Where does the glass door top pivot go on a glass door?
The glass door top pivot fixes into the head, frame or ceiling above the door and locates into the top patch fitting, so the top of the glass door turns on it. It is used on frameless glass shopfronts, office entrances, showrooms and internal glass screens.
It works alongside our glass door top patch fitting, glass door floor pivot and glass door bottom patch fitting, so you can build or repair the whole door from one supplier.

How to choose the right glass door top pivot
- Glass thickness: our patch fittings suit 10–12mm toughened safety glass.
- Glass cut-outs: notches and holes must be cut before the glass is toughened, so check your glass matches the fitting.
- Left or right hand: for handed fittings, stand outside the door and check which side the pivot or lock is on.
- Finish: match the satin or polished finish of your other fittings for a neat look.
- Door weight: check the weight of your door against the rating of the fitting and the floor spring or pivot.
Not sure? Send a photo of your door and old fitting and we will confirm the right glass door top pivot before you order.
Fitting tips
Always fit glass door hardware with the gaskets supplied between the metal and the glass, and never over-tighten the fixings, as point loads can crack toughened glass. Check the door is level and swings freely before you finish. Frameless glass doors are heavy, so fitting should be done by a competent glazier or shopfitter. For guidance on glass safety, see the Glass and Glazing Federation.
Looking after your glass door fittings
Wipe stainless fittings with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and avoid abrasive pads or bleach-based cleaners. Every few months, check the fixings are tight and the door still closes smoothly. Replacing a worn glass door top pivot early protects the glass and the rest of the door.

Frequently asked questions
What does a glass door top pivot do?
It is the fixed pin at the top of a frameless glass door. The top patch fitting sits over it, so the door pivots smoothly between the top pivot and the floor spring or floor pivot below.
What else do I need?
Pair it with a top patch fitting and a floor spring, a non-dig floor spring or a floor pivot at the bottom.
Will it fit my existing door?
It suits standard top patch fittings. If you are unsure, send us a photo of your existing pivot on 0121 714 0770 and we will check it matches.
