Common Problems with Steel and Hollow Metal Doors

Different commercial steel doors and hollow metal doors range from Fire Rated Doors Scarborough to industrial application doors that get opened using a fork lift, pallet jack or cart.

The condition of the building and its structural integrity are essential factors in the operational life of the doors. The doors should swing without external resistance. If there are some structural changes to the building, the hollow metal door does not agree anymore with its opening space and should be replaced.

Deformation

The weather conditions are also an important factor. The majority of exterior hollow metal doors are used for spare exit. Usually, there is no cover structure or awning over these doors. In addition, hollow metal doors are painted a dark colour that absorbs heat. Summer temperature causes the hollow metal doors to become warped due to the heat. Over the time, these effects cause the door to become bowed along the edge requiring it to be replaced.

Traffic
The amount of traffic through the steel and hollow metal doors also impact their operational life. High traffic is a cause of wear on the door, hinges, jambs, closers, and locks.

Besides the amount of traffic, the age group of those who use the doors should also be taken into consideration as there can be more wear and tear with the younger demographic.

Alley and dock doors or any door that can come in contact with a cart or hand truck similarly could be easily damaged by operational traffic.

Gaps
If the gaps are larger or uneven, this can indicate a structure or installation problem. A larger gap can allow air to infiltrate.

Inability to Open or Close
The most common complaint from the end user is the inability of the steel door or hollow metal doors to open or close easily. Actually, the cause of this problem can include more than one problem.
