Hollow Metal Doors vs Fire Rated Steel Doors: How to Choose for a Commercial Project is written for project buyers who need a practical way to discuss specifications before asking for price. For Bastion Door, a good quotation starts with clear project information, not only a product name.
Where this door type is commonly used
Hollow Metal Doors are often selected for commercial buildings, service areas, warehouses and back-of-house openings. The final choice depends on building type, opening location, local code expectations and how the door will be used after installation.
Key details to confirm before quotation
- Confirm gauge, core, frame profile, fire rating, hardware and site conditions before production drawings are finalized.
- Provide opening size, wall condition and quantity by door mark if possible.
- Clarify whether frames, hardware, glazing, louvers or accessories should be included in the same package.
- Tell the supplier the destination country and any certificate or document requirements for the project.
What buyers should send to Bastion Door
The fastest way to receive a useful reply is to send a door schedule, plan drawing, BOQ file or a simple list of openings. Even if the schedule is not complete, Bastion Door can help identify missing items such as handing, frame depth, fire rating, lock preparation and finish.
How this improves procurement control
Clear information reduces repeated emails, avoids wrong assumptions and makes it easier to compare suppliers fairly. It also helps the factory prepare door leaves, frames and accessories in a way that matches installation needs on site.
If you are preparing a project door package, send the schedule through the Bastion Door project inquiry form and include drawings or photos when available.
