Emergency Exit Doors

Keep Your Building Safe & Code-Compliant With Metal Emergency Exit Doors From All Weather Seal

If an alarm blares, your exit doors have to push open instantly. No sticking, no slamming your shoulder into the steel, and no excuses. All Weather Seal supplies, hangs, and services heavy-duty commercial metal doors and crash hardware across Mid-Michigan. For over 40 years, local property owners have trusted our exterior work. Today, warehouse managers, shop owners, and school administrators lean on that exact field background to keep their facilities secure and safe.

Here is the real problem with commercial door work: suppliers drop off a slab, carpenters try to square it up, and then you have to call a locksmith to wire the latch. That wastes days. We cut out the middlemen entirely. Our own in-house crews show up with the right steel, hang the frame level, bolt down the panic bars, and verify code compliance before packing their tools. You get one accountable crew working across Burton, Lansing, Flint, Davison, Grand Blanc, and nearby Mid-Michigan towns.

Why It Matters

Why Mid-Michigan Businesses Need Reliable Emergency Exit Doors

OSHA and Michigan fire marshals do not mess around with emergency egress. Every secondary exit must swing open on a single, easy push from the inside. When a door drags along a bowed concrete sill, rots out at the base, or fails to latch on its own, your business is sitting on massive liability.

Winter makes everything harder around here. Road salt eats away bottom hinges, sub-zero cold freezes internal latch springs, and frost heaves the concrete outside until the door scrapes the threshold. A door that worked fine during warm August afternoons will jam tight by mid-January. That invites break-ins, bleeds expensive heat straight out the back wall, and fails your annual fire inspection on the spot.

A local inspector can shut down your facility over a locked or binding exit. Fixing bad doors avoids steep fines, keeps your insurance carrier happy, and makes sure everybody gets out safely if disaster strikes.

We regularly replace and tune up exit systems for:

Exit Hardware

Panic Bars & Exit Hardware We Install

A commercial security door is useless if the latch fails under pressure. We install industrial crash bars that open cleanly every single time:

Rim Panic Bars

The classic push bar. These mount directly to the inside face of the door slab and catch on a strike plate anchored into the frame. They are the most common pick for single doors because they are simple, mechanically tough, and clear a pathway with slight body weight. We supply them in both right- and left-hand configurations.

Vertical Rod Panic Bars

Double doors without a center post require extra latching strength. Vertical rod setups run metal rods straight up into the top frame and down into the floor strike. That gives you two solid locking points to resist heavy wind and pry bars, yet both latches retract cleanly when someone hits the crossbar. We install them as visible surface rods or hidden within the door structure.

Exit Hardware Accessories

We round out the setup with commercial-grade accessories:
• Keyed exterior levers so staff can unlock the door from outside while leaving the crash bar free inside.
• Dogging hex keys that hold latches open during delivery hours to cut down on daily wear.
• Hydraulic door closers that prevent slams, latch guards that block credit card shims, and local alarm kits.

Every single latch and screw meets OSHA regulations and local Michigan fire standards.
