Good evening,
I am looking for advise and information about how I can install a pivot aluminium entry door. The house is in lockup stage and the entry door needs to be installed. Looking for some guidance and installer.
Thanks
Hello @Mostakin
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about installing your pivot door.
Pivot doors can create a stunning entrance, but they do require very precise installation to ensure they operate smoothly and seal correctly. Unlike a traditional hinged door, the pivot hardware must be perfectly aligned at the top and bottom, and the opening needs to be square, level and structurally sound. Even small installation errors can lead to ongoing issues with the way the door swings, closes and locks, and these can be extremely difficult and costly to correct once the door has been fitted.
With your home currently at lock-up stage, this is an ideal time to have the door professionally installed. An experienced installer or carpenter will have the equipment and expertise to accurately position the pivot hardware, check all clearances and make any necessary adjustments before the installation is completed. Given the weight and value of most aluminium pivot entry doors, professional installation is a worthwhile investment that can help ensure the door performs exactly as intended. I suggest posting the job on either Airtasker or Hipages. My best advice is to make sure they have references of previous jobs so that you can see what kind of work they do.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Eric
