Evaluating Commercial Steel Door Options for Your Business

When you begin to search for the right commercial steel door for your property or business, it can be a little overwhelming. There are tons of options and some questions you need to think through to choose the best option for your building. 

Here are some things to keep in mind when deciding which metal door is right for you and your business. 

  • What’s the metal door’s purpose?

This is the first thing you should think about when deciding on which metal door you will need for your project. Will your door be client facing? If so, how it looks might be one of the more important factors to showcase your business. Is the door primarily going to be used by staff? That might mean functionality is more important than aesthetics. 

  • How secure do you need your metal door?

No matter your project, figuring out the level of security required for your door is necessary. Are you in an area that would require a higher level of security? Or possibly your business needs simply require a higher degree of security? Either way, steel metal doors are some of the most secure out there so most options available should work for a high-security project. 

  • Are aesthetics important? 

Depending on the purpose, aesthetics of your steel door may be important. Steel doors aren’t always the most attractive looking doors–they are focused on security and functionality. However, some steel and glass combination doors are perfect for client or customer-facing situations 

  • What’s your budget? 

Perhaps the most important consideration is your budget. The above factors all play into the overall cost of your commercial steel door. Prior to meeting with one of our highly-trained technicians, it’s best to decide how much you have to invest in your commercial door. Keep in mind that the more secure or aesthetically pleasing doors are most likely going to require more of an investment.

Vortex was one of three companies we contacted for a quote to have our back doors worked on. Vortex was willing to have a representative come out and see the job first hand and provide guidance on the project. Devon was on time and quick to provide a simple solution. Within a couple days we received a quotation and a follow up phone call to make sure we were understanding of the quote and work to be done. Josette made sure to work out the schedule and always responded to inquiries quickly. The technician that was dispatched, Ralph, was great. Ralph was on time, precise, efficient and professional. The project took several hours to complete. Ralph did not waste on minute. Make sure to ask for Ralph to work on your project. You can not be disappointed by his efforts. We strongly encourage you to consider Vortex for your door repairs and installs. Do not waste time trying to get a "better" quote or "deal". In the end, they are simply the best.

Jeff Burbine was excellent! There were issues with the initial wiring, but Jeff stayed ALL DAY to make sure it got done. He even cleaned up after he left leaving the place better than when he found it! I'd recommend him to any of our Options for Youth locations!
