Improving Campus Security
Security is one of the biggest concerns facing today’s schools. Modern commercial door systems play a critical role in protecting students while allowing staff to move throughout campus efficiently.
We help schools improve security with:
- Electronic access control
- Classroom lock upgrades
- Electrified door hardware
- Restricted key systems
- Door position monitoring
- Secure exterior entrances
- Lockdown-capable hardware
- High-security commercial locks
Many schools also upgrade aging doors that no longer latch properly or meet current life safety requirements. Our Access Control Systems, Electrified Door Hardware, and Commercial Locksmith Services can all be integrated into existing campuses or new construction projects.
Why Businesses Trust CLAD
When you hire a commercial door contractor, you’re trusting them with more than a building entrance. Commercial doors, storefront systems, automatic operators, access control equipment, and fire-rated assemblies all play an important role in security, accessibility, life safety, and day-to-day business operations.
At CLAD, we believe clients deserve a contractor with the proper licensing, specialized training, industry certifications, and experience to perform the work correctly. Our commitment to professionalism, compliance, and quality workmanship has made us a trusted partner for property managers, facility directors, business owners, contractors, and organizations throughout Northern California.
Fire-Rated Doors for Schools
Fire-rated doors help compartmentalize buildings during emergencies and are required throughout many educational facilities.
Common locations include:
- Stairwells
- Mechanical rooms
- Electrical rooms
- Storage areas
- Corridors
- Kitchens
- Auditoriums
- Assembly spaces
Our Fire-Rated Door specialists repair and install code-compliant door assemblies that help schools satisfy life safety requirements while providing dependable daily operation. Many campuses also benefit from hollow metal doors, which offer excellent durability and fire-resistance in high-traffic environments.
ADA-Compliant School Doors
Schools must provide accessible entrances and interior doors for students, employees, and visitors with disabilities.
We install:
- Low-energy automatic operators
- Accessible door closers
- ADA-compliant hardware
- Accessible restroom doors
- Entrance accessibility upgrades
Our ADA Doors & Hardware and Automatic Door Systems help schools improve accessibility while maintaining security and durability.
Heavy-Duty Doors Built for High Traffic
Educational facilities experience some of the highest pedestrian traffic of any commercial building. Thousands of students move between classrooms every day, placing tremendous wear on doors, hinges, closers, and locking hardware.
That’s why many schools choose:
- Hollow Metal Doors
- Heavy-Duty Door Closers
- Continuous Hinges
- Surface Vertical Rod Exit Devices
- Commercial Panic Hardware
- Commercial-grade locksets
These products are designed to withstand years of daily use while minimizing maintenance costs.
Preventative Maintenance for School Campuses
Waiting until a classroom door won’t latch or an exit device fails can create unnecessary safety concerns and disrupt daily operations.
Preventative maintenance helps identify worn hardware before it becomes a larger problem.
Our maintenance services include:
- Door inspections
- Door closer adjustments
- Lock repairs
- Hinge replacement
- Panic hardware servicing
- Automatic door maintenance
- Weatherstripping replacement
- Fire door inspections
Many schools combine scheduled maintenance with our Commercial Door Repair program to keep campus doors operating safely throughout the year.
