Commercial Locksmith Solutions: Upgrading Exit Hardware

Ever had that moment of panic when your office building's front door refuses to unlock? Commercial doors take a beating, and when keys start sticking or the latch fails, your business security and employee safety are instantly compromised. If you’re dealing with a large aluminum storefront door, standard hardware just won't cut it.

Builder-Grade Hardware on High-Traffic Doors

In our latest video, we tackle a common issue with tall office doors. The original setup used Kawneer concealed vertical rod exit hardware. While Kawneer makes great aluminum doors, they are not dedicated exit hardware manufacturers.

The building was equipped with builder-grade hardware that simply couldn't handle the daily abuse. Over time, the internal mechanisms warped, causing the keys to get stuck and leaving the building vulnerable and frustrating to access.

Upgrading to Adams Rite 8600 Series

To restore total security and smooth operation, we replaced the failing system with the Adams Rite 8600 Series Concealed Vertical Rod Hardware.

Here is why this upgrade is a game-changer for commercial properties:

• BHMA Grade 1 Rated: This is the highest industry standard for quality and durability. It is specifically engineered and rigorously tested to withstand extreme, high-traffic commercial environments.

• Concealed Security: The vertical rods live inside the door, protecting them from tampering and maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic.

• Flawless Operation: No more sticking keys or jammed crash bars. Just smooth, reliable egress every single time.

Upgrading to commercial-grade hardware ensures your property remains secure after hours while guaranteeing a safe, code-compliant exit for your staff and clients during emergencies.
