Can Pivot Doors Swing Both Ways?

Are you looking for a way to add visual interest to your home? Pivot entrance doors are a popular choice because of their effortless operation and sleek design. Built with a hidden rotating pivot system, these doors eliminate the unsightly hardware of a traditional barrel hinge.

Because these doors feature a fully recessed sash that sits flush to the floors, as well as a rotating pivot system,  they can glide both inwards and outwards—it simply depends on your preference.

This enhances the overall operation of the door, so you don’t have to worry about which way to pull on the handle. Additionally, with a fully recessed sash, there is a seamless transition across the threshold of your home, which enhances the door’s overall movement, while also allowing for an aesthetically pleasing entryway that is uniterrupted by a step or ledge.

What Else to Expect From Pivot Entrance Doors

In addition to opening inwards and outwards, these doors are also:

• Resistant to water infiltration
• Hurricane impact approved
• Crafted from wood or thermally broken aluminum-clad wood
• Perfect for oversized entryways

Because of their versatility, pivot entrance doors work particularly well for modern and contemporary homes, where a flush, hardware-minimal look is often part of the overall design. Their oversized capability also makes them a strong choice for grand, statement entryways that smaller hinged doors simply can’t accommodate. Whether you’re renovating an existing entrance or designing a new build from scratch, a pivot door adds both function and architectural presence to your home.
