Residential & Commercial Aluminum Door Installation & Repair
Code-Compliant Metal Doors for Commercial, and Muti-Tennant Buildings in New York City, Westchester & Northern New Jersey
Are Aluminum Doors Good for Commercial Buildings in NYC?
Yes. Commercial aluminum doors are widely used in NYC storefronts, office buildings, and multi-tenant properties because they are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, durable, and compatible with modern security hardware like panic bars and access control systems.
When properly installed, they can meet NYC commercial building and egress requirements while offering a clean, modern appearance.
Costs vary depending on door size, glass configuration, hardware, and code requirements.

Types of Aluminum Doors We Install
Not all aluminum doors are the same. The right choice depends on traffic level, security needs, and building layout.
Aluminum Storefront Doors
These are commonly used in retail and office environments.
They are designed to integrate with glass storefront framing systems and can support:
- Narrow or wide stile profiles
- Insulated glass panels
- ADA-compliant hardware
- Panic bars and closers
These are ideal for high-visibility commercial entrances.
Heavy-Duty Aluminum Entrance Doors
For buildings with heavy daily traffic, we install reinforced aluminum doors built to withstand constant opening and closing.
These are often used in:
- Office towers
- Medical buildings
- Large apartment complexes
They offer added structural strength while maintaining a clean, modern appearance.
Access-Control Ready Aluminum Doors
Many commercial and multi-tenant buildings today require:
- Keycard access
- Fob systems
- Intercom integration
- Magnetic locks
- Electric strikes
Aluminum doors are compatible with modern access control systems, and we regularly integrate them with intercom and security upgrades.
Aluminum vs Steel Doors for Storefronts in NYC
Property managers often ask which is better: aluminum or steel?
Aluminum doors are ideal for:
- Storefronts
- High-visibility entrances
- Glass-heavy designs
- Lower maintenance environments
Steel doors are often better for:
- Back-of-house entrances
- Service corridors
- Higher-impact security needs
Aluminum does not rust like untreated steel, which makes it a strong choice in NYC’s varied climate. However, security needs should always guide the final decision.
We help clients evaluate both options before installation.
NYC Building Code & Compliance Considerations
Commercial doors in NYC are not just about installation. They must meet safety and accessibility requirements.
Depending on the building type, aluminum doors may need to comply with:
- ADA accessibility standards
- Egress requirements
- Proper closer and panic hardware installation
- Safety glazing requirements
- Building occupancy classifications
We install doors with compliance in mind and ensure that hardware, width, and operation meet commercial building expectations.
If your building is undergoing renovation or inspection, we can evaluate the door system and recommend compliant upgrades.
Energy Efficiency & Weather Performance
Modern aluminum doors can include:
- Thermal breaks
- Insulated glass
- Weather stripping
- Sealed frames
These features help reduce drafts and improve comfort in commercial spaces.
For multi-tenant residential properties, this can make a noticeable difference in lobby temperature control and long-term energy use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do commercial aluminum doors last?
When properly installed and maintained, aluminum doors can last decades. They resist corrosion and do not warp or swell like wood.
Are aluminum storefront doors secure?
Yes, especially when paired with proper locking hardware, panic bars, and access control systems. Security depends more on hardware and installation quality than material alone.
Are aluminum doors compliant with NYC building codes?
They can be, when installed with proper hardware and in accordance with occupancy and egress requirements. We install with compliance in mind.
Can aluminum doors support access control systems?
Yes. Aluminum doors are commonly integrated with electric strikes, mag locks, keycard systems, and intercom-controlled entry.
What is better for storefronts, aluminum or steel?
Aluminum is typically preferred for storefront entrances due to appearance and corrosion resistance. Steel is often used for back-of-house or higher-security areas.
How Much Does It Cost to Install or Replace a Commercial Aluminum Door in NYC?
Costs vary depending on several factors:
• Door size and custom fabrication,
• Type of glass (standard, insulated, safety glazing)
• Hardware selection (closers, panic bars, access control)
• Frame condition
• Labor and removal of existing door
Basic storefront replacements typically cost less than custom heavy-duty installations with integrated access systems.
