What controls a motorized pivot door?

A motorized pivot can be triggered by a wall touchpad, a remote, or an integration with a smart-home system that opens it on a scene or schedule. Crateworks specifies the control method with you so it matches how the rest of the space is run.

What happens to a motorized pivot in a power cut?

A motorized pivot is built to be operable by hand if power is lost, so the door is never trapped shut or open. The exact manual-release behavior depends on the motor specified, which we confirm before building.

A different category than a hollow-core slab

Most interior doors sold in the US are hollow-core: a thin MDF or veneer face over honeycomb cardboard, hung on stamped hinges. They warp in humidity, dent on impact, chip at the edges, and look like the cheapest finished element in the room. They exist to fill an opening, not to be part of the design.

A motorized pivot doors from Crateworks is a slim aluminum frame with glass or mirror infill, built to your opening, color-matched to the room, on hardware sized to carry the panel weight. Aluminum does not warp or rust, the finish does not need repainting, and the panel reads as architectural detail across the room rather than a closet front to hide.
