Are pivot doors better than hinged doors?

Metal and Glass Pivot Door with Louver Transom

Pivot doors offer several advantages over traditional hinged doors, but whether they are "better" depends on your space and needs. Pivot doors provide a wider opening and allow for smoother operation, especially for large, heavy doors, as the pivot hinges distribute weight more evenly. They also add a modern, minimalist aesthetic that can make a bold statement in any room.

However, pivot doors are generally more expensive and require a precise installation. For spaces that benefit from a sleek, contemporary design, pivot doors are often the better choice, especially when paired with metal and glass for an ultra-modern look.

At Forge 53°, we create custom metal and glass pivot doors that offer a stylish alternative to traditional doors, ideal for spaces where design is just as important as functionality.
