Pivot Doors are an excellent selection for applications that require a large opening with minimal floor space interruption. Pivot door pins are located at the top and bottom of the frame, allowing the door to pivot. Each doors pivot point is custom located by request; center and off center pivot locations are available (subject to engineering approval).

The key feature of a pivot door is the location of the offset hinge. On a traditional terrace door, the hinge is placed on the left or right; the pivot doors hinge is located at the top and bottom of the frame. This location allows the door to pivot left to right.
Center and off-center pivot locations are acceptable on the top of the frame. When the door is pivoted, a large opening remains; which allows for sizable items to pass through the framework that may be hindered with a regular terrace or French door.
