Hollow Metal Doors
Built for Security and Longevity
Hollow metal doors provide robust security and reliability for commercial facilities. Davis Door Service installs galvanized steel door systems, specifically designed for demanding, high-traffic environments.
These doors effectively resist corrosion, forced entry and structural failure, contributing to consistent operational integrity.
Where Hollow Metal Doors Perform Well
Reliable metal doors are essential across diverse commercial applications. Every environment requires precision and efficiency from its entry systems:
- Office and retail: Main entrances, service areas and back exits maintain security and professional aesthetics through customizable finishes.
- Industrial operations: Manufacturing plants manage high-frequency access effectively, reducing the risk of warping or mechanical failure.
- Schools and universities: Classrooms, labs and storage rooms are equipped with robust protection where security is paramount.
- Healthcare settings: Hospitals use galvanized steel doors due to their corrosion resistance and cleanability, adhering to stringent hygiene protocols.
Fire-rated entry doors are vital for compartmentalizing buildings and protecting exit routes during emergencies. Davis Door Service installs fire-rated steel doors that meet NFPA 80 requirements for comprehensive commercial fire protection.

Specifications and Fire Ratings
Hollow metal systems offer versatile configurations that have been rigorously tested. These assemblies include:
- Hardware preparation: Structural reinforcement is designed to support hinges, lock sets, closers and access control integration.
- Fire ratings: Certified assemblies are designed to comply with building code requirements based on wall ratings and door locations.
- Glass and louvers: Vision panels and ventilation components are precisely integrated to balance visibility needs with security protocols.
- Finish options: Powder-coated, painted and galvanized surfaces provide greater protection against environmental exposure while matching architectural specifications.
Focus on Commercial Environments
Davis Door Service specializes exclusively in commercial door systems. Every technician understands operational continuity requirements for business environments.

In-house fabrication helps mitigate supply chain delays for specialized projects. Properly maintained hollow metal doors can provide 20-30 years of service in commercial installations.
Fire Door Applications
Fire-rated assemblies serve critical life safety functions in commercial buildings. Ratings vary based on wall construction, occupancy type and door location within the facility:
- 45-minute ratings: These are typical for corridor doors and room separations in one-hour rated walls.
- 60-minute ratings: These are specified for shaft enclosures and exit passageways requiring elevated protection.
- 90-minute ratings: These are required for many interior exit stair or ramp applications.
Fire door assemblies include specialized hardware, seals and closing mechanisms tested as complete systems. Davis Door Service collaborates closely with facility managers and code officials to support adherence to strict jurisdictional requirements.
