Impact Pivot doors rotate on a central pivot point located at the top and bottom of the door. This creates a smooth, effortless swing and allows for wider door sizes than hinged doors.
Pivot doors can be made in massive sizes, up to 6 feet wide and 10 feet tall. These large doors create the illusion that the door panel is hovering in the opening.
The weight on a pivot door is more balanced than on a hinged door, so even the largest pivot doors are easy to open and close. This can be beneficial for grand entrances, creating a more open and airy feel to your home, or simply allowing for easier passage of large furniture.
They are made with a thick frame and impact-resistant glass, and they pivot on a set of pins located at the top and bottom of the door.

The pivot hardware for these doors can be quite heavy-duty, and may require reinforcement of the wall or floor to support the weight.
They can also be a good choice for homes with large openings, such as grand entrances or patios.
Impact pivot doors are a type of door that is designed to withstand the force of hurricane-force winds and flying debris.
