Commercial pedestrian doors help define the flow of people entering and exiting a building, enhance security, and ensure safety. From high-traffic office entrances to secure storage facilities, having the right door systems can make all the difference in each of those factors. These days, businesses need doors that not only meet functional demands but also align with modern standards for accessibility, safety, and security.
The expert team at Union Door specializes in providing innovative door solutions that transform how commercial buildings operate, ensuring that every entryway is as efficient and secure as possible. Here are four innovative door systems every modern commercial building should invest in.
1. ADA Accessible Openings
Ensuring that commercial buildings are accessible to everyone is more than just a legal requirement—it's a commitment to inclusivity. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards require that all public spaces provide barrier-free access, and Union Door’s ADA-compliant system upgrades make this process seamless. We offer door systems are designed with accessibility in mind, featuring widened doorways, low-threshold entries, and easy-to-use automatic options, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can enter and navigate spaces comfortably.
Union Door offers ADA systems that go beyond compliance by incorporating advanced features like touchless and wireless access controls, making it even easier for users to enter without physical contact. We offer a range of high and low-energy systems, suitable for sliding and swinging doors, that enhance the user experience while maintaining the aesthetic and functional needs of the building.
2. Fire Rated Doors
Fire-rated doors are a critical element in any commercial building’s safety plan. These doors are designed to contain and slow the spread of fire, protecting occupants and minimizing property damage. At Union Door, we provide high-quality fire-rated doors that meet rigorous safety standards while seamlessly blending into the aesthetic of your space. Whether it's an office building, industrial facility, or retail store, fire-rated doors help create safe evacuation paths and compartmentalize fire hazards, giving occupants precious time to escape in an emergency.
Union Door offers a comprehensive range of fire-rated door solutions, including repairs and replacements to ensure doors remain functional at all times. Our services extend to system integration and control wiring, making sure fire doors are properly integrated with the building's life safety systems. With an in-house CFDAI-certified fire inspector, we provide annual testing and inspections to guarantee compliance, ensuring your building remains protected and up-to-code year-round.
3. Rolling Doors
Rolling doors are an ideal solution for commercial buildings that need durable, high or low cycle, secure access points. Whether it's for warehouses, parking garages, loading docks, or storefronts, rolling doors provide excellent security without compromising aesthetics. These doors roll up neatly above the entrance, maximizing the allowable headroom while offering superior protection against unauthorized access, weather conditions, and even fire when needed.
Union Door offers a whole host of rolling door systems that are custom-designed to meet the unique needs of each facility. Whether you're looking for enhanced interior security or sturdy exterior protection, we offer specialty door systems that include motor operators, access controls, and even fire-rated rolling doors for applications that require it. Our rolling door solutions can be integrated with existing access control systems, ensuring seamless functionality and ease of use. As with all our door products, we provide full-service repairs, maintenance and replacements if ever necessary to keep your doors operating smoothly, whether they’re protecting a warehouse, parking garage, or retail storefront. With Union Door’s expertise, your commercial property can achieve optimal security and efficiency.

Riot glass security glass offers a robust solution for enhancing the safety and security of your building’s entry points.
