Submic Dynamics products
How many hinges should a door have?
Rule of thumb: 2 hinges up to 900 mm, 3 up to 1600 mm, 4 up to 2000 mm and 5 up to 2400 mm. Heavier or wider doors need more; the hinge calculator in the Technical Assistant gives the exact result.
Why does my soft-close hinge not close the door fully?
Usually the damping force is too high for the door or the depth is misadjusted. On light doors activate the damper on only some of the hinges, then bring the door closer with the depth screw.
What is the power factor of a lift-up fitting?
Power factor = door height (mm) × door weight (kg, incl. handle). For example 400 mm × 5 kg = 2000. Choose the fitting size that covers this value – the LIFTA calculator recommends the right one.
Do you make custom sizes or custom mechanisms?
Yes. For series projects we develop mechanisms around your product and production process: CAD design, prototype, testing and series delivery. Define your needs in Dynamics Motion and request a quote.
Which tests do your products pass?
Force and displacement are recorded for every assembly, and our measurement and test lab runs micron measurement, pressure and helium leak tests. Test and reporting requirements for a project are agreed together at the quotation stage.
What are the warranty terms?
Warranty terms are stated in your quote and order confirmation for each product family and project; correct installation and use are required.
Where can I download CAD data?
Signed in with an approved account, you can download the 2D DXF drawing, the 3D OBJ/STL model, the data sheet and the tender text from the “Downloads” section of every product page in the eShop and from the Submic CAD page. Downloads are open to approved members only.
Can I request a catalogue?
Yes. Request our technical catalogue on the “Catalogue request” page and our team sends it to your email address as a PDF.
How much load do Dynamics Block frames carry?
Dynamics Block frames are designed for durability and heavy daily use. Depending on the model, they carry a total load of 20 kg to 400 kg.
What is a Dynamics Block table frame?
Dynamics Block table frames are the core structure that turns your furniture into a universe of possibilities. Each Dynamics Block combines highly engineered extension systems with a sturdy metal structure: a semi-complete solution that simplifies production while allowing unlimited customisation.
How do I know which frame is right for my project?
Choosing the ideal frame comes down to three factors: 1. The sizes you want for the tabletop and the extension leaf. 2. The opening mechanism that best fits your design and functional needs. 3. Where the table will be used: indoors or outdoors? Dynamics Block solutions suit tabletops from 1600 mm (closed) to 4000 mm (open); multi-leaf models such as Dynamics Block Fold open up to 4800 mm. For special projects our technical team develops the right solution with you.
Do Dynamics Block frames work with any tabletop?
Our philosophy is to widen possibilities, not limit them. Our frames work with ceramic, natural stone, glass and other materials, provided they are mounted on a layer that takes screws, such as wood-based panels. This versatility lets you create unique tables that reflect each project’s identity.
What are Dynamics Block frames made of?
Our frames are engineered in two high-performance materials: steel and aluminium. Steel frames offer maximum structural strength and suit systems that need high load capacity and durability. Aluminium frames give an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and are especially suited where weight matters.
Is a Dynamics Block frame hard to assemble?
No. Dynamics Block frames are designed for simplicity and efficiency. Every system comes with illustrated instructions and detailed specifications, so assembly is easy. Whether you are a manufacturer, retailer or designer, the process is optimised to save time and maximise efficiency, so you can focus on what really matters: creating outstanding spaces.
Can Dynamics Block frames be used outdoors?
Yes. Our Dynamics Block frames designed for outdoor use combine weather-resistant materials with a sturdy structure for long-lasting durability and performance outside. For special outdoor requirements or harsh conditions, our joint development service with Dynamics Motion adapts the frame design and materials to the environment, so your table works safely on a terrace, in a garden or anywhere outdoors.
eShop and quotes
How do I find out the price of a product?
We do not publish prices on the site. Add the product to your quote list with “Request a quote”, enter your quantity and project and send it; our sales team sends you the price and delivery plan.
Is there a minimum quantity for a quote?
No. You can ask for a single sample or a series-production quantity; the quote contains the price and delivery plan for your quantity.
How are delivery time and shipping determined?
Delivery time and shipping method are stated in your quote, based on quantity and project. We make our products to order; they ship according to the agreed plan.
Can I collect my order at the factory?
Yes. State the delivery method in your quote request; we email you when your order is ready.
How does payment work?
There is no online payment on the site. Payment terms are set out in the quote you accept and in the order confirmation.
Can I return a product?
Return and exchange terms are stated in your quote and order confirmation. If something is wrong on delivery, contact us and our team will sort it out quickly.
How do I create a product list?
Use “Add to list” on the product page to build project-based lists. You can move a whole list to your quote list with one click or download it as CSV.
How does the quote list work?
Collect products and configurations with “Request a quote” on product pages and “Add to my quote list” in Dynamics Motion. The list is kept on this device; when you are ready, you send the quote form in one go.
Can I follow the production of my order?
Yes. Once your quote is accepted and the order is placed, production tracking opens on your order page: planning and engineering, material preparation, production cell, quality control, packing and shipping. You get an email at every change of stage.
The company
How do series-production projects work?
Describe your requirement in Dynamics Motion or the quote form. Our engineering team prepares the CAD design, prototype, testing and series delivery plan for your project; we develop mechanisms for your brand with you, from design to series production.
How do I open an account, and why is approval needed?
Choose an individual or business account in the registration form; business accounts add their company details. Our team reviews and approves the account. Catalogue, data sheet and CAD downloads are open to approved accounts only.
Where can I buy Submic products?
You buy directly from Submic Dynamics through a quotation: add the product to your quote list in the eShop or send the quote form. Products are made to order.
How do I book a visit to your facility?
On the appointment page choose topic, channel (online, phone or facility visit), date and time. A confirmation email and an .ics calendar file are sent.
Does the AI assistant store my data?
Chat content is processed only to generate answers and is not stored against you personally. We recommend not entering personal data; if you ask for a hand-over, only the contact details you provide are saved.
What does “dark rooms” mean?
The areas that house our production cells, which run without needing light or an operator. We make our mechanisms in these cells; six automation cells are ready. Each cell measures, records and makes its own quality decision.
How long has Submic Dynamics been around?
We have been at the same address since 1992: İnegöl, Bursa. We run every step from design to series production in our own facility.
