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.

Patrick from the West Valley location was extremely helpful and efficient! He was able to fully diagnose two problematic commercial door issues, one of which we have had looked at multiple times by other technicians. Before he left, he made sure we had an idea of what it would cost for repairs. Thank you Patrick for your dedication to doing the job right!

I called Vortex this morning, provided my company's information and address. The receptionist who answered was polite and told me a tech would call on there Arrival, to which Vincent did. I met with Vincent outside, clean and professional appearance in both himself and vehicle. I explained the issues with both the gate and bay door. Vincent quickly assessed the problem, suggested some technical expertise and resolved the problem quickly. Now my business can go back to normal operation safely. Thank you Vincent and Vortex for your quick and professional service.
