CENTER HUNG PIVOTS VERSUS HINGES
Why Pivots Are Better Than Hinges:
When a door is hung on a pivot, the entire weight of the door is carried by the bottom pivot resting on the floor. Since the screws in the top pivot are perpendicular to the pivot and at right angles to the opening leverage, the door is hung in sheer rather than in tension and is less likely to pull away from the jamb.
