Looking to make a bold design statement? A pivot door—whether installed at the front of or inside of the home—offers homeowners a stunning blend of form, function and flexibility by combining pivot hardware with any door design.

Why choose a pivot door?

Unlike traditional hinged doors, pivot doors rotate on a central axis, creating a wider, more dramatic swing. This makes them ideal for large openings and modern architectural style homes. Their striking design and smooth operation also empowers homeowners to create a statement-making entrance at the front of their home.

Similarly, interior pivot doors help support seamless transitions between rooms and serve as a dynamic centerpiece in open concept spaces. Their innovative design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a home but also provides improved functionality in high-traffic areas. Plus, these doors can be customized in any almost any shape, XL size, or design to maintain architectural consistency with the rest of the home.

How Simpson’s wood pivot door collections compare

Homeowners who want to bring a wood pivot door into their home can turn to Simpson Door Company’s award-winning Pivot Door System. Every Simpson Pivot Door System is built with performance in mind. For example, the reinforced pivot door hardware ensures smooth, stable operation that can be moved with touch-of-a-finger guiding.

To meet a range of project specs, budgets, styles and hardware preferences, Simpson’s Pivot Door System is now offered in Luxury and Standard Collections.

  • The Luxury Collection Pivot Door System uses a multipoint locking system and roller latch in exterior applications, which is the most secure option and is designed to accommodate heavy, oversized doors. The collection’s high-performance hardware allows for more customizations. For example, homeowners can customize the factory settings and make adjustments to the Pivot Door System operating speed, the soft-close/latch, and how far the door can open for improved accessibility. At the higher-end price point, the Pivot Door System also comes with stainless steel or matte black pulls, which lend a contemporary aesthetic. Plus, a full metal edge band helps prevent warping and like all Simpson doors, the exterior model can be ordered with UltraBlock® technology for enhanced protection against the elements.

    The Luxury Collection exterior pivot doors come in widths ranging from 3’6” to 5’0” and a thickness of 2-¼", which makes this collection well-suited for homeowners who have an enormous front entrance to work with. The thickness of the door, in particular, adds to the rich and robust appearance of the Pivot Door System. The result is a statement-making home entrance.

    Similarly, Luxury Collection interior doors are available in widths from 3’0” to 5’0” with thickness options of 1-¾" or 2-¼” to help create fluid transitions throughout the home.

  • The Standard Collection Pivot Door System is designed with value in mind. Still, like the Luxury Collection, Standard Collection pivot doors come equipped with all the necessary hardware included in the door unit to eliminate additional jobsite preparation. Standard Collection exterior pivot doors feature double bore prep and are available in widths ranging from 3’0 to 5’0 and thicknesses of either 1-¾" or 2-¼". This collection is ideal for homeowners working with a standard doorway—one that may not be able to accommodate a Luxury Collection model. Similarly, it’s also a smart choice for someone who appreciates the functionality of a Pivot Door System but who doesn’t want the thicker, heavier-looking wood slab that you’d see on the Luxury Collection pivot doors.

    Standard Collection interior pivot doors feature a single bore prep and can come in any width up to 5’0 with a thickness of 1-⅜" or 1-¾".
