Office buildings are busy environments with dozens or even hundreds of people passing through every day. With the needs of employees and visitors, deliveries and maintenance staff to consider, secure and reliable access solutions for office buildings require serious consideration. 

From pedestrian doors at the entrance to fire doors at key points, you can customize your office’s access solutions to suit the specific needs and layout of your building to support safety, security, and productivity.

Pedestrian Doors

Pedestrian doors don’t refer to just the front entrance of your building, they encompass all the ways in which people move in and out of your building. This includes:

• back doors
• fire escapes
• emergency exits
• staff entrances
• customer entrances
• and more

With so many access points, choosing the right door for each location is critical. Pedestrian doors come in a wide range of styles, such as hollow doors, which provide levels of insulation, sound-dampening, and fire protection, along with automatic doors that improve your accessibility, ensuring everyone can enter your building without difficulty. The right combination of doors allows you to balance function, regulation compliance, and convenience throughout your building.

Parking Gates and High-Performance Parking Doors

Access to your property that’s both secure and reliable is a critical part of any building plan. If your office building requires a gate that allows cars and delivery vehicles to move fluidly with little hindrance while still keeping your parking levels safe, high-performance parking doors offer the perfect solution. Engineered for the demands of busy environments, these doors provide seamless action and superior speed. Made of high-quality materials, they help improve the energy efficiency of even the busiest of parking areas.

If your office building doesn’t require a fully shuttered parking lot but still want a safeguard, high-quality commercial parking gates offer increased security and efficiency while also allowing you to control who has access to parking facilities on your property. Made of metals like aluminum, steel, and wrought iron and available in a wide variety of models and opening styles, parking gates suit the needs of most office buildings regardless of size. Want a staff parking that they feel safe in? Secure parking for potential clients? You can achieve it with parking gates.

Fire Doors and Security Doors

Fire doors are a vital safety component of any office building. Their ability to prevent the spread of smoke and withstand heat for anywhere from 30 minutes up to four hours is a crucial part of protecting occupants of your building and helping them evacuate in the event of a fire. 

Modern fire and security doors are equipped with high-tech sensors and automation to go along with their durable construction. Features such as smoke detectors, alert systems, and temperature-activated locks can buy occupants critical minutes if a fire does break out. To maximize security and safety, Creative Door Services can customize your fire doors with those additional features to match your building’s needs.

Loading Dock Doors

Many office buildings rely on a loading bay or delivery area to receive essential supplies and equipment. For maximum security and energy efficiency, your loading dock should be equipped with a high-quality loading dock door. 

Loading dock doors are typically made of aluminum or steel and are available in a variety of options and styles; from thermal insulation and glazing to impact resistance and an array of safety features, these doors can be outfitted and customized to maintain security, improve energy efficiency, and ensure smooth operation at the loading dock. 

You can even select from a variety of panel styles, colours, and finishes too, allowing you to match the look of your door to the style and architecture of your building.

Shutters

Shutters are a convenient security feature for cafeterias, customer service counters, box offices, and storage space. Almost imperceptible when rolled up during business hours due to their compact design, they protect against theft and authorized access when rolled down at closing time.

Industrial-quality shutters are perfect for light commercial applications. They’re secure, hassle-free to operate, and extremely versatile. They’re customizable to fit nearly any need and are available in steel, aluminum, and even wood, allowing you to choose the shutter that complements your space best. 

Soundproof Doors

The enemy of productivity is distraction. If your employees have to work in a loud environment, it can easily distract them and make it more difficult for them to work at the pace you know they’re capable of. Whether it’s construction, traffic on a nearby street, or noisy neighbours, excess noise in the workplace can create a less-than-ideal environment.

Soundproof doors are the solution you need! Products such as the Won-Door Durasound provide top-notch sound attenuation. They’re used in many places where concentration and lack of distraction are a must such as schools, theatres, and hospitals, making them perfect for your office building too. They’re extremely durable and long-lasting, providing robust security on top of the sound dampening needed to keep your workplace productive. 

Access Control

Security is a priority for every office manager. Whether you run a large, multi-floor company or a small one with only a handful of employees at your disposal, the thought of someone gaining unauthorized access to your facility is a concerning one.

Commercial access control systems can help you manage who can enter your building. Using credentials like cards, keypads, biometric data, or other authentication methods, you can exert much greater control over your security, controlling access points while keeping records of who comes and goes.

Good access control systems should have the same basic features:

• A control panel
• Door readers
• Credentials
• Lock hardware
• Management software

Together, these components work to give you greater confidence in your office building’s security. 

For even more protection, you can add another layer to your security by integrating your access control solutions into your existing systems, such as intrusion alarms, CCTV surveillance cameras, and fire safety systems.
