Commercial Lever Sets and Knobs

Not all doors are used the same which is why choosing between commercial lever sets or knobs is one of the first decisions you should make when choosing commercial door hardware. Valuable money and time can be saved in your property by choosing the right option from the start. 

Ease-of-use is the primary reason that levers are popular in commercial applications, as you’re able to manage them even if your hands are full. Your level handles are also less likely to build up grime and stains compared to doorknobs. That is why we recommend them for main entry ways and any areas with high foot traffic. 

Normally, doorknobs are reserved for lower foot traffic areas and are primarily chosen for aesthetic reasons. Give off a more traditional or luxury feel by adding these to executive offices or welcome areas for your guests. 

Deadbolts

Deadbolts are considered the most secure type of door locks and are a must-have for any commercial setting. Unlike spring locks, these are difficult to pry open. When the key is turned, the bolt is moved into the opening with no way for anyone to force it out of position 

Some of the common types of deadbolt locking mechanisms include:

· Classroom locks: In this case, the deadbolts are unlocked through easy-to-use thumb turn cylinders. 

· Exit-only locks: In this type of deadbolt, no external cylinder is present. No one can enter from the exit door.

· Push-button lock: Depending on your door hardware requirements, this type of deadbolt may be mechanical or electrical.

Hydraulic Door Closers

Hydraulic door closers are pretty common. They will automatically close doors once opened through a powerful spring inside the closer. It expands as you open the door then compresses or tightens when the door is released, pulling the door shot. 

They are excellent for maintaining the room’s internal temperature without letting the outside air enter. Moreover, they are widely used in fire prevention. Another bonus benefit of these door closers is that they close the door without noise, as the spring mechanism keeps the door from slamming shut. 

Typically, hydraulic door closers are mounted on the surface because that’s the cheapest and easiest way to install them. But to preserve the aesthetics of your door hardware, they can also be concealed within the doors.

Panic Devices and Exit Devices

Panic exit devices or push bars are mainly installed on emergency exit doors. The primary purpose is to have commercial door hardware in place that is intuitive enough for anyone to use during a panic situation. These should have a push bar across the door that releases the latch as soon as pressure is applied to it for easy and quick egress.
