Huge Front Door
A huge front door can evoke a sense of grandeur, elegance, and significance in residential architecture. It provides not only a functional entry point but also an important aesthetic element that set the tone for the entire structure.
Aluminium front doors are possible in huge sizes, with a single door available up to 1,250mm wide and up to 2,700mm high. Pivot entrance doors can be crafted even larger than that, with a single door available in sizes up to 2,000mm wide and up to 3,000mm high. For openings larger than these sizes, a glazed side panel or top light can be added to increase the overall width and height of the entrance door.

Huge Front Door for your Home
Front doors are often the first impression of a home. When these doors are oversized, they amplify that impression. An extra wide front door can create a sense of drama and anticipation, inviting visitors to explore what lies beyond. In residential design, they can signify the homeowner’s personality and style, while in commercial architecture, they may represent the brand’s image or the building’s purpose.
Oversized Front Door
Historically, oversized doors have been a hallmark of significant buildings, from cathedrals and palaces to public institutions. In many cultures, massive doors were designed to convey strength and security. For example, the grand entrances of ancient Roman basilicas often featured towering doors that emphasised the importance of the sacred space within. Similarly, in medieval castles, large wooden doors served as formidable barriers against invaders while also highlighting the wealth and power of the occupants.
Aluminium Pivot Doors can be made in a wide range of designs, colours and sizes, to create a truly impressive entrance to a home. Visit our gallery for inspiration.
Pivot Entrance Doors
The size of a front door can dramatically influence the perception of a building’s scale. A massive door can overshadow the surrounding architecture, creating a striking visual contrast. This scale is an Architects dream when designing a state-of-the art build and can evoke feelings of awe and respect, reinforcing the building’s significance.
Pivot entrance doors can be crafted from various materials, each adding to the door’s character and functionality. A glass pivot front door, like this one below, creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
This huge front door has been made-to-measure to the homeowner’s preferred design and includes a full height recessed handle complete with an LED light. The inherent strength of pivot door frames combined with a clever pivot mechanism means that a Spitfire pivot door can carry heavy external finishes like laminated glass with ease.

Style and Architecture of Huge Front Doors
The style of a huge front door should complement the overall architecture of the building. Traditional homes might feature ornate, carved wooden doors, while modern homes could opt for minimalist aluminium door designs with clean lines. Craftsman-style homes often display doors with intricate panelling and natural wood finishes.
Spitfire pivot doors are all made-to-measure and can include a fabulous wood effect finish with CNC grooves within the aluminium or glass, to create a panelling effect. Arched aluminium door frames are a possibility, with every door being made to bespoke sizes for individual projects.
The Emotional Impact of an Oversized Front Door
Oversized front doors can evoke a range of emotions. The act of entering through a large door can be thrilling, creating a moment of pause before stepping into a new environment. This experience can be amplified by the door’s design; for instance, a sleek glass pivot front door may invoke feelings of modernity and openness.
There are over 30 customisable pivot doors to choose from, each available as a huge door in sizes up to 2,000mm wide and up to 3,000mm high. Some pivot door designs can be made up to 4,000mm wide, depending on their specification.
