An iron pivot door is a beautiful and exquisite addition to any home. The doors that you utilize on your property are considered to be a sound long-term investment that creates both a striking first impression and increases in the overall value of your home.
It does not matter if you are in search of a way to update the exterior of your property or if you just want to do something a little different to your home, a custom iron pivot door is a wonderful way to go. In this guide, you will be introduced to several considerations that should be made prior to making your order.
The Size
The first consideration that should be made is the size of the door that you need and/or want. Entryway doors typically measure in at a height of anywhere from 80 inches to 96 inches. In most instances, custom iron pivot doors measure in at least these heights or larger.
It all depends on what you want and what you need – in terms of functionality. When considering the size, you should also consider whether or not you want a single door or a double door.
The Design of the Frame
The next consideration that should be made when electing to purchase a custom iron pivot door is the design of the frame. There are several unique styles available. The three most popular frame styles include the square top, the square-top eyebrow, and the square-top arch.
It is easier and least expensive to go with a frame design that is capable of fitting within the existing opening. If you want to choose a different frame design, keep in mind that you may have to remodel the existing opening to accommodate the opening.
The Swing
Finally, you must consider the swing of the custom iron pivot door that you have an interest in purchasing. This is which direction the door opens. You may choose from the following:
- The Right Hand In-Swing
- The Left Hand In-Swing
- The Right-Hand Outswing
- The Left-Hand Outswing
“In-Swing” means that the door opens inside of the interior of the home. “Outswing” means that the door opens outside of the exterior of the home. In most instances, entryway doors have an in-swing and patio doors have an outswing. Despite this, you may choose for your door to have any type of swing. Remember, it is your home, your preferences.
