A pivot door turns on an axis instead of opening on side hinges. It is the choice for statement home entrances and for premises with wide access. We supply it made to measure in aluminium. In PVC, ask us.

When a pivot door makes sense
- Home entrances with a large leaf, where conventional hinges fall short.
- Entrances to shops and offices with heavy traffic.
- Façades where a clean, modern line is wanted.
What we decide with you
- The material and the profile system.
- The opening size and the direction of swing.
- The infill: glass or panel.
- The colour, the lock and the handle.
Each pivot door is confirmed once the opening has been measured. We do not publish fixed prices because they depend on the size, the weight of the leaf and the hardware.
Pivot door or hinged door: how to decide
A hinged door turns on side hinges; a pivot door turns on a vertical axis near the centre of the leaf. That difference changes the look of the entrance and the type of hardware, so it is best decided with the opening in front of you: the width, the height, the weight of the leaf and the free space for the swing. If a conventional door suits your case better, we will tell you.
What to have to hand when asking for a quote
- The width and height of the opening, in millimetres if possible.
- The height of the finished floor, or how the paving will end up.
- The swing side, seen from inside.
- Whether it is the entrance to a home or to business premises.
- Photos of the opening with a tape measure in view: we check them before ordering.
Whoever asks for the quote (you or your installer) takes the measurements and is responsible for them. If you prefer us to measure, ask for it in the quote.
Frequently asked questions about pivot doors
What is a pivot door?
A door that turns on a vertical axis near its centre rather than on side hinges, so it can be wider and taller and gives a cleaner entrance.
What material do you supply it in?
Aluminium, made to measure. For PVC, ask us.
What measurements do I need?
The width and height of the opening, the height of the finished floor and the swing side seen from inside. If in doubt, send us photos with a tape measure in view and we will check them before ordering.
Can I order it without installation?
Yes, supply only for you or your installer, or with our installation. You state it in the quote.
Are the lock and hardware included?
It is itemised line by line in the quote; hardware and lock are confirmed when the opening is measured.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size, the glass and the hardware. Ask for a written quote, with no obligation.
With or without installation
You can order it supply only or with installation by our team. If you need several doors and windows at once, ask about the special volume price for orders of 5 or more windows or doors.
Terms of the special volume price: it applies to orders of 5 or more windows or doors (each opening counts as one unit) included in a single quote and accepted at the same time. It applies with or without installation. It cannot be combined with other offers or promotions. The price is stated in writing in your quote and is valid for the period shown in it.

Windows and doors are made with the measurements and options you choose. For that reason, once the order is confirmed they carry no right of withdrawal (art. 103.c of the Spanish Consumer Protection Act). This does not affect the legal guarantee: if something arrives defective, we put it right. If the quote includes catalogue items that are not made to measure, it will state which of them can be withdrawn from. All of this is set out in writing in your quote, before you pay anything.
