Hi there, I'm building a home and trying to see if I can save costs / get something more optimal as well.
Currently have a 2.7m tall x 1.2m pivot entry door (pretty expensive).
I like the height (2.7m) but I feel like I may not mind making it narrower (e.g. 1m, 1.1m). I'm wondering if a hinged door would be suitable for that?
Regardless - I'm wondering if there's anyone who has feedback who has experienced both?
One issue with pivot is I don't really like how when it pivots, it creates another 'opening' on the smaller side of the pivot point. Worried things will get squished and pets might run out. I can't really tell how big this is for a 1.2m door though?
Also I read that insulation is not as good for pivot. There is a porch outside so direct rain is not the main issue - moreso general temperature & noise leakage.
Does it matter at all if I want to get some sort of electronic door lock as well?
Does anyone have any opinions?
