Pivot door
A pivot door turns on a hinge point set in the floor and head instead of side hinges.
A pivot door rotates on a vertical axis. Because the pivot point sits away from the edge, the door can be very tall and wide and still swing smoothly. It becomes a statement entry.
Our partner Jada says its pivot doors pivot on a hydraulic floor pivot. The pivot hinge carries the weight, so the floor and head must be built to hold it. Ask about weather exposure and drainage at the base. Our pivot door buying guide walks through the choices, and our pivot doors page shows the system.
