For opportunity

Your exit strategy
To a single axis
My movement is confined
Your privacy is that
For which I've been designed
What am I?

Nice one but really easy.
Agreed... it was a little too easy.
It was pretty easy but a nice attempt. My only other comment is that a door is not always on hinges, and does not always swing. There are doors that slide open, such as a patio door or a pocket door, and rotating doors that do not hinge.
Overall, I liked the teaser.
