A door that swings on top and bottom pivot hinges and can open in both directions for corner and wide openings.
A pivot door swings on a vertical axis set slightly in from the glass edge, using hardware at the top and the bottom instead of hinges on the side. That allows many pivot doors to open both inward and outward, which makes them useful in corner showers, narrow bathrooms and wide openings where a standard hinged door will not clear a vanity or toilet. They are available with a frame or fully frameless.
We study how you use the room and the position of the fixtures, then decide where the pivot points belong and how far the door should open. Pivot hardware needs a stable top and bottom anchor, so we check the curb, the ceiling or header and the wall behind the glass. We hang the door, adjust the swing and set the seals so the door stops cleanly and closes tightly.
The pivot points carry the weight of the door. We confirm solid support at the curb and above, and we choose hardware that matches the glass.
Many pivot doors can open in and out. We discuss which direction suits your room and whether you want a stop in one direction.
Pivot doors suit corner enclosures and wider openings. We explain the offset, because the glass sits slightly in from the edge.
Pivot doors have a small gap around the pivot. We choose seals and a sweep that control water without binding.
Pivot hardware allows a swing in and out in many designs.
Pivot doors suit corner showers and odd layouts.
A pivot door can span a wider opening than many hinged doors.

A pivot door swings on a point set in from the edge and can often open both ways. A hinged door swings from the side only.
It has a small gap at the pivot, so seals and a sweep matter. A fixed panel beside the door helps with splash.
