Custom Pivot Door Installation
Transform Your Entrance with Stunning Pivot Doors - Expert Installation, Premium Hardware, Modern Designs
What Are Pivot Doors?
Pivot doors represent the pinnacle of modern door design, offering a dramatic and elegant entrance solution. Unlike traditional hinged doors, pivot doors rotate on a vertical axis using specialized pivot hardware, creating a stunning architectural statement that transforms any entrance.
These innovative doors can be significantly larger and heavier than conventional doors, with some installations reaching heights of 4 meters or more. The pivot mechanism distributes the door's weight evenly, allowing for smooth operation even with oversized or heavy materials like solid wood, steel, or glass.
At Granite Carpentry, we specialize in custom pivot door installations throughout Johannesburg and Pretoria, bringing over 15 years of expertise in creating breathtaking entrances for luxury homes, commercial properties, and modern architectural projects.
