General Tree Service in Beaverton. Serving Portland & S.W. Washington since 1924.

The request had to do with a door that wouldn’t let in so much light on sunny days. Also note the horizontal pull-bar that originally existed when we first showed up. Also note the sunny July day when we first showed up to perform our preliminary inspection.

Eventually, the project included a hardware upgrade, going from a door with a deadbolt to a door with a panic device, which usually means keeping the door locked during business hours for extra security.

Eventually, we convinced the powers that be, that we could save them money by modify the original door via upgrading the glass to “Solar Cooled Bronze” glass that has a mirror-glass effect in the daytime that is also extremely efficient at deflecting the unpopular effects of ultraviolet rays, as the name suggests.

If you enlarge this photo by clicking upon it, you can see the mirror effect of the new glass we installed. You will also be able to see the icicles hanging on the awning on this February day upon which we did this project.

These photos show our technician Brandon Todd laying out the preps to install the Adams-Rite 8800 Series Rim Mounted Starwheel Bolt Panic Device.

Adams-Rite provides a self-adhesive clear template to affix to the door & jamb for drilling the necessary screw and hardware preps. If you click on the photo, it will enlarge and you’ll see it better.

After shots. Note the new off-set pull handle on the exterior, and the new Adams-Rite Model 8800 Series panic device shown from the interior photo. Also the new mirror-like solar-cooled-bronze glass we installed.

Specifications achieved. Client’s expenditures minimized.
