Continuous Hinges

It’s recommended that all storefronts have doors with continuous hinges. These run all the way down the door, rather than the two or three hinge system that a typical door has. This is because in busy doorways, a lot of stress is put on the top hinge and the door will fail after some time after the door starts to sag.

The continuous hinge distributes the weight and stress to ensure smooth operation over the years. It is often a requirement for local fire codes in businesses since you need a door that will not get stuck closed in case of an emergency.

Door Closers

Door closers are devices that automatically close a door after it has been opened. They can also be called door openers; automatic doors with an opener will open at the push of a button, making them handicap-accessible. Businesses typically install them at the top of the door, or they can be concealed within the door system.

Door closers are good for keeping the room temperature steady since the door won’t be left open to let out air-conditioned or heated air. They also are important for fire codes since they prevent the spread of smoke and fire.
