Aluminum Storefront Suite Entries

The most common office suite entry configuration in DC commercial buildings:

• Narrow-Stile Aluminum Doors: Slim aluminum frames with expansive glazing that maximize visibility into the suite lobby, creating an open, inviting entry for clients and visitors. Available with clear, frosted, or tinted tempered glass.
• Medium-Stile Doors: Wider frame profiles providing additional structural integrity for high-traffic suite entries, accommodating surface-mounted closers and panic hardware without compromising the glass area.
• Sidelites and Transoms: Flanking glass panels and overhead transoms that extend the glazed entry area, bringing natural light into the suite reception and creating a more expansive entry presentation.

Executive Wood Suite Entries

Law firms, consulting practices, and private offices along K Street and in Georgetown often require a more traditional entry statement:

• Solid Core Wood Doors: Stain-grade or paint-grade wood doors with either flush or panel configurations, fitted with architectural-grade lever handles and mortise locksets that convey permanence and professionalism.
• Custom Transom Panels: Wood or glass transom panels above the suite door matching the millwork profile of the entry, common in DC’s older office buildings with high ceilings.
• Sound Attenuation: STC-rated solid core doors with perimeter seals and automatic door bottoms that reduce sound transmission between the suite interior and the building corridor, protecting client confidentiality.

Keying and Access Control

Office suite security requires correctly configured key control and electronic access:

• Master Key System Integration: New suite locks integrated into the building’s master key system, allowing building management access for emergencies and maintenance while restricting tenant access to their specific suite.
• Key Control Policies: Restricted keyway cylinders that prevent unauthorized key duplication at retail key-cutting locations, ensuring only authorized copies exist.
• Card Reader and Smartphone Access: Proximity card readers, mobile credential systems, and keypad locks installed on suite entries for audit-tracked, keyless access that simplifies employee onboarding and offboarding.
• After-Hours Access Management: Suite access scheduling that allows normal business-hour entry while requiring credentialed access during evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Tenant Turnover Services

DC’s commercial office market sees regular tenant turnover. We provide complete suite transition door services:

• Lock Re-Keying: All suite entry and interior office locks re-keyed to new tenant credentials before move-in, eliminating the security risk of previous tenant key copies.
• Hardware Refresh: Replacing worn closers, damaged lever handles, and broken storefront pivots that accumulate through the building’s life, presenting the new tenant with fully functional, professional hardware on day one.
• ADA Compliance Review: Verifying that suite entries meet current ADA requirements for clear width, threshold height, opening force, and hardware operability before the new tenant takes occupancy.
