When it comes to doors, materials matter — especially for commercial facilities. The right material will stand up to the heavy use of an industrial environment, while also providing the security needed to protect your equipment and inventory while you’re away. Because of this, few options compare to commercial steel doors.

What Are the Benefits of Commercial Steel Doors?

1. Natural Durability

Steel doors have consistently held up well under cycle tests, making them well-suited for commercial and industrial facilities. The natural strength of steel means that these doors are less likely to dent or crack if something hits into them.

Specialty coatings applied during the finishing process make them resistant to extreme temperatures and humidity, snow, and other environmental hazards. A life span of 30 years or more and minimal maintenance needs make them ideally suited for high-traffic environments. Annually lubricating the moving components should keep the door in top shape.

2. Security & Fire Resistance

When your facility is locked down for the night, commercial steel doors can provide much-needed peace of mind. Hollow steel doors are especially secure thanks to their ability to absorb and disperse the force of an impact.

This prevents frame damage and reduces the likelihood of the door being easily broken open. Steel is a naturally noncombustible and fire-resistant material. This can help slow the spread of a fire. As such, closing the doors during a fire can help slow its spread through your facility.

3. Customization

Commercial steel doors offer practicality, but they can also be customized to better fit your facility’s aesthetics. Rust-resistant finishes and acrylic latex paints will give these doors a classy look that perfectly blends with the rest of your building.

These doors are also available in custom sizes and configurations to better meet the needs of facilities where a residential garage door-sized space wouldn’t provide enough room for large machinery, heavy equipment, and pallets of industrial products to enter.
