Secure and Compliant Door Systems for Southeast Michigan Education Facilities

MI Commercial Doors installs and services commercial door systems for schools and universities in Southeast Michigan. We work with facility directors, maintenance staff, and contractors across Holly, Flint, Ann Arbor, Macomb County, and nearby areas. Our services support K–12 districts, charter academies, community colleges, and university campuses.

Our team helps schools meet door safety requirements through expert installation, replacement, and repair. Whether you’re managing a new building or upgrading aging entries, we provide solutions that meet accessibility, code compliance, and security needs.

Classroom Doors That Meet School Standards

Two sets of double doors in a small entryway, likely in a school.

We can install and maintain doors and door frames for your school’s high-traffic entryways.

Doors in learning environments serve many functions. They support daily access, allow emergency egress, and help restrict entry during lockdowns. We install doors that match the specific use of each space, such as classrooms, corridors, stairwells, and administrative offices—while meeting local fire and ADA guidelines.

Our work includes:

Installing fire-rated steel doors with frames sized to fit existing openings
Equipping classroom doors with mortise locks, levers, and closers suited to heavy daily use
Preparing doors for electric hardware like strikes or sensors already in use by your access control system

Each door system is matched to your facility’s layout and traffic pattern. We confirm spacing, swing direction, and mounting surfaces to ensure proper fit and function.

Lockdown and Security Hardware for Schools

We help schools improve on-site security with durable door locks and access-limiting hardware. Our installations support interior locking functions that let staff secure doors quickly during emergency situations. We assist with hardware selection based on door material, location, and your school’s preferred lockdown method.

When needed, we reinforce door frames or modify prep work on-site to accept security upgrades. We also replace worn components like push bars, latches, and hinge systems that no longer work correctly.

Vision Panels and Visibility Improvements

Doors with vision panels support classroom supervision and improve hallway safety. We install glazing kits using glass that meets code for size, clarity, and impact resistance. Every panel is cut to fit your specific door and frame.

Glass types include tempered clear for general use or laminated glass where added security is required. Our team checks spacing around hardware to ensure panels align with ADA visibility rules and building codes.

Repairs and Upgrades for Older School Buildings

Many schools operate with older doors that no longer meet code or perform poorly under daily use. We inspect each door and provide repair or replacement options based on condition and compliance needs. Our technicians can reinforce frames, update hardware, or retrofit openings with minimal disruption to campus activities. We can coordinate work around your school calendar, performing service during breaks or scheduled closures when possible.

This service includes:

Fixing or replacing broken locks, closers, or hinges
Installing new door cores or frames damaged by wear or impact
Modifying openings for new code-compliant hardware

FAQs About School Door Solutions

Do you install school doors during holiday or summer breaks?

Yes. We schedule school door installations during summer or holiday breaks to avoid disrupting students and staff. This approach ensures safe access across key areas of the school building while allowing for full completion of the door systems.

Can you replace doors that no longer meet fire or ADA code requirements?

Yes. We replace outdated school doors, including classroom doors and corridor entries, with fire-rated doors and ADA-compliant hardware. These updates help improve safety and ensure code compliance across all educational facilities.

What lockdown hardware do you install to improve school security?

We install mortise locks and other school door locks that allow local lockdown from inside the classroom. These components meet the emergency egress code and allow access for first responders or authorized individuals during emergency situations.

Do you install vision panels in classroom or corridor doors?

Yes. We install vision kits using clear or laminated glass to meet safety standards and support supervision in high-traffic school environments. These panels improve visibility between hallways and classrooms while supporting ADA visibility requirements.

Can you upgrade door hardware without replacing the full door system?

Yes. We can update components such as panic bars, classroom door locks, closers, and hinges while keeping the existing steel doors or hollow metal doors. This option helps reduce cost and downtime during school building upgrades.

Do you support older educational institutions with non-standard door frames or sizes?

Yes. We measure on-site and modify hardware prep to fit doors in older school properties. Our team can adjust the door frame or hardware layout to meet building-specific access and safety goals.

What door materials work best in high-traffic school areas?

We recommend heavy-use classroom doors made from hollow metal or steel. These materials offer long-term durability and are ideal for classroom, corridor, and main entrance applications in K–12 schools and universities.

Can you prep school doors to work with access control systems?

Yes. We prep classroom doors and exterior doors to support access control systems already installed by your school district. While we do not install wiring or keyless locks, we provide the necessary door prep for access control compatibility.

What areas do you serve for school door service and installation?

We serve school districts and educational institutions throughout Southeast Michigan, including Holly, Flint, Ann Arbor, Macomb County, and Oakland County. Our team supports both single-facility schools and multi-campus educational facilities.
