More than a hinge
The Best Pivot Door Contest honours the most exceptional pivot door projects in the world. From timeless designs to bold new concepts, the contest celebrates the craftsmanship and creative mastery of door makers, architects, and designers who work with FritsJurgens systems.
Now in its sixth edition, the contest continues to grow. More doors. More impact. More innovation. And for the first time ever, the public will have a say by casting their votes online.
A pivot door is never just a door. It defines space. It elevates architecture. It invites curiosity. That’s why we build more than hinges. We engineer the freedom to realise your boldest architectural visions.
So show us your masterpiece. Inspire the world. And claim your place among the best pivot doors of 2026.
