Commercial Steel Door Performance Level
Standard for Most Commercial Doors
Level 2 | 18ga.
18 gauge steel doors are classified as physical performance level 2 for heavy-duty commercial durability.
Level 3 | 16ga.
16 gauge steel doors are classified as physical performance level 3 for extra heavy-duty commercial durability.
Level 4 | 14ga.
14 gauge steel doors are classified as physical performance level 4 for maximum commercial durability.
Materials & Finishes
Standard for Most Commercial Doors
Cold Rolled Steel | Prime Coat
Cold rolled steel is made by adding tensile force to hot rolled steel sheets. The cold-rolling process increases density, hardens the steel, and produces a consistent surface that’s ideal for commercial doors and frames.
Standard for Most Commercial Doors
Galvanneal | Prime Coat
Galvanneal steel is produced when cold-rolled steel is dipped into liquified zinc then heated until a new zinc-iron alloy is created. Galveanneal steel doors are known for their improved corrosion resistance and superior paint adhesion properties.
Galvanized | Prime Coat
Galvanized steel is produced when cold rolled steel is dipped in a hot zinc coating. Galvanized steel doors are resistant to corrosion but offer poor paint adhesion compared to annealed steel doors.
Commercial Steel Door Models
Standard for Most Commercial Doors
Model 1 | Full Flush
Full flush commercial metal doors are formed with a visible seam at the door edge.
Model 2 | Seamless
Seamless edge steel doors have filled, finished, and prime-coated vertical edges.
Hollow Metal Door Cores
Standard for Most Commercial Doors
Polystyrene
Polystyrene provides a hollow metal door with rigidity, resistance to dents and insulating properties.
Standard for Most Commercial Doors
Honeycomb
Resin-hardened honeycomb core stabilizes a hollow metal door and provides resistance to impact and dents.
Steel Stiffened
Steel stiffened doors have steel reinforcements welded inside the door cavity. Insulation is used to fill any air space.
Temp Rise
Temperature rise doors have a mineral composite core that reduces heat transfer to the non-fire side of a door.
Urethane
Polyurethane foam is expanded inside the cavity of a hollow metal door to improve insulating values.
Specialty Door Cores
STC or acoustical doors are used in studios, theaters and applications where audible noise is a concern.
Lead lined doors resist the transfer of radiation in medical, energy and aerospace facilities.
Ballistic doors are designed for use in areas where a firearm is likely to be discharged.
Blast doors are designed to protect building occupants and property during an explosion.
