Pivot doors

Standard doors carry their weight on wall-mounted hinges, which often limits their size. A pivot door can completly elevate your living space and interieur. These doors rotate on an hidden vertical axis, integrated seamlessly into the top and bottom of the door. Because the weight of the door is supported by the floor, a pivot door closes with a remarkably light, fluid movement.

Our signature slim 30 millimetre profile ensures that even large glass panels maintain an elegant, minimalist look. Whether you want to create a grand entrance between your hallway and living room or want to design a seamless room divider, pivot doors offer a statement that no other door can.

Smooth pivot door

Free floating doors

What makes a pivot door unique is the way it moves. Because of the pivot point at the top and bottom there is no need for a visible frame or heavy hinge hardware. Our doors are crafted from high-quality, thick, powder-coated aluminium. Our base colour is black. However, if you prefer white, bronze or gold, almost any colour is possible. The entire mechanism of this unique door is engineered to form a unity with the profile. This creates a clean, minimalist appearance where the door looks as if it is floating in the opening.

Why pivot doors don’t need a frame

Traditional steel doors hang from side hinges, which requires a sturdy frame to support the weight and prevent sagging of the door over time. A pivot door transfers its entire load directly into the floor and ceiling. Because these solid mounting points carry the weight of the door from below and above, a separate door frame is unnecessary. 

This clever engineering places the door beautifully within the wall opening/door frame without any heavy hardware. You are left with a simple, minimalist design that shows nothing but the slim aluminium profile and the large glass panels.

Configure your pivot steel door

Soft-close and auto-return mechanisms

Soft-close and auto-return mechanisms

Our pivot doors come with advanced hardware options to control the movement of the glass panel. The soft-close mechanism slows down the door at the very end of its swing. This ensures a gentle and quiet close every time. 

The auto-return option brings the door back to its fully closed position automatically after you walk through. This soft close pivot system is perfect for replacing almost any door in your home or office. The mechanism shuts the door without any effort from your side. It maintains a clean look and a quiet atmosphere throughout your home.

Safety glass

Safety glass

Our pivot doors feature six-millimetre laminated safety glass. This glass keeps the door panel light. This light panel ensures a smooth and effortless rotation on the pivot points, which makes the door easier to open.

Tall pivot doors and proportions

When choosing a pivot system, the height of your opening plays a major role in how the door looks. When it comes to a pivot door, a design rule that often goes unsaid is: the bigger the better! The signature floating effect truly comes to life and looks completely intentional.

These grand proportions allow the clean lines of the slim profile to stretch out. It creates a balanced and elegant look in your home. Our specialists can manufacture single pivot doors up to a maximum width of 150 centimetres (or double doors) and a substantial height of 300 centimetres. To ensure everything fits perfectly, our surveyor will do a standard engineering check during the home visit.

Preparing your home for a pivot door

How a pivot door fits into an existing opening

Installing a pivot door differs significantly from mounting a standard door system. Pivot doors require a solid base for mounting the pivot brackets to the cealing or top of the doorframe. This will give the screws something to bite into. Our system can be placed on any floor.
The bottom bracket will be secured on the floor with special bolts that only penetrate 1cm into the floor. Held tight with special plugs.

Our surveyor will confirm whether your floor and ceiling can handle the load during the home visit. The preparation process is typically very straightforward in a new-build property. It can be slightly more involved in a retrofit project for an existing house. Our team will guide you through the necessary steps in your specific situation. This ensures a good fit and a smooth installation at your home.

Is your question not listed?We’re happy to help!

At what witdth is the pivot hinge located?

As standard, the pivot point is positioned 10 cm from the side of the door or the wall.
In some situations, the pivot point can be positioned differently, for example with an extra-wide door. This must always be discussed with our specialists to ensure the door operates correctly and can be installed safely.

The door can always open in both directions up to 90 degrees. Where space allows, it can open as far as approximately 150 degrees.

Will the pivot mechanism wear out?

Our pivot hardware is engineered to last for decades in a standard residential home. The mechanism is rated for exceptionally high cycle counts, well beyond any realistic lifetime use of an interior door. You do not have to worry about the system sagging or losing its smooth motion over time. Does a component ever require maintenance? The auto-return cartridges can be replaced easily. This quick service happens without disturbing the door panel or the surrounding wall structure.

Can a pivot door be used as an external door?

No, Emezzi pivot doors are designed strictly for internal door openings. They do not feature the weather-stripping or insulation required for an external front entrance. Our doors are engineered to create seamless transitions and optimize light flow between the rooms inside your home.

How tall can an Emezzi pivot door be?

Our production process accommodates heights well beyond the limits of a typical hinged door system. The absolute maximum height for your specific project is determined by our engineering checks during the survey, but is maximum 300 centimetres overall.  This depends heavily on the structural strength of your ceiling and floor. We recommend booking your home survey early if you are planning a particularly tall opening.

Are pivot doors more expensive than hinged doors?

Pivot doors are often more affordable than hinged doors because they do not require a frame. This means less material is needed. Hinged doors also take more time and effort to install, which can increase the overall cost.

Thanks to the high-quality pivot system, the heavy glass panel moves smoothly and almost weightlessly. Our online configurator shows the full price as you design your door, making it easy to compare the costs before making your final choice.
