pivot exterior door
A wood pivot front door is a modern, architecturally distinctive entry door made primarily from hardwood that opens by rotating on pivot hinges, rather than traditional side hinges. 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.
Crafted from Premium quality hardwood, like walnut wood, oak wood, Mahogany wood, these doors showcase the natural warmth, grain, and character of timber, while offering a clean, contemporary look. They can be customized with different wood species, finishes, glass inserts, or metal details, blending modern design with timeless materials.
In addition to their striking appearance, wood pivot front doors operate smoothly, handle weight effortlessly, and can be equipped with smart locks and multi-point locking systems, combining beauty, innovation, and security in one impressive entrance.
