DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL DOOR HARDWARE AND RESIDENTIAL DOOR HARDWARE
Commercial door hardware and residential door hardware differ in several aspects.
-
Design and durability: Commercial door hardware is designed to withstand heavy usage and provide enhanced security. It is typically built with durable materials like stainless steel or heavy-duty alloys. In contrast, residential door hardware is often designed with aesthetics in mind and may not be as robust.
-
Security features: Commercial door hardware is equipped with advanced security features such as high-security locks, access control systems, and panic hardware to meet the specific security requirements of commercial spaces. Residential door hardware generally focuses more on convenience and may include features like keyless entry or smart locks.
-
Building codes and regulations: Commercial door hardware must comply with specific building codes and regulations, including fire safety requirements, accessibility guidelines, and egress regulations. Residential door hardware is subject to fewer stringent regulations in comparison.
-
Scale and functionality: Commercial door hardware is designed to handle larger and heavier doors, often found in commercial buildings, warehouses, or industrial settings. It offers functionality like door closers, automatic operators, and heavy-duty hinges to accommodate the high traffic volume. Residential door hardware is typically used for smaller, lighter doors found in homes, apartments, or condominiums.
Overall, commercial door hardware prioritizes durability, security, and compliance with regulations, while residential door hardware focuses more on aesthetics, convenience, and compatibility with residential settings.
HOW TO CHOOSE PROPER COMMERCIAL DOOR HARDWARE?
Choosing the right commercial door hardware involves considering several key factors. First, assess your specific security needs and the level of protection required for your commercial space. Consider factors such as the type of door, the level of traffic, and the desired functionality (e.g., keyless entry, access control). Evaluate the durability and reliability of the hardware, ensuring it meets industry standards. The way a door opens has a significant impact on various aspects, including the room's aesthetics, the distribution of light and air, privacy, and furniture arrangement. Although it may seem straightforward, determining the door swing requires thoughtful consideration and client consultation to assess its potential effects fully. To assist in making informed decisions, a door handing chart can be a valuable tool in this process.
Additionally, consider factors like compatibility with your existing systems, ease of installation and maintenance, and the reputation and expertise of the manufacturer or supplier also matter. Finally, take into account the affordability of the door hardware. Does the pricing align with your client's budget? Also, knowing the appropriate maintenance and care required for the hardware is essential. This knowledge can be shared with the client, considering factors such as usage frequency and potential damage to ensure proper upkeep and longevity.
Conduct thorough research, seek expert advice, and make an informed decision based on your unique requirements. Connect with Lock & Door Works for more information regarding commercial door hardware in Edmonton.
