Commercial doors endure years of constant use, but they serve a much greater purpose than simply providing entry. The right commercial door enhances security, improves energy efficiency, contains fire emergencies, and creates a lasting first impression for your business. Choosing the right door and the right installation team matters: properly installed doors are critical for both safety and code compliance.
Holman, Inc. specializes in commercial door, frame, and hardware installation for businesses and facilities of all sizes across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, including Jacksonville, Brunswick, Savannah, and the communities in between. Our team works with a wide range of commercial door types — from fire rated commercial doors and security commercial doors to specialty doors built for specific industries. Whether you are opening a new location, upgrading outdated doors, or replacing hardware that has seen better days, our team ensures precise, efficient, and code-compliant installation from start to finish.
We handle the details so you can focus on running your facility.

Not every facility has the same needs, and commercial door types vary widely in material, function, and application. Below is a breakdown of what we install and where each door type is most commonly used.
Exterior commercial doors are your building’s first line of defense against weather, unauthorized entry, and liability. They need to hold up under daily use, meet local building codes, and still look the part for whoever is walking through them.
Interior commercial doors manage traffic flow, control sound, protect assets, and in many cases carry their own code compliance requirements. The right interior door depends on what the space needs to do.
Semi-permanent walls that create flexible spaces in offices, hospitals, and hotels. Sliding and partition doors are particularly useful in facilities where room configurations need to change without the cost or disruption of permanent construction.
A commercial door installation is not just hanging a door. The frame, the hardware, the clearances, and the sequencing all affect whether the finished product holds up, operates correctly, and passes inspection. Here is how we approach it.
We start by evaluating the existing opening – or the planned opening in new construction – to confirm measurements, identify any framing or structural considerations, and match the right door type to the application. This is where overlooked details get caught before they become job site problems.
Once scope is confirmed, we specify the door, frame, and hardware based on the project requirements. We work with trusted commercial door suppliers, including ASSA ABLOY, to source materials that meet both performance and code requirements. Lead times on specialty doors vary, and we factor that into the project timeline from the start.
Proper installation starts with the frame. We ensure the rough opening is square, the frame is set correctly, and any required blocking or reinforcement is in place before the door goes in. Skipping this step is one of the most common reasons commercial doors fail prematurely.
With the frame set, we install the door, hang it to the correct clearances, and mount all commercial door hardware: hinges, closers, latches, strikes, and any access control components specified for the project. Every component is adjusted and tested before we consider the installation complete.
We walk through the finished installation with the facility contact or general contractor to confirm operation, review any code documentation required, and answer questions. You should not have to wonder whether the door is going to work. We’ll make sure of it before we leave the site.
Most commercial doors do not fail all at once. They give you signals first, and the facilities that catch those signals early avoid the costlier problem of a door that fails during business hours, fails an inspection, or stops closing correctly in a space where security or fire containment depends on it.
Here is what to watch for:
Visible damage to the door or frame. Dents, warping, and cracks in the door panel are cosmetic issues until they are not. A warped frame affects the seal, the latch alignment, and in fire rated assemblies, the door’s ability to perform as rated. If the frame is out of square, the door is already compromised.
Hardware that sticks, drags, or does not latch consistently. A commercial door closer that has lost tension, a latch that requires force to engage, or hinges that have shifted out of alignment are all signs the assembly is past routine adjustment. Commercial door hardware is built to last, but it has a service life, and when it starts going, the door follows.
Gaps around the door when closed. On exterior commercial doors, visible light or air movement around the perimeter means the weatherstripping is gone and the frame may have shifted. On insulated commercial doors, that gap is also an energy loss. On fire rated commercial doors, it is a compliance issue.
Excessive noise or difficulty operating. A door that slams, grinds, or requires two hands to open is not just an inconvenience. It is a signal that something in the assembly is failing. In high-traffic environments, that kind of friction compounds quickly.
The door is more than 20 to 25 years old. If you do not know when it was installed, that is worth finding out. A door that has been in place for two decades in a commercial facility has likely outlasted its hardware, its weatherstripping, and in some cases its fire rating certification.
If any of these apply to a door in your facility, reach out to our team. We can assess the opening and tell you whether you are looking at a repair or a replacement before it becomes an emergency.

Commercial door pricing varies based on door type, material, size, hardware, and the condition of the existing opening. Because fire rated assemblies, security doors, and custom commercial doors are all genuinely different, commercial doors are priced based on project-specific requirements. The most reliable number comes from a quote. Reach out and we will put one together for you.
A standard commercial door installation typically takes a few hours to a full day depending on the scope. Projects involving custom commercial door frames, access control hardware, or multiple openings will take longer. We confirm the timeline during the scoping process so there are no surprises on the schedule.
A properly installed commercial door with quality hardware can last 20 to 30 years or more with routine maintenance. Steel and hollow metal doors in particular are built for long service lives in high-traffic environments. The hardware – hinges, closers, latches – typically requires attention before the door itself does. Routine inspections catch small issues before they turn into replacements.
A standard hollow metal or wood door is not engineered to block sound. It provides basic separation between spaces, but sound travels through gaps, lightweight cores, and standard frames without much resistance. A soundproof commercial door is built with a denser core, specialized seals around the perimeter, and hardware that creates a tight closure. The difference is measurable and in environments like hospitals, music studios, or private offices, an acoustic door can make a difference.
