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.

Team P.
We have a small print shop storefront close to the AT&T Center (where the SA Spurs play) and needed a retail front door. We shopped around and called a number of door companies with minimal, or should I say, less than enthusiastic efforts to gain our trust and business. Our stores structure was built in the 1950's so there were many company representatives who came to check it out and never got back to us or there quote was out of this world because of the possibility of many unforeseen issues, to say the least. Once we called VORTEX I could tell we finally had the ball rolling in the right direction. There were a number of folks involved from the beginning; the local Mgr. Randy McFarland, Scott McGauvren, to the installers including Cotton and Josh as well as a few others who's names I've forgotten. Most importantly it was a great overall effort by everyone involved ! Although not everything went as planned due to the age of the building and the unexpected obstacles, everything went as smoothly as anyone could expect. Even though they had to return after the initial installation, it was all handled in an organized and professional manner. Thanks to Mr. McFarland and his San Antonio, VORTEX group we have an awesome retail storefront door. JS
