Commercial Doors

Choose the strongest, most secure commercial doors The material make-up of a commercial door will impact the level of security it can provide as well as the maintenance and upkeep it will require. Commercial steel doors offer the most security, but many business owners find wood doors and commercial glass doors more aesthetically pleasing.

I recommend:  The Next Door Company offers a variety of commercial steel doors. Fiberglass commercial entry doors, such as those offered by Therma-Tru, are typically guaranteed against cracking, splitting or denting. Consider companies like Masonite, Pella Corporation and Dawson Doors for both fiberglass and steel framed doors. Lee & Cates Glass offers hurricane strength glass. Business.com offers a list of vendors specializing in fiberglass doors, metal doors and glass doors.

Choose roll-up commercial doors for added security Roll-up commercial doors are appropriate in demanding environments requiring maximum durability and security, such as loading docks or retail environments. Because of minimal backroom, headroom and sideroom requirements, roll-up commercial doors are able to fit in tight spaces.
