Upgrading Our Front Door

Maintaining a commercial property over time can be a lot of work and comes with a lot of responsibility, but changing the doors out as needed is imperative. You want to be sure that the building is safe, and that everyone inside is protected.

You also need to keep everyone out when the building is supposed to be closed. If you are worried about safety and crime in your area, look at these features in new doors before replacing what you have.

Heavy Steel Doors

Spare no expense when it comes to picking out the new commercial doors. The doors should be composed of heavy steel so they can't be kicked in easily or compromised by weapons or tolls. You can have windows in main entrance doors and glass if you want natural light and people to be easily visible, but this has to be glass that is bulletproof. Minimal glass is best.

Automatic Locking Features

If you don't want people to be able to enter the building whenever they want, or you want limited access to certain parts of the building, you'll want to get doors that have an automatic locking system.

This means that the door is locked every time it closes and you will need to be let in. These are ideal because people can leave the building without problems but can't get back in without going to the main entrances. If you are worried about safety, this prevents people from entering the building unnoticed.

Automated Controls

Having control of the locks on all the entrance doors is ideal for a commercial property owner. This can be controlled by a smartphone. You can:

• Lock the building down if there is a safety concern outside
• Lock the building down if there is someone inside after hours
• Monitor what hours of the day the doors can be accessed
• Get alerts each time a door is opened and closed

There are a lot of different locking and security features that you can look for when you are replacing all the exterior doors around your commercial property. Investing in doors that protect the property is investing in your building, and the peace of mind that you can feel is invaluable.

Have the doors professionally installed to make sure there are no flaws or errors. From there you'll want to have the locks tested and learn how to monitor the doors wirelessly from your app.
