Designed for Daily Movement

An entrance is a moving part of the building.

NYC ALL GLASS provides glass entrance and door systems for commercial and qualifying interior applications across New York City. We work with general contractors, architects, property managers, developers, business owners, and project teams.

Unlike fixed glazing, a door must move, close, latch, clear nearby surfaces, coordinate with hardware, and withstand repeated daily use. The opening, glass, framing, pivots or hinges, closer, threshold, locks, pulls, and access-control interfaces must function as one system.

Entrance principle

A clean appearance is not enough. A successful glass door must remain aligned, operate predictably, coordinate with the required hardware, and suit the traffic and conditions of the property.

Entrance Types

The door system follows the opening.

Door type depends on the approved design, support conditions, traffic, desired profile, hardware, surrounding storefront, and project requirements.

Minimal Profiles

Frameless Glass Doors

All-glass entrances using coordinated rails, patches, pivots, handles, locks, and closers.

Door Hardware

Every component affects operation.

Hardware is selected and coordinated as part of the entrance assembly. Compatibility cannot be assumed from appearance alone.

Pivots & Hinges

Door support, swing direction, glass preparation, frame conditions, weight, clearances, and adjustment requirements.

Closers & Floor Springs

Controlled closing, hold-open conditions where applicable, floor or header coordination, access for adjustment, and door weight.

Pulls, Rails & Handles

Size, placement, finish, glass drilling, accessibility considerations, and coordination with locks and door movement.

Locks & Latching

Patch locks, deadbolts, latch hardware, cylinders, strikes, paired-door conditions, and project-specific security requirements.

Thresholds & Bottom Conditions

Finished floor elevations, weathering, sweeps, door clearance, drainage, transitions, and surrounding construction.

Access-Control Coordination

Interfaces for electric locks, contacts, wiring paths, readers, and other systems coordinated with the responsible electrical and security trades.

Performance & Compliance

Movement, traffic, and the public path matter.

Commercial entrance doors may interact with egress, accessibility, security, weather exposure, building access, public circulation, and local approval requirements. These conditions must be identified before the system and hardware are finalized.

✓Door swing, clearances, and nearby obstructions
✓Traffic level and expected frequency of use
✓Closing, latching, and operating hardware
✓Threshold and finished-floor transitions
✓Project-specific egress and accessibility requirements
Important: Permit, egress, accessibility, fire-rating, security, and access-control requirements vary by project. Final criteria must come from the approved project documents and responsible design or code professionals.
Commercial Applications

Entrances for active New York spaces.

The appropriate door and hardware package changes with traffic, security, visibility, hours of operation, and the role of the entrance.

R

Retail Stores

Street retail, shopping environments, luxury storefronts, and tenant improvements.

O

Offices & Lobbies

Building entrances, tenant suites, vestibules, conference areas, and commercial interiors.

H

Hospitality

Restaurants, hotels, cafés, event spaces, and other customer-facing properties.

B

Branch entrances, service locations, managed facilities, and controlled-access openings.

S

Showrooms

Dealerships, galleries, product displays, and high-visibility sales environments.

Existing Entrance Systems

Repair, replacement, or complete entrance renewal?

A misaligned or damaged glass door does not automatically require full replacement—but isolated repair is not always appropriate. The glass, pivots, hinges, closer, rails, frame, threshold, locks, anchors, and surrounding opening should be reviewed together.

Project Sequence

From opening review to final adjustment.

Glass doors demand accurate field information and compatible hardware. Preparation begins only after the critical opening and system conditions are confirmed.

01

Scope Review

Project use, drawings, opening type, traffic, door configuration, and schedule are reviewed.

02

Field Verification

Dimensions, frame, floor, header, swing, clearances, and existing hardware conditions are checked.

03

Hardware Coordination

Door support, closer, pulls, locks, thresholds, and interfaces are organized.

04

Preparation

Verified information is used to prepare glass, doors, framing, and components.

05

Installation

The entrance is installed with protection and coordination around surrounding work.

06

Adjustment

Alignment, swing, closing, latching, clearances, and finish quality are reviewed.

Common Questions

Glass entrance and door FAQs.

Practical answers for contractors, property managers, architects, businesses, and commercial project teams.

What types of glass entrance doors do you install?
We work on qualifying aluminum-framed and frameless glass entrances, single and paired doors, storefront-integrated doors, all-glass doors, sidelites, transoms, vestibule conditions, and related commercial entrance scopes.
Can you replace only one damaged glass door?
Sometimes. The existing glass dimensions, cutouts, rails, patches, pivots, closer, frame, threshold, hardware compatibility, finish availability, and overall condition must be reviewed before a partial replacement is recommended.
Why is my commercial glass door scraping or failing to close?
Possible causes include worn or loose pivots, closer problems, building or frame movement, misalignment, threshold interference, loose hardware, damaged rails, or changes in the opening. The complete entrance should be inspected before deciding on an adjustment or replacement.
Can access-control hardware be added to a glass entrance?
Access-control components may be coordinated for qualifying systems, but compatibility, wiring paths, locking hardware, glass preparation, frame conditions, power, controls, and work by electrical or security trades must be established before fabrication.
What type of glass is used for entrance doors?
Commercial glass doors commonly use safety glass, with exact makeup, thickness, dimensions, edge treatment, holes, and hardware preparation determined by the door system and approved project requirements.
Do glass entrance projects require permits or accessibility review?
Requirements depend on the scope, property, location, use, egress path, entrance modification, hardware, and jurisdiction. The responsible project team should confirm permits, accessibility, egress, and other code criteria before work proceeds.
Where does NYC ALL GLASS install and service glass entrances?
We serve qualifying projects across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Availability depends on the scope, access, schedule, documentation, safety conditions, and current capacity.
