If you own a luxury home, it is essential that you consider replacing – at least – the exterior doors on the structure. This is especially true if you have a desire to showcase the architectural quality and craftsmanship of the structure.

You should opt for a custom-created door that not only offers a unique twist on the design of the home, but also offers a high level of functionality, safety, and security. The one type of door that meets all of these specifications and more is a pivot door. 

What Is a Pivot Door?

Pivot doors received their official patent in the 1970s. Not only are these unique doors designed to create a unique look and feel, they function much differently than traditional doors that utilize hinges. A pivot door has an included pivot point that may be located on the top and/or the bottom of the product, but not on the edge.

It is carefully calibrated to ensure optimal balance. When opening and closing the door, it will appear that the product rotates due to the unique placement of the pivot. As a result, a unique appearance is accomplished that stands out above that of traditional hinged products. 

Can I Purchase a Large Pivot Door?

Yes, it is possible to purchase a large replacement pivot door. These types of doors do not have the same height, weight, and overall size restrictions that are common with traditional doors.

To create exceptionally wide openings, the door will need to be taller than traditional doors. It is important to note than pivot doors are – at least – twice as tall as the overall width.

As a result, the standard pivot door measures in at about 7 feet by 3 feet. The good news is, though, pivot doors can be as small or as large as you want them to be for the exterior regions of your home. 

Does the Architectural Style of the Home Matter?

To a degree, the architectural style of the home is important. If you appreciate the beauty and appeal of traditional styles, it is likely best that you select a hinged replacement door for the exterior of the home. If you appreciate modern and/or the contemporary styles, the pivot door is a perfect option for you.

When choosing pivot doors, you may have them blend in or stand out. There are several unique designs, styles, and glass options available that will make your door unique to your preferences.
