Security is one of the foremost concerns for business owners. Upgrading your pedestrian doors to new technology with advanced security features is a simple way to strengthen your facility’s security strategy. Many security features are available for both hollow metal doors and automatic swing/slide doors, including reinforced frames, impact-resistant glass, and durable locking mechanisms. 

Reinforced Frames

A pedestrian door performs only as well as the frame supporting it. Modern reinforced frames elevate your first line of defense. High‑performing doors are engineered with high-quality, reinforced frames that resist forced entry attempts. Pedestrian doors, such as hollow metal doors, are constructed of durable materials such as steel or aluminum, giving them the strength they need to maintain security. 

Impact-resistant Glass

Along with a strong, durable frame, a secure pedestrian door requires impact-resistant glass. Modern impact-resistant glass is engineered with multiple reinforced layers that hold together even when broken. Compared to standard glass, which will break into sharp shards when smashed, impact-resistant glass provides exceptional security and safety. It holds together under pressure to deter break‑ins. These systems make forced entry significantly more difficult, protecting your people, assets, and operations.

Tamper-resistant Design

Modern pedestrian doors are designed to resist tampering, thwarting unauthorized entry attempts. Engineered for high‑stakes environments, these systems apply more than 600 pounds. of holding force for secure and reliable operation. Additionally, automatic sliding pedestrian doors are built with anti-sway technology, which minimizes gaps and makes it extremely difficult to bypass the door. Whether you’re managing a department store looking to boost overnight security or a government building with stringent security requirements, these designs provide a crucial boost.

High-quality Locks

A robust lock is a crucial part of your defence against unwanted intrusion. Upgrading to high‑grade lock hardware provides lasting security performance in demanding commercial conditions.

Locks for pedestrian doors are classified based on their quality and security from grade 1 (the strongest) to grade 3 (the lightest):

• Grade 1: the strongest and most durable locks available, rated for public buildings, education and healthcare facilities, and other large‑capacity buildings.
• Grade 2: mid‑range locks rated for medium‑traffic entry points and exterior access points, as well as interior doors that require added security.
• Grade 3: the most moderate grade of lock, best suited for light commercial applications such as supply closets, employee break rooms, and other areas that don’t require high levels of security

Fire-rated Protection

There is more to security than just preventing break-ins. It’s also about protecting people and property in emergencies. Commercial building codes demand fire‑rated protection. Modern doors are rigorously tested for performance in extreme heat and fire. Won-Door FireGuard doors from Creative Door Services are one of many from our extensive catalogue of innovative, high‑performing brands.

Thanks to exceptional custom engineering and the latest fire and security technology, their doors are fire‑rated for up to 180 minutes. They help contain fire outbreaks and prevent the spread of smoke and toxic fumes, giving occupants a much greater chance of safe evacuation during an emergency.

Smart Door Technology

Today’s pedestrian doors can integrate advanced smart technology to elevate security and oversight. Many pedestrian doors serve as access points to important or restricted areas. These systems can be configured to align with your facility’s unique security protocols, including state-of-the-art access control systems that allow you to send open, close, lock, and unlock signals remotely for greater visibility into door status across your facility. Multiple doors can be controlled from a central command centre or security office. 

Smart door technology also offers real-time monitoring, giving you the ability to see all the connected doors in your facility at the same time. Your security staff can respond much more swiftly to security events by tracking door activity remotely and seeing breaches as they happen.
