Doors don’t just keep the elements out — they provide security for your people and property, and they aid in getting people out safely during an emergency. Perhaps just as importantly, they are the entryway to your building. They’re the portal through which you welcome your guests, members, employees, and customers. A door can say a lot about your organization, and with Anderson Lock’s total commercial door solutions, your doors will say all the right things.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Commercial Door Provider
Doors from a locksmith? That’s right. We realized decades ago that we could serve you better if we could provide total entryway solutions from hinge to latch and everything in between. Since then, we have become Chicagoland’s leading provider of architectural openings (that is, doors) and services.
Choosing the right commercial door solutions provider is an investment in your business’s future. The right doors contribute to your visitors’ overall experience, signal your organization’s values, and keep people safe whether they are inside or need to get out.
Of course, we know you have other options. When choosing a provider of door solutions, we recommend considering the following:
Selection
Make sure your provider can give you options so you can take advantage of both form and function. Think about materials, insulation, and quantity. If you have a specific desire, can they do custom work?
Availability
How long will it take to get your doors? We have our own warehouse, so we can get you many of our doors right away. We also have a robust supplier network and our own shop — if we can’t find it, we’ll make it ourselves!
Knowledge
A good commercial door provider will be able to guide you through the process of selecting the best doors for your building and your specific needs. They will be able to consider the necessary functionality as well as your aesthetic preferences.
Comprehensiveness
A lot more goes into a door than just a piece of wood or metal with a place for a handle and hinges. Are you getting just the doors, or can your provider help with everything else? Can they build out the frames? Can they source the hardware? Will they install it all for you? Do they have certified fire inspectors on staff, or will you need to find another party for that? Do they offer a maintenance service?
