Commercial buildings differ significantly from residential structures, and they often require specialized materials to ensure the safety and security of everyone indoors. For instance, many business owners in specific industry niches choose to invest in metal doors to offer further protection for their inventory, staff, and customers instead of selecting wooden or glass doors.
At Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we’re proud to supply a wide range of metal doors to suit the unique needs of all our commercial clients. Here are three specific industries that can often greatly benefit from metal doors:
- Retail. Metal doors are significantly harder to break through than wooden ones. Metal’s increased durability will deter burglars and vandals by presenting more of a challenge for getting behind it. Retail spaces wanting to protect their product, especially spaces with highly valuable items like jewelry or electronics, should consider installing metal doors to better limit access to their inventory.
- Medicine. Medical facilities have to carefully restrict and limit access to potentially dangerous medications, expensive equipment, and other essential healthcare items. Metal doors help protect rooms where these items are stored. Some types of doors, such as hollow metal doors, also assist in energy efficiency and insulation, which is important for medical spaces where temperature control is needed to maintain the effectiveness of certain pharmaceutical products.
- Event Centers. Large event centers that see a lot of foot traffic benefit greatly the increased durability of metal doors. Constant foot traffic can lead to doors getting damaged, but metal doors hold up much better to constant use. People accidentally kicking or knocking into a metal door won’t cause the same damages that they would to a wooden door, for example.
To help you better protect your commercial space, our team is here to help install metal doors wherever you need them. Contact us today to learn more.
