Hinged door vs Pivot door : Which solution is best for your project?

In the world of interior design, every detail matters when it comes to optimising space and meeting both aesthetic and functional expectations. Hinged and pivot wardrobe doors are two popular options that suit different needs. But how do you choose the ideal solution for your project ?

The Hinged Door : a practical & timeless choice

A hinged door is mounted on traditional hinges, allowing it to open fully outwards. This classic solution offers ease of use and reliable technical performance.

At SEED, we have reimagined this system with a sleek design and a unique Cadralu profile to address modern interior design requirements:

  • Multiple infill options : Compatible with various materials such as glass, polycarbonate, or wood (4 mm thickness).
  • Premium design : High-end finishes for seamless integration into modern interiors.
  • Customisation : Freedom to choose handles, with the option to include a push-to-open system for a minimalist look.
  • Full accessibility : Provides complete visibility of the storage area, ideal for glazed wardrobe doors up to 2500 mm high.

In what type of project ?

The hinged door is ideal for wardrobes where full access is required. It is perfectly suited to both residential and professional spaces that seek a balance between simplicity and elegance.

The Pivot Door: A space-saving & design-focused solution

Unlike hinged or sliding doors, a pivot door operates on a central or offset pivot axis, allowing for smooth and silent opening. This solution offers a concealed mechanism and clean lines, making it ideal for seamless integration into modern spaces.

At SEED, we have designed a sleek and practical pivot door system with:

  • Maximum manufacturability : A pivot plate fixed directly onto the panel, eliminating the need for routing or milling.
  • Optimised opening : Perfect for enhancing ergonomics in narrow spaces with either partial or full opening.
  • Minimalist aesthetics : A discreet bottom and top pivot can be used without top or bottom tracks, ideal for tight spaces.
  • Versatile infill options : Compatible with decorative panels or glass, allowing adaptation to every design project.
  • Advanced customisation : A wide choice of finishes to harmonise the pivot door with any interior style.
  • Modular configurations : Profiles are suitable for single or multiple leaf installations, offering tailored solutions for all types of projects.

In what type of project?

The pivot door is ideal for furnishing narrow spaces or for modern layouts where aesthetics and functionality come together. It is well-suited to both residential and professional environments, combining a minimalist design with straightforward installation.
