WHAT IS A PIVOT DOOR? 
 
A door which spins about a vertical axis away from the door frame. The nonadjacent axis placement produces a space on either side of the pivot door. The active and inactive areas of a pivot door move in opposing directions to create a dual directional movement. The dual opposing movements of a pivot door create a unique experience that is exclusive to pivot doors.
 
A door that transfers its weight directly downward without interruption. Pivot doors are suspended by hinges placed under and on top of the door. Conventionally hinged doors transfer their weight indirectly through the doorjamb. The stress caused by pushing and pulling causes misalignment and reduces the capabilities of conventionally hinged doors.
