Elegant Pivot Entry Doors - Elevate Curb Appeal
Thursday, September 12 2024

Pivot doors, the epitome of contemporary design, are revolutionizing the way we perceive entry doors. Unlike traditional hinged doors, pivot entry doors bring a fresh, sophisticated look to your living space. In this blog post, we delve into the unique features and customization options that make pivot doors the ideal choice for those looking to elevate their home’s aesthetic.

 

  • The Contemporary Advantage: Pivot doors rotate on a pivot point, providing a distinctive and modern look. Unlike standard doors that swing from traditional hinges, this design enhances your home's visual appeal and adds a unique touch. The contemporary design highlights the seamless integration of expert craftsmanship and exquisite detailing in every door.

 

  • Customization for Your Unique Aesthetic:  Tailor your door to match your home’s unique aesthetic with options like clad finishes, a choice of five standard colors, and the possibility of custom color selection. Choose from an array of 18 wood species with pre-finished options available to suit your preferences. Our pivot doors feature top-of-the-line hardware, including the FritsJurgens System One Free Swing, M+32 Self-Closing, and Dorma LM Series Free Swing with a Magnet-Catch from Ghostop in black stainless steel.

Notable Customization Options for Pivot Doors

Elegant Hardware:
The thumb turn and backplates in black satin nickel add a refined touch to the overall design.

The FritsJurgens M+32 self-closing System offers precision engineering for any size pivot door, allowing for a smooth, controlled closure with fully adjustable speed and latching options. Its hidden mechanism ensures a seamless, modern aesthetic without sacrificing functionality, providing an effortless user experience while enhancing the door’s sleek design. Perfect for both residential and commercial spaces.

The FritsJurgens System One features a free-swing pivot door system that allows for effortless, smooth motion without a hold or close position. This versatile system is ideal for creating fluid transitions between spaces while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. Fully concealed within the door, System One provides maximum design flexibility, supporting doors of various sizes and materials while ensuring a seamless appearance with no visible hardware.

The Dorma LM Series Free Swing System delivers exceptional ease of use with its smooth, unobstructed swing function. Designed for both elegance and performance, this system allows doors to open effortlessly in both directions while remaining seamlessly integrated into the door frame. Ideal for high-traffic areas, the Dorma LM Series combines durability with a sleek, modern look, ensuring reliable operation and enhanced user comfort.

The Ghostop Magnet Catch enhances the functionality of free swing hardware by providing a discreet and effective solution for door hold. When integrated with free swing systems, it allows the door to remain in an open position without drifting, thanks to the magnetic hold. This feature ensures that the door stays in place when opened and closes softly and securely when released. The Ghostop Magnet Catch is ideal for maintaining a clean, unobtrusive look while offering practical benefits in high-traffic or frequently used areas.

 


Elevate your home’s aesthetic with pivot entry doors that redefine contemporary design. With customizable features, high-quality hardware, and versatile style options, each pivot door is truly a work of art. Make a statement with a door that captivates and leaves a lasting impression on all who enter.  Learn more.
