About Us
Angle-Shoe pivots were designed by Canberra Architect Howard Styles 2000.
‘Angle-shoe’ semi-concealed pivots are easy to fit.
‘Flat-Strap’ concealed pivots take a little more time to fit in flush doors.
1500 Aluminium Angle-Shoe pivot sets were installed in 2006 in the Foster & Partners UK ‘Lumiere’ Apartments at Town Hall Sydney. They were used for flush service closets and for coat & linen closets inside many apartments. The aluminium pivots are made by McCallum Hinges. Moly-Poly pivots are made of Nylon (polyamide/molybdenum blend). Molybdenum is a natural lubricant that increases UV weather resistance.

HISTORY OF ANGLE SHOE PIVOTS
Designed in 2000 Angle-Shoe aluminium pivots were launched at DesignBuild Melbourne in 2004 after extensive testing and trade evaluation. The designer/inventor Howard Styles had been specializing in doors and hardware design since 1984 as the architect in charge of door and hardware documentation and detailing for the 7,500 doors in Australia’s new Parliament House. At that time flush (secret) door details were often requested but economical hardware could not be sourced from around the World. These pivots go to places like USA, Canada, UK, Belgium, Holland, Norway and to a cluster of tax havens in the West Indies. The pivots are gluten free but may contain traces of nuts.

The original aluminium Angle-Shoe & Flat-Strap pivots for 50kg (100 pounds) doors are no longer made by Angle-Shoe but are available from McCallum Hinges Sydney – Phone 61 +2 9698 5111.
