Pivot Hinges & Accessories

Leave a lasting impression with commercial glass door pivot hinges and accessories from C.R. Laurence. Create beautiful exterior pivot doors and entryways with pivot door hardware that help provide function and form, exclusively from CRL. The types of pivot hinges that a door might require depends on the needs of your commercial building project. CRL’s selection includes the most popular commercial styles, including pivots for glass, aluminum, wood, and metal doors.

A walking beam pivot allows for door clearance adjustment, whereas an offset pivot lets the door swing wider. Center hung bottom pivots let doors swing in either direction and intermediate pivots are ideal for tall doors that require supplementary support. Plus, coordination is key, so we suggest pairing a walking beam pivot with a matching floor closer like the Rixon pivots with a Rixon door closer.

Whatever the preference is for a project, whether it is a center pivot, offset pivot hinge, or intermediate pivot hinge, a CRL glass door pivot hinge is the right choice. Explore additional door hardware options to complete the perfect glass entryway setup. From overhead closers to headers, door handles, and other door hardware accessories, CRL offers solutions to enhance functionality and aesthetics.

Pivot Hinges & Accessories FAQ

What is a pivot hinge for, and when would you use one?
What are the main types of pivot hinges?
What is the difference between a pivot hinge and an offset pivot hinge?
An offset pivot hinge is a specific type of pivot hinge. These particular pivot hinges have a pivot point positioned away from the door’s center. This offset placement allows the door to swing wider and provides additional clearance, making it ideal for storefronts, glass entryways, and doors with thicker framing.

Offset hinges for glass doors are commonly used in storefronts and larger door systems like those found at restaurants and retail entrances. Offset pivot hinges are designed for single-direction swings and are widely chosen for their enhanced clearance and support for heavier doors.
