E3 CLD system is suitable for clad timber door panels up to 80kg. You can simply specify "Centor E3 CLD" and leave the selection of individual components to the joinery manufacturer.
