Protecting a commercial unit starts with strong, reliable access points. One of the most effective ways to secure a building is by installing the right security door. With several types available, it’s important to choose a solution that suits the layout of your unit, the level of risk, and how the space is used day to day.
Here’s a look at the best security door options for commercial spaces, and how to choose the right one.
1. Steel security doors
Steel doors are one of the most common choices for commercial units. They offer strength, resistance to forced entry, and come in a range of thicknesses depending on the level of protection needed.
Ideal for back doors, service entrances, and staff-only areas, these doors can be fitted with multipoint locks, anti-vandal finishes, and reinforced frames. Many businesses also add high security roller shutters for extra coverage on vulnerable access points.

2. Fire rated steel doors
If your commercial space requires fire separation between areas — such as between a shop floor and storage room — fire rated steel doors are essential. These doors are designed to hold back flames and smoke, helping protect people and property in the event of a fire.
They’re often used in compliance with safety regulations and can be combined with fire rated roller shutters for wider openings.
We offer both fire rated shutters and steel fire doors, suitable for retail, industrial and office environments.
3. Emergency exit doors
For any unit that’s open to staff or the public, properly fitted emergency exit doors are a must. These doors are built for fast and safe evacuation, but they also need to be secure from the outside to prevent unauthorised access.
Options include internal push bars, reinforced hinges, and tamper-resistant fixings. We also offer emergency doors with additional locking systems for when the unit is closed.
4. Insulated and soundproof options
For businesses where temperature control or sound management is important, such as workshops, studios or food preparation areas, insulated security doors can help manage conditions inside while still offering protection from break-ins.
Soundproof steel doors are also available for units that share walls or are based in built-up areas. These can reduce noise from machinery or footfall, helping maintain a quieter working environment.
5. Customised solutions for mixed use spaces
Some commercial units have multiple access points, mixed-use areas, or open plan layouts. In these cases, combining roller shutters and steel doors often provides the best balance between access and protection.
A typical setup might include:
-
A steel door for staff access
-
Roller shutters across loading bays or wide shopfronts
-
A fire rated door between working areas and stockrooms
If your unit has specific requirements, we can help recommend the right mix of commercial security doors and shutters for full coverage.
Not all commercial units need the same type of security door. The right choice depends on the layout of the building, how it’s used, and the level of protection required. From steel entry doors to fire rated and emergency options, there are strong, reliable solutions for every business setup.
