Pivot doors are rapidly increasing in popularity among homeowners. These products create a dramatic and highly contemporary appearance compared to traditional hinged door systems.
Not only is there a higher level of aesthetic appeal with entryway pivot doors for the home, but these products improve the functionality of the entryway and instantly increase the overall value of the home.
If you have an interest in adding this type of luxurious door to the entry to your home, it is imperative that you learn a few tips on selecting the hardware components associated with the product.
The Handle Hardware
In most instances, pull handles are used in conjunction with pivot doors placed on the entryway of a home. This allows for the highest level of ease in pushing and pulling to open and close the door. These are available in a wide assortment of materials, sizes, shapes, and colors.
If you purchase a door that includes an infill of glass, the handle should be offset. For basic security purposes and to enhance the statement of the door, a handle that measures 900mm or higher should be chosen.
If you live in an area with high levels of humidity, it is advised that you select a handle composed of a strong steel or other metal that is non-corrosive.
The Pivot System
The pivot system that should be used with an entryway pivot door will depend directly on the overall width of the product and the weight. You may choose from floor spring systems, overhead-based transom closer systems that are concealed from view, and even non-hydraulic systems that include a pivot.
If you purchase a pivot door from a company that creates them, sells them, and installs them, they will typically offer you the choice among pivot systems that are best suited to the door that you elect to purchase – which makes choosing this type of hardware MUCH easier!
Locking Systems
Naturally, you will require a sturdy and effective locking system for your entryway pivot door to prevent unwanted intruders and associated complications. The main options in this category include roller lock kits, double-turning lock systems, and digital locks.
Again, when you work with a company that specializes in pivot doors for the home, you will be provided with many options – in terms of a locking system.
