Millennium Plus Pivot
A door that turns on its own axis.
Application Example
Selecting this family for a Canadian project
For aluminum, compare the thermal break, glass, sightlines and the limits of the selected frame and opening configuration. Provider catalogue figures describe particular configurations. Confirm the whole-unit result, rating method and available documents for your sizes with your local designer and building official.
U-factor figures use imperial Btu/(h ft2 F) unless another unit is stated; metric values use W/(m2 K). Uf describes the frame, Ug the glass, and Uw the whole window. SHGC and ER are dimensionless. Converting units does not establish certification or Canadian code acceptance.
Canadian orders use DAP to the agreed named place, with the Canadian buyer as importer of record. Import charges, unloading and local installation need their own confirmed scope. Site access and remote delivery require individual review.
Overview
What makes the Millennium Plus Pivot
stand out.
Millennium Plus Pivot is an entrance door built around a pivot axis offset 400 mm from the jamb rather than a conventional hinge line. The leaf swings from a point inside its own width, which is what allows a door 7 ft wide and 10 ft tall to open with one hand - and what gives the closed door its flush, monolithic look, since there are no hinges on the face. The 80 mm frame runs a 24/26 mm thermal break and takes panels or glazing to 64 mm, for whole-door values from Ud 0.77 W/m2K. Panelled and glazed versions share the same profile, so the entrance can read as solid, as glass, or as both.

Key Highlights
- Pivot axis offset 400 mm - oversized leaves open with one hand
- No hinges on the face: the closed door reads as a single plane
- Leaves to 6 ft 11 in wide and 9 ft 10 in tall
- Infill to 64 mm - insulated panels or triple-glazed lites
- Ud from 0.77 W/m2K on an 80 mm frame
- Full RAL K7 palette, dual-color and pre-anodized finishes
Ideal For
Statement entrances on modern homes, oversized front doors that would be unworkable on hinges, and facades where the entrance should sit flush with the cladding rather than announce itself as a door.
Consider an Alternative When
If the entry is a standard size and the pivot action is not the point, a conventional side-hung aluminum door costs less and takes the same finishes. The Aliplast Imperial is the deeper catalog for panel designs.

From this system to your opening schedule
Review the opening type, dimensions, glazing, finish and installation interface together. Provider references describe a system family; the documents for your project need to match the proposed assembly and local requirements.
