Hollow Metal Door Types
“N” Series
Steel Stuffed Metal Doors
This door has all the same features of the “N” Series except for the addition of vertical.
This door has all the same features of the “N” series except for the addition of vertical stiffeners running the full length of the door. These types of doors would be used in high abuse areas.
These doors are almost identical to the “N” series as well, but have a fiberboard core which keeps the side of the door not exposed to the fire below 250ºF for 30 minutes
Mesker offers doors embossed with anywhere from 2 to 9 panel configurations to add a more elegant look than just the standard flush door appearance. These doors too feature the same specifications as the “N” door.
Mesker’s offers many styles of hollow metal frame material. From equal rabbet to single rabbet to cased opened and double egress profiles. Whether you need a standard 3-sided welded frame or a custom sidelite frame, ESL can make whatever your requirements are. We are also a UL certified shop so we can take care of any fire rating requirements.
Perhaps you have an architect wanting to use aluminum interior frames instead of hollow metal. We’ve got that covered too. We supply material from Western Integrated. They offer frame material in various wall sizes to meet any job requirements. They are available in standard clear, bronze and black anodized for quick deliveries. Custom baked on finishes are available to match most any color choice. All types of openings can be made with this material, from 3-sided door frames, to sidelites, to separate borrowed lites of any size.
Why would you need “FRP” doors? These types of heavy duty doors and frames would be required if you have a high traffic area or highly corrosive area. They are designed to resist abuse, moisture, chemicals, salt air and a host of other environmentally troublesome elements. Unlike hollow metal and wood doors, FRP doors will never rust, split, peel or rot. They can be manufactured to meet virtually any application and accept any hardware. Another great feature is that the color goes all the way through the face sheet so scratches wont be as obvious as the would on other types of doors. They also resist fading and will never need painting. Available in standard sizes and colors
