Commercial Double Entry Door Glass Replacement
Project Overview
This project involved replacing damaged glass panels in a commercial double entry door system. The work restored safety, visibility, and functionality at a main building entrance while maintaining the existing aluminum door frames and hardware.
Analysis
The existing glass panels in the double entry doors were cracked and temporarily secured, posing a safety and liability concern. Because the doors serve as a primary entrance, the replacement required precise fitting to ensure proper door alignment, smooth operation, and secure seating of the new glass. Maintaining consistent appearance across both door panels was important for a clean, professional exterior presentation.
Process
- Assessed cracked glass in double entry doors - Removed existing damaged glass panels - Prepared frames for new glazing - Installed replacement glass panels securely - Checked alignment, door swing, and hardware operation - Final inspection and cleanup
Outcome
The commercial entry doors are now restored with clean, secure glass panels that improve safety and appearance. The doors operate smoothly, and the entrance presents a professional, well-maintained look suitable for a high-traffic building.
