At Emezzi's website, we always strive to provide as much relevant information as possible. We believe that this is essential when selecting the ideal steel door. We often receive questions about our pivot doors, hinge doors, sliding doors, and steel walls and windows. On this page, you will find the frequently asked questions about steel pivot doors. .



Does a Pivot Door Require a Frame?

Not for a pivot door! What makes a pivot door unique is that the hinges are attached to both the top and bottom of the door, allowing them to be directly mounted into the floor and ceiling. This eliminates the need for frames and ensures that no additional wall mounting work is required.


Can a Steel Door Be Installed with Underfloor Heating?

Absolutely. We only need to drill 1 cm from the top of the living floor. This means it is possible in almost all situations since underfloor heating is typically deeper. If you have any considerations or specific instructions for installing underfloor heating, please ask us for a detailed drawing.

What Are the Advantages of Steel Pivot Doors?


  • They are frameless, providing a space-saving and modern look.
  • The pivot hinge swings in both directions, increasing ease of use.
  • The door is equipped with a 'soft close' mechanism, allowing it to close gradually.
  • There is a standard 'hold' at 90 degrees, keeping the door open in that position.
  • A pivot door can rotate up to 300 degrees.

For a complete overview of the advantages, you can always contact us.


What Is the Weight of a Steel Pivot Door?

The pivot doors we produce typically weigh between 40 and 60 kilograms. There are some exceptions, but this is a good general guideline. This means they are relatively lightweight in use, increasing ease of use. This is due to our use of aluminum.


Does a Steel Pivot Door Have Soundproofing Properties?

A steel pivot door does not have a frame to fit into, making it more challenging to seal completely. There must always be a small gap of 5 mm between the door and the frame for unobstructed movement. As a result, a pivot door offers slightly less sound insulation than other types of steel doors. However, it does have some sound-dampening properties. Experience it for yourself in our showroom!


What Are the Costs of a Steel Pivot Door?

The price of a steel pivot door depends on various factors, such as the presence of side panels, the distribution of steel frames, and the choice between symmetry and asymmetry. To get a specific price for your preferences, you can use our steel door configurator.


How Does the Purchase Process of a Steel Pivot Door at Emezzi Work?

Our process consists of six clear steps. It starts with a non-binding quote that you can request through our configurator. Then, we discuss your preferences and ensure accurate measurements. After confirming the measurements, you will receive a detailed order confirmation and a sample of your chosen door from us. Next, we manufacture the custom steel door in our workshop. Finally, we provide expert installation on a date suitable for you.
