How to Find Local Security Door Companies
To find a security door installer, first decide if the job is residential or commercial. A strong door also depends on its frame and hardware, so get the full specification in writing.
| Consider | Residential | Commercial |
|---|---|---|
| Who is involved | Homeowner, possibly an HOA | Owner, landlord, building or fire officials |
| Door and frame | Does the existing frame support the door? | Rated assemblies may need matching frames |
| Hardware | Locks, hinges, strike plates | Panic hardware, closers, access control |
| Installation | Often a single visit | May need permits and inspection |
| Maintenance | Periodic hinges and locks | Scheduled checks, recorded |
Door ratings and materials
What to get in writing
- Door make, model, material, and thickness
- Frame work: reused, reinforced, or replaced
- Lock, hinge, and strike plate specifications
- Any fire rating, with documentation
- Who pulls permits, if needed
- Warranty on product and on labor
Finding an installer
Search with your city's name, since “near me” results vary by location. Check your state's contractor license board, ask to see completed jobs like yours, and confirm that they measure on site before quoting. For access-controlled doors in a business, see security integrators.
