These locks also help reduce warping and ensure that the door remains properly aligned over time. Our lock systems provide both security and ease of use.
What makes Pivot Doors unique?
Pivot doors are distinctive because they rotate on a pivot hinge placed at the top and bottom of the door, rather than on the side like traditional hinged doors. We are proud to use Fritsjurgens Pivot Hinge.
This allows pivot doors to accommodate larger, heavier panels while maintaining smooth operation. Their design enables them to create a dramatic, modern entrance that stands out in any architectural setting.

Do Pivot Doors provide good insulation?
Yes, Glenview Doors Pivot Doors provide excellent insulation due to their advanced construction and double rabbeted jambs. The thick door slabs, 3-1/4” thick, create a tight seal when closed, minimizing air leakage and improving thermal efficiency. This reduces energy loss and helps maintain a comfortable indoor climate.
Additionally, the use of high-quality weatherstripping and insulated cores ensures that pivot doors can withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining their energy efficiency.
Can Pivot Doors be customized?
Absolutely. Glenview Haus offers a wide range of customization options for Pivot Doors to suit different architectural styles and design preferences. Clients can choose from various wood species, finishes, glass inserts, and hardware to create a personalized entryway. Panel configurations, sidelights, and transoms can also be incorporated for added visual appeal.
In addition, homeowners can customize the pivot placement, choosing between centered and off-center pivot points. Whether you prefer a contemporary or traditional look, Glenview Haus can tailor the door to your specifications.
I live in a varying climate, is a pivot door good for insulation?
Our Pivot Front Doors are manufactured with double rabbeted jambs that create a tight seal when the door is closed. This double rabbeted system is new to the Pivot Door industry, so the worry about having a poorly insulated door is not a problem in varying Chicago temperatures. Another added benefit of a Pivot Door is that these doors are 3-1/2” thick. This Pivot Front Door is not only manufactured to be beautiful, but safety and insulation are also top priorities.
What are pivot doors?
Pivot Front doors are larger than typical Entry swing doors. Pivot Entry Doors revolve around a hinge that is offset from would be on a traditional Entry swing door. These Pivot Front Doors are visible from all sides and with all details on display. This Pivot Entry Door trend began in warmer climates where insulation is not a large factor in the design process. Typically, standard Pivot Front Doors are not well insulated, creating a draft in your home. Our custom Pivot Front Doors are built with the highest quality draft-resistant products to withstand extreme Chicago temperatures in the Summer and Winter months. With a double rabbeted jamb, these doors are not only well insulated, but they are incredibly secure and are high performing when it comes to protection.
What are multipoint locks used for Pivot Doors?
Multipoint locks serve the purpose of increasing security, increasing insulation, and reducing warping. As the name suggests, multipoint locks are attached at several points instead of just one. While this provides several benefits, what we are most interested in here is warping since Pivot doors are larger and therefore more susceptible. The multiple locking points allow the door to be more anchored and greatly lower warping compared to regular locks.
Why do we use double rabbeted jambs on our Pivot doors?
Double rabbeted jambs address the downside to Pivot doors: lack of insulation. Due to the design of Pivot doors that many companies use, they allow for more airflow even when closed compared to doors with normal hinges. Our double rabbeted jambs address this issue. They allow the gap between the slab and jamb to be much smaller on the side, restricting airflow and improving insulation
How are Pivot doors special?
Pivot doors are special because they can be larger than traditional doors. The hinge is offset from the frame by a couple of inches, allowing the door to handle more weight. Pivot hinges are placed on the top and the bottom of the frame and the door revolves around it. So not only can the door be bigger, but it doesn’t feel as heavy because part of the door is on the other side of the hinge. Pivot doors are great for those who would like a larger front door, and they fit perfectly for houses with a contemporary, modern, or transitional architectural style.
Are Pivot Doors secure and durable?
Yes, Pivot Doors from Glenview Haus are built with security and durability in mind. Our doors feature multi-point locking systems that secure the door at multiple points, providing enhanced protection against forced entry. Additionally, the thick, solid construction of Pivot Doors adds an extra layer of strength and stability.

What are multipoint locks used for Pivot Doors?

Why do we use double rabbeted jambs on our Pivot doors?
Double rabbeted jambs address the downside to Pivot doors: lack of insulation.

They allow the gap between the slab and jamb to be much smaller on the side, restricting airflow and improving insulation
How are Pivot doors special?
Pivot doors are special because they can be larger than traditional doors. The hinge is offset from the frame by a couple of inches, allowing the door to handle more weight. Pivot hinges are placed on the top and the bottom of the frame and the door revolves around it. So not only can the door be bigger, but it doesn’t feel as heavy because part of the door is on the other side of the hinge. Pivot doors are great for those who would like a larger front door, and they fit perfectly for houses with a contemporary, modern, or transitional architectural style.
