Commercial Requirements
 

When designing for commercial use there are safety requirements that need special treatment. We see our products used in commercial wineries and retail storefronts so we offer a selection of add-ons to our products to meet the needs of automatic door closers, single operation egress and ADA kick panels.

We work closely with a project’s design team to track, develop and implement these special needs solutions.

Please let us know of any special requirements you may need design input for.

Automatic Door Closers
 

When automatic door closers are required we offer a few selections. Because of the narrow profiles of steel products, there is not room for concealed hydraulic closers. We have approached the surface mount closer from a few different directions.

We have developed a solution for outswing doors with an interior mounted closer. When the door has transom windows above we are able to attach the closer to the mullion above the door. When the door is full height and close to the ceiling, we are able to attach the closer body vertically into the ceiling and hide the body of the closer. Both solutions have minimal visual exposure. We also show a more traditional installation with the closer mounted to the exterior of the door head.
