Commercial system
System overview
The door is part of the opening
An aluminum entrance is the door, frame, threshold, sidelites, transom, and hardware that people actually use. Capital Glass coordinates that assembly with the storefront or wall around it and with the traffic the opening has to handle.
Door size, swing, hardware, threshold, and the surrounding frame are reviewed together. A door schedule or a hardware set is useful when the project has one. Capital Glass does not treat the entrance as a separate catalog item from the glazing around it.
- 01
- Traffic and function Review who uses the door, how often, and whether the opening is a main entrance, a vestibule, or an interior door.
- 02
- Hardware and threshold Coordinate closers, pivots, panic or access hardware, pulls, and the threshold with the door and frame.
- 03
- The surrounding system Match the entrance to the storefront, interior frame, or wall it sits in, including glass, finish, and perimeter conditions.
