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.

The only company to call for any commercial door issues. Ryan and Dakota show up early as request and didn't leave till it was done. Thanks Team Vortex for your fast service 👍 🙌 👏

Our Tech was friendly and professional. He went above and beyond to ensure our doors were the safest for our Furry Friends staying with us at Exceptional Pets. Ralph did an amazing job.
Bob P.
Donald was the epitome of friendliness and professionalism. He took pains to ensure that the patch not only fit perfectly but also securely. Despite the pouring rain, he maintained his composure, finishing the job in less than an hour from start to finish. I greatly appreciate that Donald even took the time to clean up the mess created by the repair. He is a great asset to Vortex, a representative that any company should be happy to have.

Had the honor working with Sam and Henry all week with auto doors. Sam is Auto wizards! When situations got tough he found another way to get the door operating. He was successful able to take down a metal auto door and made some modifications and brought back to Amgen and was able to successfully install it and have it working. I wish we had an employee like Sam at our company.
