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.

I've had a great experience with Vortex. Their customer service rep was able to answer every question I had and scheduled a technician to come out swiftly. Christian came onsite today and blew me away by how knowledgeable he was about fixing the issue I had with an emergency exit door that was no longer opening. He was able to quickly troubleshoot the issue, provided more clarity on how this occurred, and ways to avoid this from reoccurring going forward. His customer service and professionalism stood out to me. I wish more service technicians were like this. He just raised the bar for every technician out there!!

Skyler came to our Maya Apartments property in Ktown and worked on our door. From the start, he was incredibly friendly and helpful and followed proper protocol! I really appreciated how he checked in with me the entire time he was working on the issue and asked for not only approval but explained the process of what he was doing so I was aware of the issue. He is a great employee and knows what he’s doing.
