The Challenge

A builder renovating a Glen Waverley home wanted to transform the front entry. The existing double doors were undersized for the house — two narrow leaves that chopped the opening up and made the entry feel cramped. The vision was a single large pivot door with sidelights, a proper architectural entry for a home that had been extensively renovated everywhere else.

Replacing two narrow doors with one wider pivot door isn’t a straight swap. The structural opening changes. The jamb needs reworking. And fitting reed glass sidelights on both sides of the new door means getting the framing, glazing, and door geometry all to line up correctly in a single visit.

The Solution

The pivot door is Vic Ash batten — vertical batten profile across the face, approximately 1300mm wide by 2400mm tall. Vic Ash is a Victorian hardwood with tight grain and good stability. The batten profile breaks the face into shadow lines that read well at the scale of a 2400mm door.

Reed glass sidelights run both sides of the door. The reeded texture lets light through while obscuring the view into the entry — privacy without a solid panel. They extend the apparent width of the entry and frame the pivot door without competing with it.

The pivot hardware is FritsJurgens System One. The pull handle is 300mm, matte black — long enough to balance the door height visually and position the grip where it’s comfortable to use. Locking is Lockwood Paradigm, a quality mortice lock that suits both residential and high-end renovation applications. Double brush seals run top and bottom, compressing against the frame on close to seal draughts. Our pivot door installations for builder projects are priced to include everything — supply, fabrication, glazing, hardware, and a complete single-day install.

The Result

A smaller double-door entry turned into a proper 1300mm pivot with flanking sidelights. The transformation changed the front of the house. Where two narrow doors used to divide the facade, there’s now a single Vic Ash batten pivot that fills the opening the way it should. Done in one day, priced between $8,000–$9,500 + GST including all hardware, glazing, and installation.
