These pivot hinges are mounted at the top and bottom of the door, typically a few inches in from the edge, allowing the door to swing smoothly on a vertical axis. This unique mechanism supports larger, heavier door panels, making it ideal for bold, statement-making entrances.

They can be customized with different wood species, finishes, glass inserts, or metal details, blending modern design with timeless materials.
