Do you want a memorable entranceway that sets your home apart? A pivot door could be the exciting change you’ve been looking for to beautify your home and improve your curb appeal.
You should approach shopping for a pivot door differently than you would a hinged door. Unlike traditional hinged doors, metal pivot doors have hinges at the top and bottom, allowing them to rotate vertically. Given their functional and aesthetic differences from traditional doors, there are some factors you should consider to make the best possible purchase for your property.

Homes That Can Benefit From Pivot Doors
The key feature of pivot doors is that they’re frameless and appear to be hingeless. When closed, they are almost undetectable with no visible mechanisms. When opened, they’re incredibly functional, a touch dramatic, and can have a major influence over the look and feel of a space. This has made them a long-time favorite of architects and interior designers.
If you identify with any of the statements below, a pivot door could be the perfect fit for your home:
- You want to embrace a more Modern or Art Deco style.
- You want your home to feel more spacious.
- You or a loved one has mobility issues/struggles to step over door thresholds.
- You want a unique entranceway.
- You need a very large door for your home or garage.
How to Choose the Right Pivot Door Style
Are pivot doors in style? Yes. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the aesthetic of a pivot door will be right for your home. As mentioned above, pivot doors tend to have a Modern and/or Art Deco style. If your home has a more rustic or farmhouse aesthetic, the average pivot door may not be a good fit. In these cases, we recommend looking into pivot doors made with composite wood, as they tend to have an earthier, homey vibe.

The Best Materials for a Pivot Door
So, what pivot doors are best in terms of materials? The aforementioned composite wood is a great option, but most high-quality pivot doors are made with either wrought iron or cast aluminum. These materials are incredibly strong, durable, secure, and built to last for decades. They’re weather-resistant and will never warp or rot.
