Do you have busy doorways in your workplace? Pivot hinges could be your solution.
In a variety of styles, finishes, and sizes, pivot hinges will complete your interior door design, adding functionality and style. There are so many different types of hinges available, so what is a pivot hinge, what makes them different, and where can they be used?
What is a pivot hinge?
Pivot hinges allow a door to pivot from a single spot at the top and the bottom of the door. Most other hinge styles are attached at the edge of the door to the frame; however, pivot hinges differ in that they attach to the top of the door to the top of the frame and the bottom of the door to the floor.
In doing so, the door can swing in either direction – perfect for busy entryways or heavy doors. Pivot hinges support the weight of the door better than other hinges, as the hinges’ arms prevent any stress on the door frame.
Where can a pivot hinge be used?
Pivot hinges are best suited for high-traffic doorways, where you want doors to be opened just with a push and have it swing closed behind you. These hinges are often used in businesses like restaurants and cafes, but you could also use them in your home or office.
