They want to make an impression. They want a door that is a piece of them. That level dedication and passion can only happen at the front door.
I like to think that we don’t make doors; rather, we create an experience. The front door is an experience. What I seek is to frame this experience in the most beautiful, enduring, and functional way possible.
To create something unique, sometimes you need to go against the grain. To explore the unexplored.
If something can’t be done passionately, what’s the point of even doing it?
Custom Pulls
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Space[ak-tiv] [speys]
- The passage area of a pivot door. The passage area is functional and wider than the inactive space.
Inactive Space[in-ak-tiv] [speys]
- 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?
- You can have a really big front door, two to three times bigger than a regular door.
- You can have an entrance door that creates a show as it operates.
- Your front door can transcend all other doors and become an unforgettable experience.
