Statement entry and walk-in doors
Pivot Doors
A different kind of door for a different kind of space.
Pivot doors rotate on a top and bottom pin rather than hinging at the side. They open with a smooth, architectural feel and work especially well for wide walk-in closet entries where a standard hinged door feels too ordinary. Most pivot applications are single large panels.
From $529— CAD, before tax. Final pricing depends on dimensions, finish, and install path.

Common questions
What is the difference between a pivot door and a hinged door?
A hinged door rotates at the side edge. A pivot door rotates at a point set slightly in from one edge, so both sides of the panel move when it opens.
Are pivot doors a good fit for closets?
For walk-in closets with a larger opening, yes. For reach-in closets, bypass or bifold is usually more practical.
