Aluminum entrance doors commercial from DERCHI are thermally broken, project-engineered entry systems designed for demanding high-traffic environments. These doors combine 6063-T5 aluminum frames, multi-layer EPDM seals, and insulated glass to deliver energy efficiency, strength, and long-term reliability. Ideal for office towers, hotels, and retail facades, each system is manufactured to order based on project plans, not stock sizes.
- U-Factor as low as 0.38, wind resistance 5 kPa
- Custom sizes and configurations with CAD/BIM support
- Made-to-order B2B supply with full project engineering
Product Details
The core structure of DERCHI’s aluminum entrance doors commercial centers on 6063-T5 aluminum profiles with a precise thermal break and continuous multi-layer EPDM rubber gaskets. Standard glazing is 8mm+21A+8mm argon-filled double tempered glass, which contributes to the W-Z3 model’s U-Factor of 0.38. This configuration reduces thermal transfer while maintaining a sleek, modern commercial appearance.
Unlike mass-produced stock doors, every door is project-engineered—fabricated to your door schedules and elevation plans. This eliminates compromises on size, handing, or hardware integration. The robust sealing system provides air tightness of 1.2 m³/(m·h) and water tightness of 700 Pa, making it a dependable choice for storefronts, hotel lobbies, and office buildings that demand both durability and energy performance.
Product Features
Thermal Break Efficiency: The integrated thermal break and argon-filled glass achieve a U-Factor of 0.38, helping building owners reduce cooling and heating loads in large glass entrances.
Structural Wind Resistance: Tested to 5 kPa wind load, the door assembly withstands gust pressures common in mid-rise commercial facades without frame distortion.
Multi-Layer Weather Sealing: Three EPDM gaskets create a tight barrier; air infiltration is limited to 1.2 m³/(m·h), and water tightness reaches 700 Pa, protecting interior finishes from moisture.
Acoustic Damping: With standard tempered glass, sound insulation is 35 dB; laminated glass options can exceed 40 dB, offering a quieter indoor environment near busy streets.
Heavy-Duty Durability: 6063-T5 aluminum profiles (frame thickness up to 5.0 mm) and 304 stainless steel hardware ensure the door can handle thousands of daily cycles without degradation.
Fully Customizable Design: Choose from pivot, hinge, or hidden hinge styles, multiple glass types, and over 200 RAL finish colors to match architectural specifications.
Customizable Styles
Glass Options: Beyond the standard double tempered glass, select Low-E, solar control tinted, reflective, laminated, or triple insulated glass to meet local energy codes.
Frame Finishes: Available in powder coating, PVDF (70% resin), and realistic wood grain; custom RAL colors allowed for corporate branding or design consistency.
Opening Configurations: Single or double door with pivot, butt hinge, or concealed hinge operation; compatible with sidelites, transoms, and ADA-compliant 10-inch bottom rails.
Size Customization: No standard size lock-in; doors are fabricated to project-specific dimensions, including extra tall or wide openings for grand lobby entrances.
Integration Capability: Can be designed to accept automatic operators, smart locks, and access control systems, with concealed wiring channels upon request.
Hardware Accessories
Multi-Point Lock: A top and bottom shoot bolt system engages the frame at multiple points, providing better forced-entry resistance than single-point locks.
304 Stainless Steel Handles: Solid bar or tubular pull handles resist corrosion and meet the tactile durability needs of commercial traffic.
ADA-Compliant Hardware Kit: Lever-style handles, low-profile thresholds, and a 10-inch bottom rail accommodate accessibility requirements (confirm compliance per local codes).
Smart Lock Compatibility: The door can be prepped for electronic access control, including card readers and keypad systems, with concealed wiring in the aluminum profile.
Automatic Door Operator: For high-traffic entries, the door can be engineered to accept a concealed or surface-mounted operator, subject to structural review.
Basic Parameters
Performance Item | Available Information | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
Thermal Insulation | U-Factor 0.38 (W-Z3 model) | Lower U-Factor reduces energy loss; confirm NFRC rating for exact glass package and frame size. |
Wind Pressure Resistance | 5 kPa (W-Z3) | Verify design pressure with project wind zone and building height to meet local structural codes. |
Water Tightness | 700 Pa (W-Z3 lab test) | Request full test report for actual door size and threshold detail to ensure compliance. |
Air Tightness | 1.2 m³/(m·h) (W-Z3) | Important for HVAC efficiency; values may differ with custom panel sizes or hardware additions. |
Sound Insulation | 35 dB (standard); >40 dB with laminated | Specify OITC/STC requirements for acoustic-sensitive projects; laminated glass upgrade recommended. |

Application Scenarios
Apartment: The entrance to a multi-unit residential building benefits from these doors’ thermal break, reducing lobby heating bills and keeping the corridor comfortable year-round. Custom sizes fit narrow city lots.
Home Office: A professional standalone office can gain a sleek, energy-efficient entry that matches residential scale while delivering commercial-grade durability. Low-E glass helps maintain interior temperatures.
Hotel: Hotel lobbies demand a robust yet inviting entrance. The door’s wide opening capability, optional transoms, and quiet operation (35 dB) enhance guest arrival experience without sacrificing security.
Office Building: In high-rise office towers, wind load resistance (5 kPa) and air tightness control stack effect, preventing drafts in the lobby. Hidden hinge style offers a clean, modern look that aligns with corporate branding.
Outdoor: For a street-front store entrance, aluminum entrance doors commercial resist wind and rain when properly installed; confirm the specific water tightness rating and weather seal longevity for exposed applications.
Residential Building: As the main access for a condominium, the door combines security (multi-point lock) with customizable aesthetics, such as wood grain finish, to meet condo board design guidelines.
Exterior: Directly exposed to sun and rain, the PVDF-coated aluminum frame and EPDM gaskets provide good durability. It is recommended to verify corrosion resistance for coastal or extreme climates with the supplier.
Villa: For an upscale private residence, these doors create a grand entrance, with tall custom heights and decorative glass options. The heavy-duty construction ensures privacy and insulation.
