Before you ask: no, glass doors aren’t that easy to break. Commercial doors are specially-manufactured to withstand pressure and everyday use. So when a glass door suddenly shatters, the cause will more likely be external factors. When this happens, a prompt commercial door installation or commercial door replacement is needed, as soon as possible.

But in the meanwhile, it’s imperative that business owners have some kind of measures in place to prevent any further accidents. While Atlas Door Repair’s door technicians do work quickly, getting a replacement finished immediately, on the same day, can be a bit tough.

So while you wait, it’d probably be best to secure the area as soon as the breakage happens. That way, you can keep your business and your clients safe.

With that all said, here are the necessary steps to take when your commercial door suddenly breaks:

Secure the Perimeter

First things first— ensure people’s safety. They’re the first ones you’d want out of harm’s way if any mishaps happen. To do this, you’d need to direct anyone near the broken glass far from the area, or kindly guide them to another entrance/exit. If possible, secure the area by putting caution tape around the perimeter, or any warning tools you can make use of.
