Introduction

Our pivot doors

A modern door system that opens from a pivot point rather than traditional side hinges. This allows the door to move with a smooth, balanced motion and creates a stronger architectural feature within the home. Often used for entrances, garden openings or internal statement doors, aluminium pivot doors bring light, scale and a more refined sense of movement to the space.

Available in three configurations, S-Max, F-Max and X-Max Pivot Doors, our pivot door systems are designed to suit different styles of home and different architectural intentions. From a more understated aluminium design to a bolder framed entrance or steel-inspired finish, each option is made to transform the way a space is entered, bringing light, presence and a considered sense of movement into the home.

All three doors pivot on a hydraulic closer, meaning their movement is controlled and safe, with the option to self-close or hold open.

Configurations

Our pivot doors

01

S-Max Pivot Doors

The S-Max Pivot Door is designed with the slimmest aluminium frames, giving the entrance a lighter and more contemporary appearance. Its pivot opening creates a smooth, balanced movement, allowing the door to feel refined without losing strength.

This system works well for homes where there is a garden entrance, as it is only lockable from the inside. The slimmer frame helps place more focus on the glazing and the space beyond, creating a doorway that feels open, considered and quietly architectural.

02

F-Max Pivot Doors

The F-Max Pivot Door has a stronger framed character, giving the entrance more depth and definition. Its wider profile allows the door to feel more substantial, making it suited to openings where scale and presence are an important part of the design.

This configuration works well when the door needs to hold its own within the architecture. Whether used at the front of the home or as a feature opening, F-Max adds weight, proportion and a more grounded feel to the threshold.

X-Max Pivot Doors

The X-Max Pivot Door is designed for projects that need a sharper, more character-led entrance. Its steel construction gives the doorway a distinctive strength, with a more crafted appearance and a sense of permanence.

This style works beautifully in homes where the door is intended to become a feature in its own right. It is best suited to larger openings and is made from powder-coated steel. It brings definition, texture and visual rhythm to the opening, creating a threshold that feels both practical and architectural.
