Fitting heavy-duty door stays to the hefty, industrial metal doors in your building is essential, not only for people's safety, but also to maintain the functionality and durability of your doors and to protect your building. Typically used in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings due to their strength and security, your heavy metal doors can cause potentially serious safety and property damage issues if not properly managed.
Staff & Visitor Safety
A slamming door can present a serious safety risk to the people in your building. Any door that has the potential to slam can pose a risk, but a heavy metal door can cause severe injury. With the average security door weighing in at a whopping 95kg, it’s crucial that your weighty metal doors are unable to slam shut. Fitting heavy-duty door stays to your doors will prevent a serious door-slamming injury from happening.
Wind Resistance
Your metal doors can be tricky to control in areas exposed to strong winds or pressure changes. A heavy door caught by a strong wind can easily cause damage or injury if you don’t have an appropriate door stay fitted to control its movement.
Controlling Movement
Heavy-duty door stays will help control the opening angle of your industrial metal doors, preventing them from swinging too far open and crashing into walls, other objects, the door itself — or people. Controlling the movement of your doors is crucial, especially in high-traffic areas or where space is limited.
Door Durability
Having heavy-duty door stays fitted to your hefty metal doors can help extend your doors' lifespan and the life of their hardware and components. A quality door stay for metal doors is built to withstand the weight and force of your heavy doors, reducing wear and tear on the door hinges and frame by minimizing stress and damage.
Convenience
Need frequent passage through your metal doors? Do you have industrial metal doors as service entrances or in loading docks? Heavy-duty door stays allow hands-free operation by keeping your doors open at the angle needed without having to manually hold or prop them open.
Choosing Your Heavy-Duty Door Stays
Choosing a door stay that’s appropriate and rated for your door's weight and size is essential. Along with proper installation and maintenance, select the correct size and a quality product, and your door stays will function effectively and safely year after year.
