Modern Pivot Front Doors
Our modern pivot doors turn the front entry into the centerpiece of the home. A single wide panel rotates on concealed hardware for a smooth, balanced swing and a clean, architectural look.
Pivot entry doors carry larger and heavier panels than a standard hinged door, so you can go wider and taller without losing smooth operation. Choose glass, solid, or wood-look panels in a custom size and finish, and we handle measuring, permits, and installation across South Florida.

Exterior Pivot Doors With Real Presence
Exterior pivot doors rotate on a pivot set at the top and bottom of the panel instead of hinges on the side. Because the weight sits on the floor pivot, the door can be much wider than a traditional entry door and still open with a light push. The result is a dramatic entrance that makes a strong first impression.
Modern pivot doors work with many design styles. Go for full glass to bring natural light into the foyer, a solid panel for privacy, or a mix of glass and aluminum for a unique contemporary look. Frames come in white, bronze, or clear anodized, and every panel is built to your opening.
In South Florida, a front door also has to stand up to storms. Our impact resistant pivot doors use laminated glass and reinforced frames, so the entry stays sealed when wind and debris hit. Choosing hurricane impact pivot doors means you get the look you want without giving up protection.
Pivot entry doors are also a smart fit for wide openings where a pair of hinged doors would feel busy. One large panel gives cleaner sightlines, fewer seams, and an easy path for moving furniture in and out of the home.
Every project includes measuring, a review of the opening structure, permitting, and installation by our own crew. Exterior pivot doors depend on precise floor and header work, so professional installation is the key to years of smooth operation.
Pivot Doors: Common Questions
Straight answers before you choose. Find more on our FAQ page and in our cost guide.
What is the purpose of a pivot front door?
A pivot front door lets you use a wider, taller, and heavier panel than a hinged door can support. It creates a bold architectural entrance, opens with a smooth, balanced motion, and gives the home a modern look that stands out from the street.
How much does a pivot front door cost?
Pivot doors cost more than standard entry doors because of their size, custom construction, and concealed hardware. Price depends on the panel width and height, glass or solid design, finish, and installation scope, and impact pivot doors add laminated glass and reinforced frames. We measure your opening and provide a written estimate, and our cost guide explains the main price factors.
What are the dimensions of a pivot door?
A standard hinged entry door is 36 by 80 inches, but pivot doors usually start around 42 inches wide and 96 inches tall. Many modern pivot front doors are 48 to 60 inches wide or more, and each one is built to the exact size of the opening.
What is the widest front door available?
Pivot doors are the widest single front doors you can buy. Because the floor pivot carries the weight, a single panel can reach 5 feet wide or more, depending on the design, material, and the structure around the opening.
What are the disadvantages of a pivot door?
Pivot doors cost more than hinged doors, need a level floor and a strong header for the pivot hardware, and take up more swing space inside the entry. Weatherstripping is also more involved because the panel rotates around a pivot point. Professional installation and the right hardware solve most of these issues.
Are there exterior doors that swing out?
Yes. Outswing doors are common in South Florida because wind pressure pushes them tighter against the frame. Exterior pivot doors can be set up to open in or out, depending on the stops, the layout of the entry, and the space available.
How is a pivot door installed?
The installer sets a bottom pivot in the floor and a top pivot in the header, then hangs and balances the panel so it rotates smoothly. The floor must be level and the header strong enough to carry the load. Every pivot front door installation we do ends with a check of the swing, seals, and locks.
What is the current trend for front doors?
Larger, simpler entries are the main trend: wide pivot entry doors, full or partial glass, slim aluminum frames, and dark finishes such as bronze. Homeowners are also choosing laminated glass so the front door looks modern and protects the home at the same time.
