Commercial Glass Storefront Doors

Commercial entrance frames and engineered sidelite assemblies are manufactured in steel thickness options ranging from 18 gauge to heavy-duty 12 gauge. Frame profiles can be supplied in 16 gauge or 12 gauge steel for welded and cut-and-notch configurations, while door units accommodate 18 gauge through 12 gauge. Available material options include stainless steel as well as A60 galvannealed steel for enhanced durability.

Yes, engineered openings including sidelite, transom, and window frame assemblies are available with UL fire-rated labeling. These assemblies are manufactured in compliance with NAAMM and HMMA standards to meet strict commercial life-safety and fire-rated egress building requirements. Fire-rated hollow metal doors paired with these openings offer temperature rise, polystyrene, polyurethane, or steel-stiffened core constructions.

Commercial hollow metal frames can be ordered as fully welded assemblies or cut-and-notch knocked down units depending on shipping and site assembly preferences. Welded frames arrive assembled for rigid commercial construction, while cut-and-notch frames allow efficient transport and straightforward mechanical assembly on the job site. Both configurations accommodate standard doorways, sidelight frames, transom frames, and borrowed light applications.

Standard production lead times are five to seven business days for hollow metal frame assemblies and seven to ten business days for standard commercial doors. In addition, quick-ship service programs are available with one-day, two-day, three-day, and five-day lead times. Same-day delivery is also offered on select products, backed by a dedicated truck fleet.

Commercial hollow metal door panels engineered for high-traffic entrances are available with multiple internal core constructions. Depending on project specifications and fire-protection requirements, configurations include polystyrene cores, polyurethane cores, steel-stiffened cores, and temperature rise cores. Doors can also be specified with flush or embossed panel designs and carry a one-year manufacturer warranty.

Yes, commercial door frames and engineered opening assemblies are manufactured in both standard and specialized architectural profiles. Fabricated options include arched, radius, and segmented frame shapes to accommodate varied storefront designs. Furthermore, assemblies support specialty commercial configurations such as pocket door frames, double egress openings, lead-lined radiation shielding applications, and multi-panel glazed window systems.
