Types of door pivots

The type of pivoting door you choose in New Zealand is based largely on its purpose and there are a number of types to consider:

Floor pivots

Floor pivots are great for heavy doors commonly used in commercial doors and industrial settings. They are typically used in conjunction with top pivots.

Top pivots

Mounted to the top of the door and allowed to pivot around a central point, they are commonly used with floor pivots. A popular choice for glass doors.

Offset pivots

Offset allows you to open doors by pivoting them into their track. You can also open the door by pushing or pulling it. These are best used in areas where space is a little tighter.

Centre hung pivots

These pivots are similar to offset pivots, except that they don't have tracks for their pivot hinge which is why they’re handy for larger doors.

Continuous pivots

Continuous pivots are installed lengthwise across the door which allows it to pivot open and closed. This makes them ideal for particularly heavy or oversized doors.

Spring pivots

These models function using a spring-loaded mechanism that helps them self-close. They are fairly common in residential settings.

The advantages of high-quality door pivots

High-quality door pivots provide several advantages which make them well worth prioritising. Their exceptional construction quality due to the superior grades of materials used is one major advantage that leads to many benefits. Improved durability and longevity as well as the ability to withstand the rigour of daily use is the most telling of these. This, combined with meticulous design, allows for smoother operation and less noise created by friction too. Their excellent build also makes them more secure too, providing extra protection against forced entry and tampering. High-quality models also have sleek and sophisticated designs that fit seamlessly into the modern home in New Zealand. Suppliers of these products also often offer other high-end options like door bolts which you can also add to your design.

How to choose door pivots that are right for you

There are a number of things to consider when choosing the right door pivot. The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you match the correct door pivot to the actual door, looking closely at its size, thickness and weight. The weight is particularly important as the pivot has to be able to bear the weight of the door without being compromised. You should also select a type that is fit for purpose as there are products aimed at the residential market with others intended for the commercial market. This is mostly to do with the amount of use it will likely get and how much regular use it can withstand. The level of security required should also be considered as some doors, especially those for industrial purposes, have extra security features like reinforced mounting plates that may be beneficial.
