Shower Doors
Pivot Shower Doors
A door that rotates on top and bottom pivots rather than a full-length hinge.
A pivot shower door turns on hardware set in from the edge, so part of the glass can swing each way. Specifications use pivots when the drawings call for that hardware, including some neo-angle and corner enclosures.
The offset of the pivot changes the clear opening. Send the detail if the documents show a specific pivot location. Do not assume a center pivot.
Where it is specified
- Neo-angle and corner baths that specify a pivot
- Showers where the hardware schedule lists pivots
- Openings that are not a side-hinged swing
Style names
Doors that fit this operation.
A style is listed here when its name or its collection includes this operation. Styles whose names omit the operation are included so they are not dropped, and the quote still has to say how the door moves.
| Style | Source group | Operation | Glass published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marla | Eastern, Georgia fulfillment | Style name does not state the operation. The collection offers bypass, single sliding, pivot, and hinged doors. | 8 mm or 10 mm, clear or frosted |
| Strata | Eastern, Georgia fulfillment | Style name does not state the operation. Same collection options as Marla. | 8 mm or 10 mm, clear or frosted |
| Ibiza | Eastern, Georgia fulfillment | Style name does not state the operation. Same collection options as Marla. | 8 mm or 10 mm, clear or frosted |
Glass and hardware that can be named
- Domestic collections: 8 mm or 10 mm tempered glass. Eastern listings add clear or frosted.
- Hardware finishes named: chrome, brushed silver or nickel, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze.
- Hardware material named: corrosion-resistant stainless or aluminum.
- Wall profiles for out-of-plumb adjustment are a stated feature of the domestic doors.
- GlassShield is the name of an optional film on the eastern collection, described as bonded to tempered glass so pieces stay together if the glass breaks.
- An import program is described as the same doors with a 14-to-16-week lead time. Confirm that lead time on the quote. It is not a promise on this site.
- The domestic copy says the glass is ANSI-certified tempered glass. The test report is not published here.
Confirm before pricing
- Malibu, Marla, Strata, and Ibiza do not state a single operation in the style name. Send bypass, single sliding, hinged, or pivot with the style.
- Import titles that differ only by the words home, hotel, or modern are not listed as separate products, because no separate size or hardware schedule was published.
- HX421-CH is the only model number printed on the import list that was reviewed.
- Opening width, height, and handing were not published as a catalog matrix. They still come from the drawings.

Questions
Before you price this item.
What is a pivot shower door?
Glass that rotates on pivots at the head and sill, or threshold, instead of a continuous side hinge.
Can a pivot be used on a neo-angle?
Yes, when the layout on the drawings is a neo-angle and the door type is a pivot. Send both.
