Swinging & French Doors
Custom swinging glass doors, French door pairs & pivot systems.
Designed and installed across New York & New Jersey.
The Swinging System
A swinging glass door is the most classical expression of our craft. From a single panel to a dramatic eight-door commission, every installation is hand-measured, custom-fabricated, and fitted by our own team — not subcontractors.
Swinging doors require only a single pivot point or a pair of hinges — leaving your floor completely uninterrupted. No track to catch dust, no threshold to trip over, no visible hardware on the ground.
Low iron (ultra-clear), frosted, reeded, bronze tinted, one-way mirror, standard clear — all fully tempered and code-compliant. Divided lite grids in any configuration: horizontal rails, vertical mullions, or both.
We custom-fabricate from 80" standard heights to full 10' or 12' ceiling heights. Pivot hardware handles the additional weight — no sag, no warp, no compromise in operation over time.
Installed Projects
Structural requirement: For best long-term performance, all swinging systems require a structural anchor above the opening — wooden soffit, 2×4 stud, or beam — to properly secure the top channel and pivot hardware.
— Featured Commission
Tall custom French doors with a center sidelight panel for a synagogue entrance. Black matte powder-coated aluminum, low iron glass. A commission where every millimeter of the frame profile was chosen deliberately.

— Hardware
A precision floor pivot bears the full load of the door leaf, while a top pivot or header pivot provides lateral stability. Rated for glass panels up to 250 lbs. Stainless steel, concealed beneath the frame.
— Hardware
A U-channel captures the glass edge on all four sides, creating a clean framed boundary. Visible face varies by frame style. Available in Black Matte or Off White powder coat. Accepts standard or oversized glass.
— Hardware
Matched to your frame finish: 18″ or 24″ pull bars for contemporary installations, lever sets for ADA-compliant applications, and custom bar lengths for commercial-scale doors.
— Hardware
Recessed magnetic catch at the floor or strike plate keeps the door quietly shut without a latch. Perimeter brush or compression seals available for sound attenuation and draft control.
3D Configurator
Our interactive Studio lets you build your exact configuration, swap glass types, change frame finishes, add divided lites, view hardware details — and visualize it all in 3D before we fabricate a single piece.

How It Works
We visit your space — not a showroom. Our team takes precise measurements, assesses the rough opening, and walks you through every configuration option in person.
Choose your glass type, frame finish, grid pattern, hardware profile, and swing direction. We bring samples and technical drawings — no guessing from a catalog.
Every component is fabricated to your exact dimensions — not adapted from stock. Aluminum frames, tempered glass panels, and hardware are assembled and quality-checked in our facility.
Our own installers — not subcontractors — set every panel, align every hinge, and test every pivot before they leave. The job is done when it's perfect, not when the clock runs out.
