Common Problems with Steel and Hollow Metal Doors
Different commercial steel doors and hollow metal doors serve various purposes, from fire-rated doors to industrial application doors used with forklifts, pallet jacks, or carts.
The condition of the building and its structural integrity are crucial factors in the doors’ operational life. The doors should swing smoothly without encountering external resistance. If there are structural changes to the building, the hollow metal door may no longer fit properly in its opening space and require replacement.
Deformation
Weather conditions also play a significant role. Most exterior hollow metal doors serve as emergency exits and lack cover structures or awnings. Additionally, these doors are typically painted in dark colors that absorb heat. Over time, summer temperatures can cause the hollow metal doors to warp due to the heat. This warping along the edges necessitates door replacement.
Traffic
The amount of traffic passing through steel and hollow metal doors impacts their operational life. High traffic leads to wear on the door, hinges, jambs, closers, and locks.
In addition to traffic volume, the age group of door users should be considered, as younger demographics may cause more wear and tear.
Doors located in alleys, docks, or any areas prone to contact with carts or hand trucks are also susceptible to damage from operational traffic.
Gaps
Larger or uneven gaps indicate structural or installation problems. A larger gap can allow air infiltration.
Inability to Open or Close
The most common complaint from end-users is the difficulty in opening or closing steel doors or hollow metal doors. This issue can have multiple causes:
