Pivot Door vs Hinged Door – Which One Should You Choose?

Pivot Door vs Hinged Door – Which One Should You Choose?

Choosing the right style for your front door or external timber door? At AMS Doors, Timber & Hardware, we offer both pivot doors and hinged doors, custom-built to suit your home’s design and functional needs.

✅ Hinged Doors are the traditional choice, ideal for standard-size timber doors, offering reliable performance, simple installation, and compatibility with all locks and handles.

✅ Pivot Doors rotate on a central or offset pivot mechanism, creating a bold architectural statement. Perfect for wider or oversized entry doors, they offer a modern look with smooth operation.

📏 Our recommendation: If your door is over 1200mm wide, we strongly recommend a pivot door system for better weight distribution and stability. However, pivot doors can be installed at any size, and we can custom-build the right system for your needs.

Available in beautiful timbers like Blackbutt, spotted gum, maple, and cedar, both pivot and hinged doors can be fitted with 6.38mm laminated safety glass and premium smart lock hardware from brands like Yale, Lockwood, Lane, and Gainsborough.

Not sure which door suits your space? Our expert team is here to help with advice, supply, and installation.
