Exterior Metal Entry Doors with Glass

Yes, hollow metal steel doors can accommodate glazed openings, transoms, borrowed lights, and sidelite frames. Depending on the project requirements, openings can be configured with glazed or paneled inserts, standard or custom profiles, and various steel thicknesses. When life safety is required, assemblies comply with NAAMM and HMMA specifications and carry UL fire ratings.

Door frames and engineered opening assemblies are manufactured in steel thickness options ranging from 16 gauge to 12 gauge. Door slabs are available in options from 18 gauge to 12 gauge. Selecting the proper gauge depends on the specific commercial entrance application, traffic volume, structural durability requirements, and applicable fire-rated opening specifications.

Hollow metal doors are manufactured with multiple core options to meet varying performance needs. These include polystyrene, polyurethane, temperature rise, and steel-stiffened cores. For specialty openings, assemblies can also be configured as lead-lined doors for radiation shielding or engineered with flush and embossed panel exterior designs.

Hollow metal frames are offered in both fully welded and cut-and-notch knockdown configurations. Frame profiles can be engineered to standard 3-sided doorway installations or custom designs, including arched, radius, and segmented options. Specialty configurations encompass sidelite, transom, borrowed light, pocket door, and double egress frame assemblies.

Yes, doors and engineered frames can be ordered with UL fire-rated labeling. Fire-rated products comply with NAAMM and HMMA standards to satisfy life safety and building egress regulations. Fire-rated assemblies include doors with temperature rise cores, welded and knockdown frames, sidelite units, and double egress openings.

Commercial openings exposed to outdoor conditions or high humidity can be fabricated from stainless steel or A60 galvannealed steel. These materials provide superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to standard finishes, ensuring long-term structural integrity and compliance across exterior commercial and institutional entrances.
