How are pivot doors installed?
Metal and Glass Pivot Door with Louver Transom
Installing a pivot door involves several key steps:
Install Pivot Hinges: The pivot hinges are mounted at the top and bottom of the door frame, rather than the sides. These hinges allow the door to rotate smoothly around a central axis. Pivot doors can be designed to be self-closing or free-swinging, depending on your preferences.
Mount the Door: Once the hinges are securely in place, the metal and glass door is attached to the pivots and aligned for proper operation. It’s essential to ensure the door is level and balanced for smooth movement.
Adjustments and Finishing: After mounting, the door is adjusted for even clearance on all sides and tested for smooth operation. Any necessary finishing touches are added to ensure a seamless fit within the space.
