Fire egress code requires most all commercial exterior doors to be out-swinging. The problem with hollow-metal doors is that if the top of the door doesn’t have a “TOP-CAP” properly installed and sealed, and/or if in this case, if the “Lite-Kit” (window)…

…isn’t sealed well, then water has a means for accessing into the door, as evidenced by the corroded door-skin near the bottom. If you click on this or the previous photo, you may get a better view of what we’re describing.

So we were contracted to replace three of these single-entry commercial-grade steel doors. The door jambs were fine, so we were able to acquire correctly sized doors with the proper hinge-locations and lock-locations…

…that matched the original door-jambs. Note that we were also able to reuse the “Lite-Kits.” We took them out of the original doors…

…and installed them into the new doors.

One of the door-jambs was discovered to have come loose from the rough-opening, so our technician Brandon provided and…

…installed some fairly heavy-duty after-market bracketing to properly re-secure it.

We contracted Sundeleaf Painting (www.sundeleafpainting.com) to have the doors pre-painted on this project per our clients request. So when we were done, the door replacement was complete!
