Hollow Metal Doors

We sell, install, and repair hollow metal doors, frames, and hardware. We have you covered whether you need a large number of new hollow metal doors or just a cosmetic repair. Typically, a hollow metal door is prepped for the type of hardware that is anticipated for the door. More specifically, if the hollow metal door needs a closer, we will reinforce the closer area of the door. Our new hollow metal doors come primed to paint. We typically do not do the painting. We recommend that you paint the slabs after the installation so that the paint is not damaged during the install.

Welded and Knock-down Frames

Typically a welded frame is utilized for new construction and a knock-down frame is for remodels. The welded frame comes welded together at the points where the frame legs connect to the frame header. In contrast, a knock-down frame is bolted together inside the existing opening. Sometimes frames are concrete filled to better reinforce the entrance.

Hollow Metal Door Hardware

The lowest cost hardware is a surface mount closer, thumb-turn lock, and lever set. Of course, there are various grades of door closing devices typically ranked as low, medium and heavy duty. In lieu of the lever set one can introduce a panic device. A step up from that entails the installation of vertical rods that recess into the threshold and header of the door frame. Sometimes fire codes dictate the direction and other times it is determined by security requirements.

Hollow metal doors can also come with window kits. Wish you had a window? No problem, we can install a window kit on an existing hollow metal door.
