This customer had a need to provide visibility and light into an existing room. Door 28 cut vision lite into an existing door. This vision light door conversion provided the visibility and lighting the customer desired. Additionally an added interior glass swinging door was installed to allow external natural lighting to penetrate into the interior hallway and into the newly converted vision light door.

Advantages of a vision light door installation:

Increase Natural Light
Vision light doors allow light from exterior sources to enter an otherwise dark space.

Allow a Space to Feel Larger
Vision light also helps an interior space feel “larger” by removing the perceived obstruction of a sold door. Rather than feeling “boxed in,” vision light doors promote a sense of openness and transparency in the workplace.

Compliance and Safety Standards
In certain commercial and public buildings, vision light doors may be required to comply with safety regulations, particularly in emergency exits and fire-rated doors.

Improved Safety
Because vision light panels are transparent, people can see who or what is on the other side of the door, reducing the risk of collisions, especially in high-traffic areas. Additionally, vision light provides a way to identify visitors before opening the door, enhancing security.

Energy Efficiency
The passage of natural light reduces the need for artificial electrical lighting during the day, potentially lowering energy costs.

Our Placerville customer is constructing a new warehouse. We installed a industrial fire door to separate areas of our customer’s building in case of fire. This fire door was installed during the new construction of a warehouse.

This Door28 customer, a country club in Roseville California, had existing wooden entry doors. The wooden doors were 30 years old and worn and damaged through many years of daily use. The doors were in need of replacement.

Dorr 28 recommended new glass aluminum doors to be retrofitted onto the existing wooden frame (many new buildings have aluminum frames).

This customer inherited an older Automatic Door with his new commercial building. At first look, it was clear the door had seen better days. Most parts on this door had been worn to non-operation, to use the door, it had to be manually open and closed. Door 28 technicians began by replacing parts such as rollers, motor, controls, portions of the damaged threshold and safety devices. The door came to life, however due to the age and worn structure it was clear the door would work for a limited time only.

This door lasted 2 years with repairs, allowing the customer to prepare for the cost of a new commercial door, as this can be a larger investment for a business, it can also provide a sigh of relief knowing that a new commercial door can save time and resources allowing the owner and employees to focus on their business.

Ready for a new door, the customer approved the replacement. Although we have been experiencing long lead times for most materials, the Automatic door arrived on-time. We removed the old door and installed the new commercial door. The customer immediately noticed how quietly the new automatic door was. It was so quiet you can barley hear it opening and closing. With all safety devices operational and adjusted to meet an AAADM Certification, this door is ready for commercial use and looking exceptionally good!

We were called out to look at an According Aluminum Security Door that simply fell from the opening. The customer mentioned this door was just installed and the contractor would not return their calls. Door 28 arrived and noticed the screw hardware was insufficient and too small to support a door of this size. Door 28 technicians were able to re-secure the door in place with the proper hardware. It is all too common lowest bid gets the job, however without the expertise of the industry these projects are completed with problems from the start. Sometimes lowest bid is not always a good idea as it can turnout to be a gamble. Best to just call the right experienced door company for the job, by doing so, you can save the possible damage to surrounding fixtures and areas when the project fails. Not only that, but you can also save the additional headache, it is already hard enough to manage or deal with a renovation or project. Call Door 28, Inc.

The perfect solution to a building with limited man door access, a Wicket Door. This door gives customers the option to not only have a roll up door but a man door within the roll up. One opening two functions. On this particular project the customer buildings were built in the early 1900’s which made this project a custom install. Changing the door from a sliding door to this beautiful wicket door, including motor operation to allow the customer to simply press a button to operate the door. With a button station on the wall, we also programmed remotes to the operator allowing forklift drivers to open and close the door while on the move

This customer was looking for a face lift on his main storefront entrance, Door 28 was there for the perfect solution. A new and modern storefront with glass aluminum doors equipped with concealed vertical locking rods. This project proved a complete transformation from old to new, just the way the customer wanted. The doors originally were offset in the opening with floor closers. Door 28 technicians not only centered the doors in the rough opening but back filled the old coffins that housed existing floor closers with concrete.

This is a new install of a Jamison Hi-Speed door, this door has solved ongoing issues for the customer. The customer was losing money every time the door opened due to the building being refrigerated, with an uptick in business the door was being used more and stay opening longer. Because the customer was using a standard sectional door with an operator, the door was wearing faster than expected, cables continued to pop off and the spring broke. All this costing more money for the business.

They reached out to us for a solution. Following service and an understanding of the customers needs, we quoted this high-speed door, the perfect solution for high activity areas and increased safety operation.

This customer had a scissor gate installed on the exterior of the building, with limited space, an inside normal application for a scissor gate was not feasible. With a hand full of break-in’s and attempts the gate was becoming harder and harder to open. They requested doors be installed rather than another gate. The install came out great.

This customer is being proactive to meet newer and local changes to regulations and requirements. They have tasked Door 28, Inc. with replacing the old square paddles used to activate a Low Energy Operator which opens the door.

We began by removing the old square paddles and installing a column paddle, the column paddles are not only compliant but also serve a purpose. These column paddles are designed to depressed anywhere from the top to the bottom of the paddle to activate the door.

We also installed a Wave technology paddle; these are way cool because it allows you to Wave your hand to open the door instead of touching it. An added safety measure to prevent the spread of viruses. We are seeing more and more touchless technology in the door industry.
