Pivot Hinge

A hinge that rotates the door on a single pivot point at the top and bottom rather than swinging from the side edge. Pivot hinges are used on tall, heavy cabinet doors, appliance garage doors, and specialty cabinet panels where traditional side-mounted hinges cannot support the weight or where a different opening motion is desired. They allow doors to swing in or out and are available in concealed and surface-mount versions.
