Deciding Which Commercial Steel Door Is Right For You

September 10, 2020 | Commercial Doors

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.

Edited: Met with Devin today and worked out an agreement that was agreeable to both parties. Overall, we are very happy with the work, and they have notated our account to prevent any future unauthorized work from being done before it is quoted and pricing is approved. The work that was done was fine, but we were originally quoted $1300. There was some additional work that was suggested by the technician, which is also fine. However, there was no discussion about the cost of that additional work. We later (as another reviewer noted) had to ask for an invoice, and it was $7200. I feel that an increase of more than four times the original estimate should warrant a discussion about the increase in cost. One of our representatives did authorize the additional work, but the responsibility to inform us of the additional cost lies with Vortex, and that did not happen.

I asked Ralph if he could look at another door we were having a problem with and gladly looked at it and fixed that problem also. He was considerate of the phone ringing and try to work around when sales men were not on the phone.
