Everything to Consider When Installing Conference Room Doors

June 28, 2023 | Commercial Doors

When installing conference room doors, there are four factors to consider: light, durability, privacy, and cost. How important each of these is to your organization determines which doors are best suited to your conference room.

Light

Bright spaces make people alert and productive. They also make it easier to read documents and concentrate on the information being presented to them. And while doors don’t generate light, they have a huge impact on it. Glass doors not only allow your conference room to take advantage of its own lighting, but surrounding lights as well, which helps make meetings more constructive.

Durability

Because conference rooms are a focal point for company activities, they tend to experience more wear and tear than most other doors in your building. Of course all conference room doors can withstand repeated use, but metal doors tend to withstand it the longest. They resist dents, scratches, impacts, and other sorts of damage that occur whenever large groups of people move in and out of a room.

Privacy

Sometimes information needs to be shared without becoming widely known. If you don’t want people looking in on your documents and presentations, you’ll either need a wood door, a metal door, or a frosted glass door. While traditional glass doors promote visibility, frosted glass doors create privacy while still allowing outside light to filter in. They don’t have to be entirely frosted either. Frosting half the glass prevents passersby from reading sensitive documents without obscuring the entire room.

Cost

Wood doors are generally more affordable than glass or steel. However, since every company needs to consider maintenance costs as well as purchase costs, installing steel or glass doors in the busiest areas of your building may be the best way to save money in the long run.

Overhead doors have been a nightmare the past 3-4 years. Had a 12' X 14' one damaged by high wind. The only (or perhaps first) company who could get it replaced the next day turned out to be a firefighters part time business. Installation was less than perfect and actuator acted up frequently, the tracks were not straight and so on. About three months ago something happened to a cable causing the door to fall on one side, stuck about two feet from closing. Called the same phone number and got "garage doors" as the answer. Didn't think much about that and someone did show up late in the day. Unfortunately anything bigger than a single residential door scared him and he only assisted me in cutting the cables allowing the door to drop and close. $400 for after hours show up! Next day they sent their commercial door expert. He worked on it most of the day including a 2-3 hour trip to get parts because he did not have appropriate size parts on his truck (if any parts at all). He spent several hours charged $1800 before leaving and it sorta worked OK until last night when the actuator would not work to close it. I put a call into Vortex Doors for a call back this morning which came promptly. The seemingly knowledgeable young lady told me they had quite a few emergency calls and would probably not be able to get out until next week which was OK with me. A little after 3:30 I get a call saying they had a tech who could come and inspect to see what was wrong. Andy showed up a few minutes later (we are only about a mile away as it turned out). My instructions were I just wanted it to work reliably for a few years. We had a brief discussion pointing out things to each other and he got right to work making numerous adjustments and checking it out from stem to stern. In a little over two hours he had made changes, adjustments and likely completed and repaired the original installation, pointed out everything he did, left me with copies of his check sheets. I ask if he had a bill for me and was told the office would contact me...no credit card robbery on the spot! Andy was obviously more knowledgeable than anyone else who had touched the door. The service was professional, courteous, prompt and overall great. I will not make the mistake of calling anyone else in the future. Thanks Andy and thanks Vortex Doors!
