Commercial Doors Built for Manufacturing Environments

Manufacturing facilities can place substantial demands on doors and hardware. Employees may pass through the same openings repeatedly throughout a shift, while maintenance personnel, contractors, and other authorized users may require access to different areas of the facility.

CLAD provides commercial door installation and repair for industrial and manufacturing properties. We service doors throughout production areas, employee entrances, administrative spaces, maintenance areas, utility rooms, and other parts of the facility.

Our technicians can repair or replace doors, frames, hinges, closers, locks, exit devices, and other components when normal wear or damage begins affecting an opening’s performance.

Our goal is to provide durable solutions that support the security, safety, and day-to-day operation of industrial facilities.

Hollow Metal Doors for Manufacturing Plants

Manufacturing facilities often need commercial doors that can withstand frequent use while providing security and durability. Hollow metal doors and frames are well suited to many industrial applications because they provide a strong commercial opening for interior and exterior areas of a facility.

CLAD installs, replaces, and repairs hollow metal doors and frames along with the hardware used with them. Depending on the application, a steel door opening may incorporate commercial locks, hinges, door closers, panic hardware, access control, or other specialized components.

For an aging or damaged opening, repairing individual components may be enough to restore reliable operation. When the door or frame is beyond practical repair, CLAD can provide replacement solutions appropriate for the facility.

Doors for Production and Manufacturing Areas

Doors throughout a manufacturing facility do more than separate rooms. They can help control movement between production areas, employee spaces, maintenance areas, offices, and restricted locations.

CLAD can help facility managers evaluate the hardware and security requirements of individual openings based on how each door is used. A frequently used employee entrance may require different hardware than a restricted maintenance room or an emergency exit.

By selecting commercial-grade hardware appropriate for each opening, facilities can improve reliability while avoiding the problems that can result from using hardware that is not suited to the door’s traffic or operating conditions.

Access Control for Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities

Manufacturing facilities often have areas that should only be accessible to authorized employees, contractors, or supervisors. Access control can provide a more flexible alternative to managing mechanical keys across multiple restricted openings.

CLAD installs commercial access control systems that can be configured around the security requirements of individual doors or larger facilities. Systems can use cards, key fobs, mobile credentials, keypads, and other credential technologies depending on the application.

We also install electrified door hardware, readers, controllers, electronic locking components, and other equipment needed to connect access control with the physical door.

For facilities with multiple departments or restricted areas, access control can make it easier to manage who is authorized to enter particular doors and modify permissions when personnel or responsibilities change.

Securing Employee and Restricted Entrances

Manufacturing plants commonly have a mixture of public, employee, contractor, and restricted entrances. Not every door needs the same level of security, and treating every opening identically can result in unnecessary expense or inadequate protection.

CLAD can provide commercial locks, restricted key systems, electronic locking hardware, access control, and other security solutions based on the function of each opening.

For facilities that need stronger separation between production areas and administrative or restricted spaces, properly selected locking hardware can help control access without interfering with normal employee movement.

Fire-Rated Doors and Emergency Exits

Industrial and manufacturing facilities may contain fire-rated openings and emergency exits that are important components of the building’s life-safety systems. These doors and their hardware need to remain functional and operate as intended.

CLAD provides fire-rated door installation and repair, along with service for door closers, hinges, panic hardware, latching hardware, and other commercial door components.

When a fire-rated opening develops a problem, addressing the affected door or hardware can help restore proper operation while avoiding unnecessary replacement of components that are still serviceable.

Durable Hardware for High-Use Openings

Some doors in manufacturing facilities may be used hundreds of times during a normal workday. Repeated cycles can eventually contribute to worn hinges, failing closers, loose hardware, misaligned doors, and other problems.

CLAD provides commercial door hardware installation, repair, and replacement for industrial properties. Our technicians can service door closers, hinges, locks, panic devices, and other components that keep commercial openings functioning.

Choosing hardware based on the door’s traffic, security requirements, and operating conditions can help improve reliability and reduce premature component failure.

Automatic Doors for Industrial Facilities

Some industrial facilities benefit from automatic or low-energy door operators, particularly at entrances that need to provide convenient access for employees, visitors, or people with mobility limitations.

CLAD installs and services automatic door systems for commercial properties. Automatic operators can provide hands-free or assisted operation while maintaining the security and functionality required of the opening.

Our technicians can also diagnose problems with existing automatic door systems and service components when an operator is no longer functioning properly.

ADA Accessibility in Manufacturing Facilities

Industrial properties still need to provide appropriate accessible routes and entrances for employees, visitors, and other building occupants. Door hardware and opening force can affect how easily people can enter and move through a facility.

CLAD provides ADA doors and hardware, including automatic operators and accessible door hardware designed to improve building accessibility.

When upgrading an existing entrance, we can help identify practical door and hardware improvements that support accessibility while maintaining the security and operational requirements of the facility.

Minimizing Manufacturing Downtime

A commercial door problem can be more than an inconvenience in an industrial facility. When an important employee entrance, restricted opening, or production-area door stops functioning properly, it can interfere with normal operations.

CLAD focuses on diagnosing the underlying problem and providing practical repairs or replacements rather than simply addressing the most obvious symptom.

Our technicians can service individual openings as needed or help identify recurring hardware problems that may benefit from preventative maintenance. Addressing worn components before they fail completely can help reduce unexpected interruptions and emergency repair needs.

Commercial Door Maintenance for Industrial Properties

Regular maintenance can be especially valuable in facilities where doors and hardware experience frequent use. Small problems such as loose hardware, doors that no longer close correctly, or worn closers can become larger failures when they are left unaddressed.

CLAD can inspect and service commercial door components including:

• Door closers
• Hinges
• Locks and latching hardware
• Panic bars and exit devices
• Hollow metal doors and frames
• Electrified door hardware
• Access control components
• Automatic door operators

Preventative maintenance can help extend the service life of commercial door systems and identify problems before they result in an unexpected failure.

Why Manufacturing Facilities Choose CLAD

Industrial facilities need commercial door contractors who understand that every opening has a job to perform. A production-area door may prioritize durability, while an employee entrance may require high-cycle hardware and access control. A restricted room may require stronger security, while an emergency exit must provide dependable egress.

CLAD specializes in commercial doors, door hardware, locksmith services, automatic doors, and access control rather than residential door work.
