There’s no official “Day of The Doors” on the calendar (yet), unless you are familiar with the band, The Doors. In Los Angeles, January 4th was proclaimed “Day of The Doors,” to celebrate and remember the impact they made on rock music. If we can honor The Doors, why not honor doors themselves since they are the most used moving part in every building and deserve recognition too?

In commercial buildings, a door isn’t just a slab of material that swings open and shut. It is a full system that is often referred to as an opening that manages access, protects people, and helps a business run smoothly. One of the easiest things to overlook is that doors have an impact on almost everyone. If an opening is effective, then it reduces risk and helps keep people safe. If an opening is ineffective, it can fail at any given moment, causing an emergency or a maintenance issue.

At Anderson Lock, doors aren’t “just doors.” We have built our business on opening doors and security futures. Our business can help with project support by reading blueprints, fabrication, supplying custom doors, installation, and ongoing service as needed. If “The Day of the Doors” had a headquarters, it would be our Door Division in Elk Grove. It is a 67,000 square-foot warehouse for all of our commercial door supply and custom fabrication needs. Our goal is simple: security, safety, and consistency.

Mark January 4th on your calendar, and join us in celebrating the doors that protect people, secure buildings, and keep businesses moving.
