Your Direct Source for Commercial Doors, Fire Rated Doors and Architectural Glass Products

Commercial Doors – Commercial doors are designed to receive frequent use and to protect the life-safety of building occupants while securing the physical property. Many exterior commercial doors are made from metals like cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Commercial doors are often hung in typical single or double door configurations but are also hung in double egress openings and double-acting assemblies. Although metal doors can be used inside a building, solid core wood doors tend to be the majority of interior door material for most commercial buildings.

Fire-Rated Doors – Fire rated doors compartmentalize smoke and flames and help secure an emergency exit route for safe egress in an evacuation. Commercial fire rated doors are often made from wood, metal, and fire-rated glass or ceramic glazing material. UL fire listings are available in 20-minute, 45-minute, 60-minute, 90-minute, and 180-minute(3hr.) classifications.

Commercial Metal Doors – Commercial metal doors are steel doors that are designed for commercial use.  Also known as “Hollow Metal Doors,” commercial steel doors aren’t exactly hollow. Hollow metal doors have a non-metal internal core that provides additional rigidity and insulation. Fire rated metal doors can carry UL fire listings of 20-, 45-, 60-, 90- or 180-minutes (3hr.)

Stainless-Steel Commercial Doors – Stainless steel doors are known to have anti-corrosive and anti-bacterial properties in addition to all the benefits of cold-rolled or galvanized steel commercial hollow metal doors. Stainless steel doors are frequently used in airports, food processing facilities, pharmaceutical processing facilities, laboratories, medical centers, and other places where an anti-corrosive, anti-bacterial, or high-end commercial steel door is preferred.

Commercial Wood Doors – Commercial wood doors are solid core wood doors that can be constructed with paintable, stainable, factory finished or laminate door surfaces. Solid wood stiles, wood rails, engineered particle core and bond-to core construction serve as the baseline durability for frequent commercial use. Structural composite lumber core (SCL core) offers increased strength, stability, durability, and screw holding power for heavy-duty wood door applications. Fire rated wood doors can be manufactured to meet 20-minute, 45-minute, 60-minute or 90-minute UL fire listings. Wood fire rated doors require a mineral fiber core when labelled for 45-, 60-, or 90-minute fire door applications.

Hollow Metal Frames – Hollow metal frames are made from 16 gauge or 14-gauge steel and can be mounted to concrete or block walls, steel, or wood stud walls, or nearly any wall type when the proper wall anchor type is ordered. Hollow metal frames can be configured as 3-sided door frames, double door frames, double egress frames, side-lites with glass beside the door, transoms with glass or a metal panel above the door, or borrowed lite fixed, inoperable, window frames for commercial or fire-rated windows and wall partitions.

Pre-Finished Steel Door Frames – Prefinished steel door frames are designed quick and low-cost installation in medium to light commercial openings. Prefinished steel door frames are most common in white, dark brown, black, or gray aluminum colors and typically used with pre-finished commercial wood doors.

Aluminum Door Frames – Interior aluminum door frames are made from extruded aluminum and offer a modern and sleek look with sharp, squared edges. Aluminum door frames are typically preferred in clear anodized aluminum, bronze anodized aluminum or black colors and typically used with interior wood doors that are supplied with factory stained or high-pressure plastic laminate door surfaces.

Door Window Kits & Vision Lites – Fire rated door window kits include a metal vision lite (door window frame) glass and glazing tape. Vision lites are available with varying designs, glass thicknesses, door thicknesses, material options, finish colors and additional security features.

Metal Louver Doors – Metal door louvers allow air flow through a door while maintaining privacy and security. Metal louvers can be fire-rated to 90 minutes when used in an approved assembly and are available in cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless-steel materials.

Fire-Rated Glass – Fire rated glass ceramic can carry UL fire listings to 180 minutes when used in approved sizes and assemblies. Fire rated glass ceramic is a wire-free, impact safe, fire-protective glazing material that’s approved for use in commercial doors, side-lites, transoms and fire-rated window applications. Safety wire glass is another type of fire protective glass that can carry UL listings up to 90 minutes when used in approved assemblies. In addition to its fire resistance, safety wire glass also provides a sense security by adding an internal wire mesh as a visual deterrent.
