Learn MorePivot Door Expertise
Commercial pivot doors are the preferred entrance solution for architects and designers who require clean, modern aesthetics without visible hinges or overhead closers. Unlike conventional hinged doors that mount on butt hinges along one edge, pivot doors rotate on a single point at the top and bottom of the door, with the weight carried by a floor spring or pivot set concealed in the floor. This allows pivot doors to support much heavier glass panels than conventional hinges and creates the sleek, minimalist appearance that defines premium commercial entrances across the DMV.
The two primary pivot configurations are center pivot, where the door rotates at its midpoint and swings equally in both directions, and offset pivot, where the rotation point is set in approximately 3 to 4 inches from one edge. Offset pivot is the more common commercial configuration because it provides a wider usable clear opening and better wind resistance than center pivot. Floor springs from manufacturers like Rixson and Dorma are the standard mechanism for controlling closing speed, backcheck, and latching action on commercial pivot doors.
