Pivot / Floorspring Door

If you’re looking for a grand and bold entrance into any space, then pivot doors are the ideal type of door to install. The pivot allows for these doors to rotate on a spindle as opposed to hinges which are fixed and attached to a door frame. It’s the perfect type of door for grand entrances into both residential and commercial spaces. Known for their super stability as pivot doors do not have to rely on hinges, but rather the top and bottom pivots hold the weight of the door so that in time and through wear and tear the door does not move out of place. One can achieve larger door panel sizes of up to 1.5m wide.

If aesthetically appealing doors are what you are looking for, especially for a grand entrance, the pivot door is the choice for you. We custom make these doors to your requirement. Be it a blend of aluminium panels and tinted glass or just a full pane clear glass panel we have the solution for you.

Benefits of a Pivot Door:

  • Aluminium pivot doors require less maintenance than other types of doors as they are safe against rust and corrosion.
  • These doors are more energy efficient as the glass used for the panes can either be double or single glazed glass which creates insulation and allowing a room to either retain heat or remain cool.
  • These doors are weather resistant, they will not corrode, discolour, bend or crack over long periods of time.
