Another reason why you should consider using a pivot door is that it tends to be more stable than other types of doors. This is because a pivot door is supported by the pivot hinge at the bottom of the floor and another pivot hinge at the top of the door. This is in contrast with the regular side hinged doors, where the hinges are installed at the side of the door and the door frame. This side hinged installation loses its stability because the hinge will have to carry the full weight of the door, which is why you’ll notice that one hinge often gives way before the other. There are ways to deal with this issue though, and that is by reinforcing the frame of the door. Like horizontal bi-fold doors, it is important that pivot doors be installed by professionals to ensure its stability and safety. So if you’re looking or wanting to install a heavy door in your entrance, then a pivot door is the answer.
