When making improvements on your business, it can be easy to overlook the door you walk in through every day. The front door of your business provides a first impression and during hours out of office, provides protection from the outside world. Did you also know that there are government mandated requirements of doors for business as well? Read our blog on why and when you should replace your front door!

Government Regulations

During the 1990’s, Congress passed the American Disability Act. What this act was created for was to guarantee access to all in commercial or public places. Building owners need to be sure their doors are accessible for those in need of a wheelchair in addition to mandated standards regarding door handles and guardrails. We at Secure Lock & Alarm have familiarized ourselves with the American Disability Act to ensure we install all ADA compliant doors and hardware for our clients.

When to replace your door

If your door is not up to standard with the American Disability Act, then it is certain you need to replace your door. Fines for not being ADA compliant can range anywhere from $55,000 to $150,000! For a business of any size, that is a fine that can truly disrupt normal business operations. If you have questions on whether your door is ADA compliant, give us a call today!

Aside from being ADA compliant, as mentioned earlier, your door can be the first impression of your business to potential customers. If your door has seen better days, it may be time for a new door altogether. In addition to a first impression, businesses need to make sure the door itself can do its job in the case of a break in. If your door needs an upgrade due to it being a security risk, give us a call today! We partner with a number of top-quality door manufactures in addition to a number of lock manufacturers. Installing secure, aesthetically pleasing doors is something we take pride in here at Secure Lock & Alarm.
