Configurations

Inswing, outswing — plus transoms and sidelites.

Available in both inswing and outswing layouts to match the architectural intent of the entryway, with matching transoms and sidelites available to complete extensive entry configurations.

EXTERIOR INTERIOR
Inswing

Pivots inward, into the foyer

Standard choice for most Florida entryways. The panel swings into the foyer on the pivot hinge — the dramatic, low-friction movement that defines the pivot category.

  • Standard Florida residential layout
  • Clear porch / exterior path
  • Requires foyer swing clearance
EXTERIOR INTERIOR
Outswing

Pivots outward, onto the porch

Used when the foyer cannot accommodate the panel's swing path or when the entry design calls for outward operation. Adds wind-load resistance against the door — storm pressure pushes the panel closed.

  • Tight-foyer or stairwell entries
  • Wind pushes door closed in storms
  • Requires clear exterior porch

Matching transoms

Fixed glass panel above the door adds height, daylight, and dramatic scale to the entryway.

Matching sidelites

Narrow glass panels beside the pivot for symmetry and additional daylight at the entry foyer.

Pivot door FAQ

Common questions.

What is a pivot door?

A pivot door rotates around a vertical pivot hinge near the floor and ceiling rather than swinging on side-mounted hinges. The geometry supports oversized panels (up to 60″ wide) while still delivering smooth, low-friction operation — the defining look of modern luxury entryways.

Can pivot doors be hurricane-rated?

Yes. Our pivot doors are Miami-Dade Approved with a design pressure rating of +60/-60 psf. The aluminum T6 frame, laminated impact glass, double weatherstripping, and integrated threshold form a single certified assembly.

What's the maximum size for a pivot door?

Door panel up to 60″ wide and 109 7/16″ tall. With a matching transom above, the full assembly reaches 144″ (12 ft) in height — ideal for grand entries with high foyers.

Inswing or outswing — which should I pick?

Inswing is the standard — choose it when the foyer has clearance for the panel's swing path. Outswing makes sense when foyer space is tight or when the entry design calls for outward operation. We mock up both during the estimate to confirm clearance.

Can I add sidelites or a transom?

Yes. Matching sidelites (one or two) and a transom above can be integrated into the entry assembly. Everything is sized, finished, and certified to match the pivot panel — one combined Miami-Dade NOA for the full entryway.
