What Is a Pivot Door? A Modern Upgrade for Luxury Entrances
When it comes to bold, architectural statements, few elements rival the pivot door. Sleek, oversized, and effortlessly modern, pivot doors are redefining how we think about entryways.
At Texas Glass Door, we design and craft custom iron and glass pivot doors that combine elegance with engineering—perfect for homeowners, architects, and luxury builders seeking the extraordinary.
🔄 What Makes a Pivot Door Different?
Unlike traditional hinged doors that swing on side-mounted hinges, pivot doors rotate on a pivot hinge system, typically mounted at the top and bottom of the door, several inches from the edge.
This unique setup allows for:
- Larger, heavier doors that open effortlessly
- 360-degree design freedom—flush installation, minimal frames
- A smooth, architectural movement that creates a dramatic effect
🧱 Why Choose a Pivot Door?
1. Bold Visual Impact
Pivot doors are striking. Whether it’s a towering iron-and-glass slab or a minimalist steel frame, they turn the entrance into a feature wall. This makes them ideal for luxury homes, galleries, and modern office buildings.
2. Smooth Operation, Even for Large Panels
Our pivot hardware systems can support doors up to 500+ lbs while maintaining a smooth, soft-close function. You’ll feel the engineering with every open and close.
3. Design Flexibility
At Texas Glass Door, we offer fully custom pivot doors, allowing you to choose:
- Iron or steel frame finishes
- Glass type (clear, frosted, Low-E, tinted)
- Dimensions to fit oversized entries
- Handle style, hardware finish, and even custom patterns
4. Indoor-Outdoor Living
Pivot doors can serve as main entrances, patio doors, or even room dividers. With optional multi-lock systems and thermal break insulation, they are secure and energy-efficient.
