Door Hardware That Holds Up to Business Use
Commercial doors take far more abuse than residential ones — hundreds of cycles a day, code requirements, fire ratings and ADA rules all in play. A1 Security Gate & Intercom installs and services the full range of commercial door hardware: mortise and cylindrical locksets, exit devices, door closers, electric and mechanical locks, and complete master key systems.
We work in ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 hardware — the heavy-duty grade built for high-traffic commercial openings — from trusted brands so your locks keep working long after cheaper hardware would fail. Whether you are outfitting a new buildout, replacing worn locks, or standardizing hardware across a portfolio of properties, we make sure every door is keyed, hung and adjusted the way it should be.
Because we also install access control, maglocks, electric strikes and panic hardware, we can take a door from a plain mechanical lock all the way to badge-controlled, monitored entry — and we keep the mechanical key override and ADA-compliant operation intact the whole way.
Who We Outfit
If your doors are part of how you run and protect your business, the hardware on them matters. We hardware everything from a single suite to a full building.
Offices & Suites
Grade 1 levers, mortise locks and master keying so the right people open the right doors.
Retail & Warehouse
Durable storefront, stockroom and dock-door hardware built for constant daily traffic.
Property Managers
Standardized hardware and master key systems across multiple doors and buildings.
Medical & Schools
Code-compliant, ADA-friendly locks and closers for sensitive and high-occupancy spaces.
Problems We Solve
- Cheap or worn locks that stick, loosen or fail under heavy commercial use.
- A patchwork of mismatched keys with no master key control over who can open what.
- Doors that slam, drag or do not latch because of a failing or misadjusted closer.
- Levers and hardware that do not meet ADA or Texas commercial building code.
- A departed employee or lost key that means you need to rekey fast.
- Hardware that needs to support both a mechanical key and electronic access.
