Key Features of a Commercial Office Door Package
A high-traffic office building door has to look premium while handling carts, frequent latching, access control cycles, and daily cleaning.
Coordinated door and frame engineering
Euwoo builds coordinated door-and-frame packages that match your opening size, handing, and wall condition. Choose welded or knock-down frames, drywall or masonry profiles, and anchoring methods that match the substrate.
- Consistent clearances
- Reduced site rework
- Opening-by-opening matrix
Performance options by opening type
We offer configurable cores, seals, and reinforcements so you can tune performance by opening type. For fire and smoke separation, acoustic privacy, or exterior exposure.
- Fire/smoke separation options
- Acoustic gasketing
- Insulated exterior configs
Hardware and access control readiness
We prep for common hinge patterns, locksets, closers, panic devices, and coordinators. For access control, we support electric strike and maglock preparations, wire raceways, and power-transfer needs.
- Electric strike prep
- Wire raceways
- Hardware coordination
Finishes that stay professional in service
Euwoo offers durable powder coating systems for consistent color matching across batches, plus primer-only options for field finishing. We can coordinate color standards, surface texture, and edge detailing.
- Powder coating color match
- Chemical resistant
- Stainless steel options
Manufacturing control that reduces site rework
We control key tolerances that affect swing and latching: leaf flatness, edge straightness, hinge alignment, and frame squareness. Before packing, each set is inspected for fit-up between leaf and frame, prep completeness, and surface condition.
Specifications and Options
Common specification ranges for commercial steel doors and frames used in office projects.
| Parameter | Value / Options |
|---|---|
| Door construction | Single-leaf or double-leaf; flush hollow metal; vision panel and louver options |
| Door leaf thickness | 45-70 mm typical; custom thickness available |
| Door skin material | Hot-dip galvanized steel (standard); stainless steel optional |
| Steel skin thickness | 0.8-1.5 mm typical (by opening and specification) |
| Frame steel thickness | 1.2-2.0 mm typical; heavier options for high-abuse openings |
| Core options | Honeycomb, mineral wool, polyurethane, or project-specific composite cores |
| Frame types | Welded or knock-down; drywall, masonry, slip-on, and adjustable profiles |
| Fire and smoke options | Non-rated or labeled assemblies when required; sealing interfaces and compatible prep |
| Acoustic options | Perimeter gasketing, automatic bottoms, and higher-mass cores |
| Thermal and weather options | Insulated cores, thresholds, sweeps, and drip edges for exterior openings |
| Hardware prep | Hinges, locksets, closers, panic devices, coordinators, strikes (per schedule) |
| Electrified hardware prep | Wire raceways and preparation for electric strike/maglock (per access control plan) |
| Finish systems | Powder coating color matching, primer-only, or stainless brushed finish |
| Accessories | Kick plates, armor plates, thresholds, door bottoms, weatherstripping |
| Export packing | Protected faces and edges, labeled sets, palletized packing for sea freight |
Important Notes:
- • Fire-rated performance depends on the complete assembly (leaf, frame, hardware, seals, glazing) and applicable testing/labeling requirements.
- • Acoustic performance depends on construction, seals, undercut, and installation quality.
- • Provide wall type, frame depth, hardware schedule, and finish requirements for accurate quotation.
Compare Common Door System Choices
Different office openings call for different door systems. Use this comparison to select the right base material.
| Attribute | Steel door and frame | Commercial wood door | Aluminum/glass door system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | High-traffic corridors, back-of-house, rated separations, long-life assets | Warm aesthetics for interiors with controlled traffic | Lobbies and storefront-style entries needing visibility |
| Durability | Very high impact resistance; consistent alignment | Moderate; can dent or chip depending on veneer and core | Moderate; glass requires protection and careful handling |
| Fire/smoke potential | Common choice for labeled assemblies | Possible with specialized constructions; often higher cost | Limited and highly system-dependent |
| Acoustic privacy | High when paired with dense core and sealing | Good with solid core and sealing | Usually lower without specialized acoustic systems |
| Access control | Straightforward prep and reinforcement options | Possible but needs careful reinforcement planning | Often requires system-specific hardware and wiring routes |
| Maintenance | Low; repainting or touch-up is straightforward | Needs care to protect veneer and edges | Cleaning and glass replacement considerations |
| Relative cost | Strong value for performance and service life | Mid to high depending on veneer and rating | Mid to high depending on system and glazing |
Pro Tip: Many projects standardize steel on corridors and service areas, then use wood or glass selectively for tenant-facing aesthetics.

Common Office Building Applications
Office projects typically include a mix of tenant-facing openings and high-abuse service openings.
Tenant suite entries and reception zones
Tenant fit-outs need a professional look plus reliable operation under constant traffic and access control. A coordinated steel leaf and frame helps keep reveals consistent across multiple suites, while reinforced lock and closer preparation supports frequent cycles without sag. Vision lites can be added for safety and wayfinding, and custom colors help align with building brand standards.
Corridors and cross-corridor separations
Corridor openings are often code-driven and high-abuse: carts, cleaning equipment, and heavy daily use. Specify heavier-gauge construction, reinforcement at hinges and closers, and edge details that resist dents and chipping. Where fire or smoke separation is required, plan the complete assembly early so hardware prep, seals, and frame details align with the labeling program and the AHJ expectations.
Stairwells, service rooms, and perimeter openings
Back-of-house openings need reliability and protection, not just aesthetics. For stair enclosures and service rooms, prioritize robust frames, closer reinforcements, and durable finishes. Perimeter doors benefit from insulated cores, thresholds, sweeps, and weather-resistant detailing. For IT and electrical rooms, consider louver options for ventilation and coordination with access control hardware.
Quality Control and Compliance Support
B2B door supply is about predictability: consistent fit-up, reliable finishing, and clear documentation for inspections.
Inspection Focus Areas
- Steel and reinforcement verification before fabrication
- Cutting, punching, and welding checks for alignment
- Hardware prep completeness and position verification
- Surface preparation before finishing
- Finish inspection for appearance and adhesion
- Final fit-up check between leaf and frame
Documentation Provided
- Confirmation drawings and opening-by-opening matrix
- Packing list and shipping marks
- Inspection checklist and batch identification
- Finish information and color standard reference
- Accessory list to support site inventory
Certification Support
Note: Certification, labeling, and documentation depend on the exact configuration and destination requirements. Share the target standard and AHJ expectations early so engineering and paperwork can align.
Installation Guidance
Proper installation is essential for smooth swing, secure latching, and performance of seals.
Confirm opening conditions
Verify rough opening dimensions, plumb, and wall type. Confirm finished floor elevation, threshold details, and swing/handing before setting frames.
Set the frame plumb and square
Brace the frame, check hinge jamb plumb, head level, and diagonal measurements for squareness. Use shims where required.
Anchor to substrate
Use the specified anchors for the wall type. Tighten gradually to avoid twisting the frame. Follow curing guidance if grout is used.
Install hinges and hang the leaf
Mount hinges to prepared reinforcements, then hang the leaf and check clearances on all sides. Adjust as needed.
Install hardware and seals
Install lockset, closer, and any coordinators per the hardware schedule. Fit perimeter seals, sweeps, and automatic bottoms.
Commission and protect
Cycle the opening, adjust closer speed and latch, and confirm access control wiring. Remove protective film after construction.
