Commercial doors are found in nearly every industry, serve a wide range of functions, and come in all shapes and sizes. Quite often a lot of time and attention goes into selecting the right commercial doors from a reputable manufacturer and installing the doors correctly. During this process it can be easy to overlook a crucial piece of a doors success, the door hardware.
Door hardware is an integral part of a doors function and longevity, and commercial door hardware even more so than residential door hardware.
When we talk about door hardware, we are referring to door levers, knobs, deadbolts, exit devices, overhead door stops, push pull latches, keypad locks, and other locking devices. This is why commercial door hardware is so important. For instance, finding a top-of-the-line storm rated hurricane door is only going to get you so far if you don't pair it with equally well manufactured, storm rated hardware.
Commercial locks and exit devices are vitally important to a commercial doors function. Many commercial applications rely on state-of-the-art locking mechanisms to ensure security. Secured facilities often have multiple layers of security, and each locking mechanism must perform as intended.
Similarly, many specialty purpose doors require corresponding hardware to function as intended. Blast doors require specific hardware, as do hurricane rated doors and fire doors.
Each component of a doors hardware, from the hinges to opening devices, should be chosen with the doors intended purpose in mind.
Just because hardware is functional, doesn't mean aesthetics are unimportant. Commercial door hardware can also contribute greatly to the aesthetics of a space. While the door itself is more visually dominant, the door hardware is a subtle but important piece of the overall aesthetics.
