Hollow Metal Doors

Hollow metal doors and frames are common components used in commercial and industrial construction for their durability, security, and fire-resistant properties. Here's an overview of each:

Hollow Metal Doors

These doors are typically made of a steel shell filled with a core material, which may be honeycomb or polystyrene. The construction gives them strength while maintaining a relatively lightweight design. Hollow metal doors are known for their robustness and resistance to impact, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. They can withstand harsh weather conditions and are less prone to warping or cracking compared to some other materials. These doors are often fire-rated, meaning they can withstand fire for a specified period, providing an added layer of safety in buildings. The strength of steel makes these doors a popular choice for security purposes. They are difficult to breach, providing enhanced security in commercial and industrial settings.

Metal Door Frames

Similar to the doors, metal door frames are usually made of steel, and they come in various profiles and designs to suit different installation requirements. The frames are installed in openings in the walls to provide support and proper alignment for the doors. They are typically anchored to the surrounding structure, ensuring stability. Like the doors, hollow metal frames can also be fire-rated to contribute to the overall fire resistance of a building. Hollow metal frames often include anchoring systems that allow them to be securely attached to the building structure. This ensures stability and resistance to forces such as wind loads.

Applications

Hollow metal doors and frames are commonly used in commercial buildings such as offices, schools, hospitals, and retail spaces. Due to their strength and durability, these components are also prevalent in industrial settings, including factories and warehouses. Government buildings, prisons, and other institutions often use hollow metal doors and frames.

Customization

Hollow metal doors and frames come in a variety of sizes and configurations to accommodate different architectural and functional requirements. Here at Door Controls USA we offer a variety of customization options to accommodate all job applications.
