Structural Features and Installation Process of Pivot Wooden Doors

When it comes to modern or contemporary home designs, pivot doors are becoming very popular because of their structural features and aesthetics. We at Prettywood, with our extensive experience in the door manufacturing industry, can manufacture a variety of stylish yet functional pivot wooden doors. It is important for the homeowners and architects to understand the structural features and installation procedure of these doors before planning to use them for their projects.

Features of a Wooden Pivot Door

The primary feature of wooden pivot doors is that they do not swing on a hinge line but rather on a vertical gaining point. This movement is only made possible by pivot hinges that are located somewhere on the edge of the door frame. It is these hinges that keep the door in the vertical orientation and allow it to rotate freely thus allowing it to go from open to closed and vice versa.

Materials Used and Aesthetic

Prettywood manufactures only solid wooden pivot doors which guarantees long term use. Because we use the best materials available in the market, our doors have exceptional resistance to wear. The structure of these doors is usually very simple consisting of straight lines and minimalistic design elements making it easy on the eyes.

Size and Weight

Because of their size and weight, pivot wooden doors tend to be heavy and will need strong frames as well as reinforced floors to hold them up. Since pivot hinges are used to install the doors, the weight of the door is equally bounded over the four hinges which makes sure it has a stable operation over the years.

Installation Procedure for Pivot Wooden Doors

The installation of the pivot wooden doors should be carried out with caution as the alignment is very crucial for the smooth operation of the door. Here are the steps to the general procedure of installation:

Preparation Before Installation

Measurements of the opening should be taken appropriately and the resting area should be well prepared in advance. This would also include support of the floor and wall structure to meet the limits of the wooden door and the pivot hinges.

Fitting the Hinges

The hinges, called the pivot hinges, need to be fixed against the door and then onto the floor or the wall. To avoid binding or wobbly movement of the door these hinges need to be aligned properly.

Adjustment of the Door

The movement of the door can be controlled by fine-tuning the hinges. Once the hinges are set up correctly, the door can be adjusted to make sure it hangs level and also opens and shuts easily.

Final Details

After the door is finally functional, the final details are fitted such as locks or door handles. These supplementary items not only improve the aesthetics of the wooden door, but also fulfill certain requirements.
