Pivot Hardware Pricing

What Drives Pivot Door Pricing
1. Panel size: Every inch of width and height adds cost. Oversized panels (60"+ wide) carry a significant premium due to material volume and structural requirements.
2. Glass area: Glass is expensive per square foot. A full-lite pivot door (all glass) costs 40–80% more than a solid panel of the same size.
3. Finish: Factory-applied finishes (powder coat, anodize, stain + lacquer) add 20–35% to base price but eliminate field finishing costs.
4. Lead time: Standard sizes (36"–48") may be in stock. Custom sizes (60"+) require 6–10 weeks manufacturing lead time.

| WholesaleDoorHub (wholesale) | $1,800–$2,400 | $420–$580 | $2,220–$2,980 |
Contractor savings: 40–50% vs. retail.
