Pivot Doors revolve around a hinge that is offset from where a hinge would be on a traditional door. The craftsmanship and technology of a Pivot hinge allows for a larger opening than most other types of doors since traditional hinges cannot carry the same kind of weight. This is why we recommend Pivot doors for doors that are 42" or larger. This design has its practical uses but it also provides a clean, seamless aesthetic for a home. We strongly support using Pivot doors in a home that has a contemporary, modern, and transitional aesthetic. The Glenview Haus Pivot Front Door collection provides a sleek welcome into any contemporary, transitional and modern Chicago or North Shore home. With state-of-the-art insulation, our Pivot Door Collection is the first of its kind when it comes to practicality in more extreme Chicago or North Shore climates. With a sturdy door thickness, complimentary multi-point lock and a double rabbeted jamb; this door is as safe as it is beautiful.
