The Folding 180 system uses rototranslating door technology to allow doors to fold back 180 degrees allowing the panels to sit flat against the return wall when in the opening position leaving the room free from any protruding doors, saving space, and eliminating obstructions. The folding 180 system is a track and channel free hinge system with no sliding elements giving a stable and silent action. As well as being an innovative substitute for more traditional folding door systems the folding 180 system can also be used as a space saving alternative for swing doors.
