Upgrades To Make To Your Commercial Doors

Posted on: 19 October 2020

If you are to make sure that your business is as accessible and welcoming as possible to customers, it can be necessary to invest in some basic hardware for your commercial doors. Luckily, commercial door hardware can be relatively inexpensive and easy for a professional to install.

Door Closers

Having the doors of the business slam can be extremely disruptive to your customers and your employees. Unfortunately, this can be a common occurrence if your business receives a lot of foot traffic over the course of a day. One way to reduce this problem can be to install door closers. These are devices that will help to slow the door as it is closing so that it will be less likely to slam shut. As a result, the door will generally be far quieter.

Smart System Integration

Many businesses will use smart systems to help manage the building. This can make it possible to easily control the HVAC, security, and other key systems. Adding sensors to the commercial doors that can track when they are locked and unlocked can be extremely useful when it comes to monitoring the access to the building. Furthermore, this may also allow for the door to be integrated into security systems, which may allow you to remotely monitor the status of the door as well as to lock and unlock it. While these features can be extremely useful, they are among the more complicated upgrades you can make to your door. You may want to leave this work to a professional to ensure it is properly installed and connected.

Accessibility Upgrades

Some people have mobility issues that can make it very difficult for them to use standard doors. Fortunately, there are accessibility systems that can be added to commercial doors that will allow these individuals to more easily open and close the door. For example, some of these systems will have a control panel that will allow the door to be opened with the push of a button while others may use sensors to automatically open when someone approaches. By making an effort to install these systems, you can ensure that these individuals are able to enter the building while complying with accessibility requirements. While some businesses may assume that adding these features will require a complete replacement of the door, this is not the case as most commercial doors can be retrofitted with this hardware.
