Built for the spec
Three door systems. One accountable installer.
Commercial openings have to meet the architect’s spec, the GC’s schedule, and the inspector’s checklist. We install hollow metal doors and frames, aluminum storefront doors, and fire-rated assemblies — and we manage the submittals, hardware, and field detailing so every opening passes the first time.
Choose your system
The right door for the opening.
Each system solves a different commercial need — durable service openings, glazed entrances, and life-safety compliance. We’ll match the assembly to the spec.
Hollow Metal Doors & Frames
Heavy-duty steel doors and frames for back-of-house, mechanical, stairwell, and rated openings. The commercial workhorse.
Aluminum Storefront Doors
Glazed aluminum entrance doors for retail, office, and lobby frontage — clean sightlines and high traffic durability.
Fire-Rated Doors
Rated door assemblies that satisfy life-safety code at corridors, stairs, and rated walls — without losing daylight.
System 01 · The workhorse
Hollow metal doors & frames.
Hollow metal doors and frames are the backbone of commercial openings — durable, secure, and code-ready for rated and non-rated locations. We install complete assemblies with the hardware to match the spec.
- Hollow metal doors with welded or knock-down frames
- Fire-rated and non-rated openings
- Heavy-duty commercial hardware and exit devices
- Back-of-house, mechanical, and stairwell applications
- Ceco, Curries, and Steelcraft product through DCI
System 02 · Glazed entrances
Aluminum storefront doors.
Glazed aluminum entrance doors handle the highest-traffic openings in a building — retail, office, and lobby frontage. Clean sightlines, durable hardware, and seamless integration with the storefront system.
- Narrow, medium, and wide-stile aluminum doors
- Integrated with storefront and curtain wall
- Heavy-duty closers, pivots, and exit devices
- ADA-compliant thresholds and operators available
- Thermally broken and Title 24-compliant options
System 03 · Life-safety
Fire-rated doors.
When the code calls for a rated opening, the door still has to function and look right. We install fire-rated door assemblies that satisfy life-safety requirements at corridors, stairwells, and rated walls.
- 20-, 45-, 60-, 90-, and 180-minute rated assemblies
- Fire-rated vision lites and glazing options
- Rated hardware, closers, and exit devices
- Hollow metal and aluminum rated configurations
- Current UL listings and documentation for plan check
Side by side
How our commercial doors compare.
Three systems, three jobs. Use this to scope the right door before we review your drawings and hardware schedule.
| Feature | Hollow MetalMost used | Aluminum Storefront | Fire-Rated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary use | Service & rated openings | Glazed entrances | Life-safety openings |
| Material | Steel | Aluminum + glass | Steel or aluminum |
| Daylight | Optional vision lite | High | Optional rated lite |
| Security / durability | Highest | High | High |
| Typical location | Back-of-house, stairs | Retail, office, lobby | Corridors, stairs, rated walls |
| Key standard | UFC / ASTM / NFPA | Title 24 / AAMA / ADA | UL / NFPA fire rating |
Most projects use all three — hollow metal back-of-house, storefront at the entrance, fire-rated at the stairs. We coordinate the full hardware schedule across them.
