What is a pivot door?

Metal and Glass Pivot Door with Louver Transom

A pivot door is a door that operates on a set of pivot hinges attached at the top and bottom of the door frame rather than traditional side hinges. This allows the door to open both inward and outward in a smooth, continuous motion. Pivot doors are commonly used for modern interiors, offering a minimalist look with a unique operational style.

Metal and glass pivot doors are particularly popular because they combine the sleek, industrial look of metal with the light and transparency of glass. At Forge 53°, our custom pivot doors are designed for ease of use and style, as well as options for self-closing and 180° operation, adding a striking focal point to any interior space.
