| | English translation:pivot door | Explanation:
The difference here is that a door with the hinges at the corner (the normal type of door) is a swing door while in th is case the door is set on a sort of shaft in the center so that it pivots or revolves around this point. In effect, it sort of opens at the center thus taking up half the space to open.
