    Enhance Your Business’ Security with Commercial Doors

    As a business owner in Hamilton, you know the importance of security for your business. One way to enhance your business security is by choosing the right commercial doors. In this blog post, we'll explore the different types of commercial doors, locking systems, door frames and hardware, and additional security features that can help enhance your business security. We'll also provide some tips for choosing the right commercial doors for your business security needs and how City Window & Glass can help.

    Assessing Your Business’ Security Risks
    When it comes to selecting the right commercial doors for your business security needs, it's important to start by assessing the security risks of your business. This involves identifying potential entry points for intruders, evaluating the surrounding environment, and considering the nature of your business operations.
    For example, if you run a retail store with high-value merchandise, you may need a more robust security system than a small office with minimal equipment. Similarly, if your business is in a high-crime area or experiences a lot of foot traffic, you may need additional security features such as reinforced door frames or anti-pry hardware.

    Types of Commercial Doors for Enhanced Security
    When it comes to selecting the right commercial door for your business, there are several types to choose from. Here are some of the most common types of commercial doors that can help enhance your business security:

    • Steel doors: The most popular choice for enhanced security due to their strength and durability.
    • Aluminum glass doors: Popular for their aesthetic appeal and ability to provide visibility while maintaining security.
    • Fire-rated doors: Designed to resist fire and smoke, providing an added layer of protection for your business.


    Locking Systems for Commercial Doors
    Locking systems are a critical component of commercial doors. At City Window & Glass, we offer keyless entry systems, which use electronic keypads or card readers to allow authorized personnel access to your business. We also offer access control systems, which use a combination of card readers, biometric scanners, and other technologies to provide secure access to your business. Deadbolts and cylinder locks are the most common type of locking system for commercial doors, and we offer a variety of options to suit your business needs. Smart locks are becoming increasingly popular for their convenience and security, and we can help you choose the right smart lock for your business.

    Door Frames and Hardware for Enhanced Security
    Door frames and hardware are another important component of commercial doors. At City Window & Glass, we offer reinforced door frames, which are designed to prevent forced entry by reinforcing the weakest points of the door frame. We also offer anti-pry hardware, which is designed to prevent intruders from prying the door open with tools. Door closers ensure that your commercial doors close and latch properly, preventing unauthorized access. Hinges and pivot sets are designed to support the weight of heavy doors and prevent tampering. Referring to the first paragraph, it is important to understand what your business’ unique risks and needs are to ensure you have the correct amount of security while managing your budget.

    Additional Security Features for Commercial Doors
    In addition to the features listed above, there are several additional security features that can enhance the security of your commercial doors. At City Window & Glass, we offer security film, which is a clear, adhesive film that is applied to the glass on your commercial doors. It can help prevent the glass from shattering during a break-in attempt. Intrusion detection systems use sensors and alarms to detect unauthorized access to your business. While many people focus on keeping unwanted individuals out when it comes to business security, it's essential to also consider the need for a quick exit in case of a fire or other emergency. Panic bars and exit devices serve this purpose by providing a safe and easy escape route when needed.

    City Window & Glass can help you select the right commercial doors for your business security needs. Contact us today to learn more.
