# Pivot Door Company

> Pivot Door Company engineers high-performance, steel-core pivot doors that blend architectural artistry with industrial precision. We provide custom entry systems defined by scale, durability, and sculptural impact.

## Core Engineering
* **Steel-Core Construction**: Every unit features an internal welded steel grid to prevent warping, sagging, and bowing. This allows for oversized architectural entries that remain structurally true.
* **Thermal Performance**: Standard units include 1" insulated tempered glass and a 5R insulating foam interior. Total R-values of 7 are achievable depending on configuration.
* **Materials**: Premium, American-sourced hardwoods including White Oak (Plain Sawn or Rift Cut), Walnut, Mahogany (Sapele), Alder, and Cedar.
* **Hand-Finished Precision**: Every door is handcrafted in Colorado Springs, CO, and ships natural/unstained to allow for site-specific finishing.

## Technical Specifications
* **Dimensions**: Custom-built to architectural requirements. No standard size limitations; heights exceeding 10' are common.
* **Thickness**: Standard at 2 1/4”. Doors over 6' x 10' or units with glass larger than 5' x 5' require 2 1/2” or 3 1/4” thickness with 1 1/4” glass.
* **Weight**: Slabs typically range from 250–350 lbs. Precision-balanced hardware ensures low-breakout force and effortless operation.
* **Hardware**: Compatible with smart locks, mag locks, and mortise systems. The steel core removes the requirement for multi-point locking systems.

## Installation & Logistics
* **Pre-Hung System**: Units are factory-calibrated and "knocked down" for shipment. This ensures straightforward on-site reassembly by standard finish carpentry teams.
* **Thresholds**:
    - **Type 1**: For flush interior/exterior transitions.
    - **Type 2**: Features a 90-degree interior angle for wood floor transitions.
* **Delivery**: Standard curbside freight with lift gate. Pickup from local freight terminals is recommended for builders to eliminate delivery window downtime.

## Compliance & Warranty
* **Impact Resistance**: Built to client-provided engineering specs for "One Time Product Approval" in high-wind and hurricane zones.
* **Maintenance**: To preserve the two-year limited warranty, units must be sealed on all six sides within 72 hours of delivery.
* **Longevity**: Engineered for a 60+ year lifespan with routine finish maintenance.
