Aluminum-Glass Storefront Hardware – Hook Bolts, Deadlatches and Cylinders
For securing aluminum-glass storefront doors, we focus on precision and durability. These doors, common along I-Drive, Millenia, and other commercial strips, rely on specific hardware that we handle daily. Typically, they feature a hook-bolt or deadlatch mortise cylinder set into the narrow aluminum stile. The hook bolt reaches into the jamb, providing resistance against prying attempts.
We fit these doors with ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 cylinders, and for higher-risk areas like I-Drive and OBT, we use UL437 high-security cylinders that resist drilling and picking. These are keyed to the business's restricted or master system for enhanced control.
Given the high frequency of use, components like deadlatches, pivots, and closers wear quickly. That's why we don't just replace cylinders; we service and replace the entire assembly as needed. Our installations include concentric and mortise cylinders, thumbturns for after-hours egress, and electric strikes for access control.
