Vertical carved lines that emphasise height.
Offset pivots
The pivot set in from the edge so the door swings inside its own width.
Long brass pulls
Full-height or half-height pulls in solid brass.
Pivot Hardware and Door Weight
The whole door rides on the floor pivot, so the pivot must be rated for the door's weight and set level into a sound floor. It is best planned before tile or wood flooring goes down; see builders.
Sealing a Pivot Door
Pivot doors have no hinge side to seal against, so perimeter seals and a drop seal at the sill matter more than on a hinged door, especially in wind-driven rain.
How Much Does a Pivot Front Door Cost?
Most of our custom doors run $4,000 to $20,000, installed; the exact number is set in a written quote once the opening is measured and the materials are chosen. Size and weight drive the pivot rating, and the floor work comes with it.
FAQ

Can a pivot door go in an existing house?
Yes, if the floor can take the pivot; we check the slab and finish before quoting.
Are pivot doors less weather-tight?
They need careful perimeter and sill sealing, which is part of the installation.
