Having commercial doors installed at your place of business can be a big undertaking. While the benefits of having updated doors make it worthwhile, being unprepared for the installation can cause delays. Follow these simple steps to help the process go smoothly.

3 Tips to Get Ready for Commercial Door Installation

1. Clear the Installation Area

Move signage, displays, furniture, or anything else that may be in the way of workers as they install the doors. Clutter can pose tripping hazards and delay the contractors when they have to stop to make room to work.

Most commercial door components are quite heavy and bulky, so make their delivery as convenient as possible by designating the shortest path to the installation site. Reserve the parking spot closest to the entrance for the delivery truck, and clear the pathway to the job site.

2. Keep People Out of the Way

Only the contracted installers should be in or near the project area. Without proper training and safety equipment, employees and clients may be injured if they get in the way of the workers.

If possible, schedule the installation for after hours. Inform your employees of the work being done if they’re on the premises at the time of installation. If the project can only be done during the workday, cordon off the area and direct visitors to another entrance.

3. Consult the Contractor Beforehand

Settle all questions and concerns before the installers arrive. Once they’re on-site, any questions you pose may cause additional delays if the workers don’t have the answers.
