What sets our pivot doors apart in Wandsworth.
Oversized Single Leaf
Up to 1.4m wide and 2.8m tall — three times the surface area of a standard entrance door. The single most impactful architectural gesture on any modern elevation.
Concealed Floor-Spring Pivot
Dorma or GEZE hydraulic floor-spring mechanism carries a 250 kg leaf and self-closes at a controlled speed. No hinges to sag, no top-track, no visible mechanism.
Vertical-Grain Oak or Slim-Frame Aluminium
European white-oak veneer with vertical grain and a satin lacquer, or matte-black thermally-broken aluminium with slim frame. Choose the material to match the rest of the elevation.
Statement-Length Pull Handle
Full-height brushed brass, bronze, black or stainless pull — 1.8m tall on the average pivot door, the ironmongery statement in its own right.
PAS 24 Multi-Point Locking
Concealed multi-point hook locking despite the pivot geometry — no compromise on security for the sake of the aesthetic.
LED-Lit Reveal Option
Integrated warm-white LED strip in the door reveal above and below — the pivot moves through a lit portal at dusk. A single detail that transforms the elevation.

Common questions from Wandsworth homeowners.
- Do you install pivot doors in Wandsworth?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs pivot doors across Wandsworth (SW18) and the wider London area every week. Every project is surveyed, manufactured and installed by our own teams.
- How long does pivot doors installation take in Wandsworth?
- Most Wandsworth projects run to a two-to-eight week lead time from signed quote to install, depending on manufacture. Once on site, a typical pivot doors install completes in one to five working days with full dust-sheet protection and clean-down.
- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Wandsworth?
- Working across London means understanding period detail, party-wall etiquette and permit parking as well as we understand glass. We schedule dust sheets, protection and clean-down like a good building firm should. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Wandsworth projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers pivot doors in Wandsworth?
- Every pivot doors installation in Wandsworth is covered by our insurance-backed 10-year guarantee — parts, labour and finish. Aftercare is direct with the installing team, not a call centre.
- Can I see recent pivot doors work near Wandsworth?
- Yes — we can share recent pivot doors case studies from across London, including projects in Southfields, Earlsfield and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- How does a pivot door differ from a regular hinged door?
- A hinged door hangs from two or three hinges on one edge. A pivot rotates on a single central axis top and bottom — the door swings past the frame equally on both sides. It allows a much wider, heavier leaf than hinges can carry, and it looks unmistakably architectural.
- Is a pivot door secure?
- Yes — the multi-point hook locking is concealed within the frame and behaves the same as any PAS 24 door. The pivot is structural (250 kg carrying capacity) and cannot be levered off.
- Does it self-close?
- Yes — the Dorma or GEZE hydraulic floor-spring has adjustable closing speed and back-check. Open the door and let go and it eases back to closed on a controlled hydraulic damper. No slam.
