Types of Commercial Doors
Revolving doors are made to rotate counter-clockwise with traffic entering on the right side and then stepping between two "wings" of the door that rotate constantly with a motor or manually through pushing. The doors are constructed with flaps that create a light seal against the frame of the door so two of the wings are always in contact. This means the door is always open and always closed at the same time.Revolving doors handle high traffic and some have safety features that allow the wings to collapse and make an open door for quick exit.
Steel Doors, these hollow metal doors are made from sheets that are steel wrapped around some form of core. Though they are referred to as "hollow," they actually contain either foam insulation, steel stiffeners or a resinous honeycombed core. These doors are the standard material for most exterior commercial doors. They offer a high level of security and are long-lasting and cost effective. Steel doors may be used on the interior of a building in mechanical rooms or other heavy-duty applications.
Stainless Steel Doors are designed to meet and exceed the harsh environmental exposures like: chemicals, water, moisture and others. Indoor swimming pool areas, laboratories, bottling plants, food processing plants and all tropical environments are ideal for Stainless Steel Doors.
Overhead doors are made from sheets of steel. They are used at loading docks and manufacturing facilities to allow large objects to be brought into the building. These doors are often 8 to 10 ft. wide, and can be built to any height. Overhead doors coil up towards the ceiling like a garage door, and may be manually or automatically operated.
Fiberglass doors are some of the most durable and long-lasting options for commercial openings. They require little to no maintenance and will generally outlast steel and wood doors, especially on high abuse applications. Many school districts use fiberglass doors to reduce replacement and maintenance costs in the long-term. Fiberglass units are often more costly than other materials.
Automatic glass doors use optical or motion detection sensors to activate their motorized opening and closing functions. These sensors are mounted over the automatic door or are integrated into the door framing from above or the side. The sensors use either infrared or microwave technology to observe motion and are often used in commercial and industrial settings to allow ease of access for both able-bodied and disabled persons, for efficiency and safety.
Tempered Glass Doors, these full glass doors are used primarily on interior applications due to their decorative appearance. They allow large amounts of light to pass through, and help make a building appear more open. These doors are made from safety glass so that there is a reduced risk of injury if the door is broken. Most glass doors are hung on pivots, and may be hung with or without a frame. Glass doors are usually not fire-rated.
Aluminum & Glass Doors Doors made from aluminum and glass are frequently used at entrance ways in commercial structures. They are chosen primarily for the clean, sleek look of the aluminum, but also because they allow natural light to shine into the building. These doors are fairly low-maintenance because they do not require painting or staining like metal or wood. While other commercial doors are installed in steel frames, these doors are installed in aluminum frames, which have a slightly different profile than other units. Aluminum assemblies can usually only be fire-rated up to one hour, which may not meet some building codes.

Ballistic Bullet Proof Doors bullet-proof steel doors prevents bullets from travelling through it. Its application areas include, e.g., safe rooms in airports and train stations, police stations, banks, court buildings, police cells in large arenas, but also private buildings which demand a high-level of security.
