Swing doors, also called pivot doors, are the most popular choice for office buildings and other work spaces. The characterising feature of swing doors is that they open both inwards and outwards. Swing doors have no hinges against the door frame – instead, they pivot on an axis point which closes towards the left or right side of the door. Due to this feature, the doors can be manufactured significantly wider than hinged doors. They can be either framed (with extruded aluminium frames) or made as frameless glass doors. As an option, swing doors can be spring-loaded, so that they come to rest in the closed position.
You would choose a pivot or swing door if you are looking for a sleek, modern solution to complement the style of your home or office. If you are looking for a frameless glass door, or for a door which is wider than the more standard widths, then this is the style of door for you.
This is the perfect door style if you want a glass door with no frames or if you need a wider door than most of the more common widths. Unlike hinged doors, swinging doors are manufactured to precise custom sizes that are often larger. For additional ventilation, sidelights can be incorporated into the doors. Glass options for this type of door include toughened glass and laminated safety glass, as well as tinted options in various colors.
