As an alternative to hinged doors, pivot door panels can also open in or outward by revolving on pivots at the top and bottom of the door. They are available in panel, glazed or glazed/panel configurations and offer the additional advantage of being able to effortlessly operate taller, wider and heavier door panels, than a conventional hinged door. Pivot doors can be free swinging or have the option of hold open and self-closing functionalities.
