Liberty Door Supply is a commercial glass and aluminum storefront contractor serving Brooklyn property managers, general contractors, retail owners, and building owners. If your storefront glass is broken, your aluminum door frame is failing, or your rolling security gate needs replacement, we fabricate and install the fix. We are not a locksmith service. We are the contractor you call when the glass, the metal frame, the door hardware, or the gate itself needs to be built, installed, or repaired correctly and to code.
What kinds of commercial buildings in Brooklyn typically need storefront glass and aluminum work?
Brooklyn has one of the most varied commercial building stocks in New York City. The work we handle reflects that variety.
- Ground-floor retail on Atlantic Avenue, Fulton Street, and Flatbush Avenue - these corridors have high pedestrian traffic and storefronts that take constant abuse. Broken glass, bent frames, and worn door closers are routine.
- Mixed-use buildings in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and DUMBO - new construction and gut renovations here regularly require Kawneer 350 or 451T aluminum storefront framing, commercial-grade tempered or laminated glass, and ADA-compliant entry configurations.
- Industrial and warehouse conversions in Red Hook and Sunset Park - large glass facades, curtain wall sections, and heavy-duty rolling security gates are common on these properties.
- Restaurants, bodegas, and pharmacies borough-wide - these tenants need durable storefront systems, panic hardware on rear egress doors, and often a rolling gate for after-hours protection.
Brooklyn landlords and GCs also deal with NYC Department of Buildings filing requirements. Every storefront alteration or new installation has to meet Local Law standards. We fabricate and install to those specs.
What specific glass and aluminum systems does Liberty Door Supply install for Brooklyn projects?
We work with proven commercial product lines that perform well in high-use urban environments.
Aluminum storefront framing: We install Kawneer 350 Series for standard retail storefronts, Kawneer 451T thermally broken framing for energy-code-sensitive projects, and Kawneer 1600 Wall System for curtain wall and larger glass facade work. We also supply and install YKK AP and Tubelite systems depending on project requirements and lead times.
Commercial doors: Aluminum entrance doors in medium-stile and wide-stile configurations from Kawneer and EFCO. Tempered glass is standard. Laminated glass is specified where impact resistance or sound attenuation matters.
ADA and automatic entry: We install LCN 9542 Series low-energy automatic operators and ASSA ABLOY SW200 Series swing door operators. Proper activation placement, door swing clearances, and hardware height compliance are part of every ADA installation we do.
Commercial door hardware: Von Duprin 99 Series and 98 Series panic bars, LCN 4040XP and 1461 Series door closers, Rixson overhead concealed closers for high-traffic applications, and Rockwood push and pull hardware. We do not wire access control systems or install card readers. We install the mechanical hardware that makes a commercial door function and comply with NYC fire and egress code.
Rolling security gates: We supply and install both interior and exterior rolling steel curtain gates for Brooklyn retail and commercial spaces. Perforated, solid, and grille patterns are available. Motor operators from Cornell and Cookson are options when an electric gate is specified.
Glass partitions and railings: Interior storefront framing, glass partition walls, and frameless or semi-frameless glass railings for commercial lobbies, offices, and mezzanines.
How does Liberty Door Supply handle emergency glass repair and board-up in Brooklyn?
Broken storefront glass happens at all hours. A smashed door lite, a shattered fixed panel, or a compromised glass partition is a safety and liability issue immediately. We respond to emergency calls across Brooklyn and the other four boroughs.
Our emergency process is direct:
- We secure the opening with solid board-up material to protect the interior and prevent further damage.
- We assess the frame for damage. A bent aluminum frame that is not replaced will cause the new glass to fail again.
- We cut and glaze replacement tempered or laminated glass to the correct thickness and size for the opening.
- We reinstall and seal to weathertight standards.
For rolling gate emergencies, broken slats, damaged bottom bars, and jammed curtains are all repairs we handle on-site in Brooklyn.
When the work requires a NYC DOB permit, we handle the filing. We do not hand that responsibility off to the building owner and walk away.
If you manage a commercial property or are a GC working on a Brooklyn project and need a reliable glass and aluminum contractor, call Liberty Door Supply at (347) 928-7349. We also serve Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island for any project that crosses borough lines.
