Balanced Doors
Ellison's signature balanced doors use patented mechanics to reduce opening force by 70% while maintaining structural integrity. The system counterbalances door weight through precision-engineered hardware, allowing smooth operation even for large commercial entrances. Available in multiple materials and configurations, these doors meet ADA standards and come with a 10-year warranty.
Custom Door Solutions
We create bespoke door systems matching architectural visions while maintaining functional performance. Options include custom dimensions, material combinations, and decorative elements. Our engineering team works directly with architects to solve unique entryway challenges, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and mechanical reliability for commercial projects of any scale.
Installation Services
Our pre-assembled doors undergo factory testing before installation. Certified technicians ensure perfect alignment and operation during on-site installation. We provide detailed documentation and training for ongoing maintenance. The process includes final adjustments to account for environmental factors, guaranteeing optimal performance in the building's specific conditions.
Maintenance Support
We maintain complete records for every door produced, enabling precise replacement part identification. Our service team provides troubleshooting, component replacement, and preventive maintenance. The 10-year warranty covers all balance hardware components, with lifetime access to technical support and spare parts availability.
Power Operators
PowerNow overhead-concealed operators integrate seamlessly with balanced door systems. These low-energy solutions connect to fire detection systems for emergency egress, automatically opening to 90 degrees during alarms. The non-contact actuation design reduces wear on components while maintaining the door's aesthetic integrity and mechanical advantages.
