Wood Doors

Our wood pivot doors are warm and inviting, yet maintain an ultra modern edge. Hardwood planks are worked and finished to perfection. The rich colors and flowing grain of the wood add an additional dimension to the door. Lighter woods such as White Oak maintain a cooler toned appearance, while Walnut Wood introduces rich color.

Our wood doors are available in two distinct methods of construction: as metal pivot doors with wood panels or as wood doors with a supporting metal frame. Each method offers a unique combination of wood, metal, and glass. Our wood panels are never laminated and are made exclusively from quality hardwood.

Metal Doors

Metal pivoting doors are the icon of modern home design. Pivot or hinged, our modern metal doors are built from the bottom-up. Each step of our production process is done in-house and held to the highest quality standards. Keep it simple with a monochromatic look or introduce a dimensional appearance with one of our metal skins.

Our unique door skins bring out metal’s natural beauty. Modern doesn’t have to be cold and synthetic. Modern can be organic and sophisticated. Your home entry will be like no other with our exclusive organic metal finishes and hand-sculpted pivoting door hardware.

Above all else, Modern Steel Doors seeks to define the norm. Our signature collection of original designs include the Wave Door, the Edge Door, and many others. When clients are looking for something truly extraordinary, they will find it here.

What is a pivot door? How do they work?

Pivot Door[piv-uh t]  [dawr]

  1. A door that rotates about an axis that is nonadjacent to its doorjamb. The nonadjacent axis placement creates a space on either side of a pivoting door and its doorjamb. The active side of a pivot door moves in an opposing direction to the inactive side as the pivot door is operated. The dual spaces and opposing movements of a pivot door create a unique experience in contrast to the single space and single directional movement of a conventional door.
  2. A door that transfers its weight directly downward. Pivot doors are suspended via a hinge placed under the door and a hinge placed on top of the door. The hinge under the door transfers the door’s weight directly downward. The hinge on top of the door maintains the door’s alignment by subduing the shear force. Both hinges must be capable of mitigating the respective forces for ease of use. A pivot door is also referred to as a swivel door because the door “swivels” upon this offset pivoting point.
    • Conventionally hinged doors indirectly transfer their weight through the doorjamb. The indirect transfer is accomplished through pushing and pulling on the doorjamb. The stress of pushing and pulling causes misalignment and reduces the size and weight capacity of conventionally hinged doors.

Active & Inactive Spaces Explained with Pivot Door Diagram

Active Space[ak-tiv]  [speys]

  1. The passage area of a pivot door. The passage area is functional and wider than the inactive space.

Inactive Space[in-ak-tiv]  [speys]

  1. The non-passage area of a pivot door. The non-passage area is aesthetic and narrower than the active space.

What does all of this mean to me?

  1. You can have a really big front door, two to three times bigger than a regular door.
  2. You can have an entrance door that creates a show as it operates.
  3. Your front door can transcend all other doors and become an unforgettable experience.

How do our clients benefit from our experience?

  1. Modern Steel Doors manufactures its own pivot door hinges in order to create a turnkey pivot door that is ready to use. This means no assembly, no concrete cutting, and no misalignment. This exclusive feature is unavailable anywhere else and makes 10 ft entry doors an easy task.
  2. Modern Steel Doors manufactures and integrates its own proprietary components. This means that your pivot door threshold is built to your exact specifications. It matches identically in finish and it’s built into your pivot door jamb. This means that your weatherstripping has been designed specifically to seal, operate, and improve your pivoting door experience. This exclusive feature is unavailable anywhere else—it was built from the ground up by MSD.
  3. Modern Steel Doors creates hardware that has been designed and sculpted by the hands of an artist. We discovered that a pivot door is really a large canvas just asking for a focal point. Something special. Something rare. Something that will give your modern pivot door a unique identity. By using our hand sculpted hardware on our exclusive pivoting doors, you will create an entrance that will eclipse regular doors.
