Glass entry door for a shop: what matters
500+ people/day, bag strikes, advertising on glass. What to pick and how long it lasts.
A shop's glass door isn't "a home door in a shop." 500–2000 openings/day, bag strikes, branding films, anti-vandal requirements. Standard door lasts 1–2 years here. Commercial spec — 7–10 years.
01What's different
- 8+8 PVB laminated instead of standard 10 mm tempered
- Heavy-duty hinges Dorma TS 91 / Geze Bushy with bearings (500 000 cycles)
- Floor closer Dorma BTS 80 — intensive flow, 2-phase speed
- Panic hardware (mandatory for public spaces)
- Emergency unlock tied to fire alarm
