Liberty Door Supply is a commercial glass and aluminum storefront contractor serving Staten Island and all five New York City boroughs. If your retail storefront needs new glazing, your building entry needs an ADA-compliant automatic door, or your commercial property needs a rolling security gate installed or repaired, we fabricate and install it. We are not a locksmith. We are a glass and metal contractor built for property managers, general contractors, retail owners, and building owners who need code-compliant work done right.
What types of commercial properties in Staten Island typically need storefront glass and aluminum work?
Staten Island has a distinct commercial mix compared to other boroughs. The North Shore, especially along Bay Street and Richmond Terrace, has older mixed-use buildings with aging storefront systems that need full frame replacements. The South Shore retail corridors on Richmond Avenue and Hylan Boulevard are lined with strip centers and standalone retail buildings where landlords regularly upgrade entries for new tenants or replace storm-damaged glazing.
Common project types we handle on Staten Island include:
- Aluminum storefront frame replacement on retail and mixed-use buildings using systems like Kawneer 350, Kawneer 451T, and YKK AP ThermaShield series
- Commercial glass replacement with tempered, laminated, or insulated units that meet NYC Building Code requirements
- Rolling security gate installation and repair for retail storefronts, pharmacies, and ground-floor commercial tenants
- Glass partitions and railings for interior office buildouts and lobby renovations
- Curtain wall and glass facade systems on newer mixed-use and institutional buildings along the North Shore waterfront development corridor
Staten Island also has a growing healthcare and institutional sector. Medical office buildings and urgent care centers on Richmond Avenue frequently require ADA-compliant entry upgrades, which brings us to the next question.
How do you handle ADA and NYC DOB compliance for automatic door installations in Staten Island?
ADA compliance for commercial entries is not optional, and NYC DOB enforcement applies across all five boroughs including Staten Island. An automatic door installation that is not properly documented can create liability for a building owner and trigger violations during a certificate of occupancy inspection.
We install and service the following automatic door systems on Staten Island projects:
- LCN 9500 Series automatic swing door operators for single and double entry configurations
- Stanley Dura-Glide 2000 Series sliding automatic door systems for high-traffic retail and medical entries
- Besam UniSlide and SW200i sliding operators for interior vestibule applications
- Dorma ST Flex sliding systems for narrower storefront openings common in older Staten Island retail buildings
Every automatic door installation we complete includes proper clearances, approach zones, and activation device placement per ICC A117.1 and NYC Building Code Chapter 11. We coordinate with the general contractor or building owner on permit filings when required. The framing, glazing, and hardware are all handled in house. We do not subcontract the fabrication.
What commercial door hardware do you supply and install for Staten Island properties?
Hardware is where a storefront system either holds up or fails. We specify and install heavy-duty commercial door hardware on every project we touch in Staten Island. That includes:
- Panic bars and exit devices: Von Duprin 99 Series and 98 Series rim exit devices, Detex ECL-600 surface vertical rod devices for double-door assemblies
- Door closers: LCN 4040XP and 1460 Series overhead closers, Norton 1600 Series for medium-duty commercial applications
- Push and pull hardware: Rockwood and Trimco pull bars in stainless steel and brushed aluminum finishes sized for aluminum storefront stiles
- Continuous hinges: Roton 780HD and 515HD series for high-frequency commercial entries
Rolling security gates are a separate category. For Staten Island retail, we install both slide-to-side and counter-shutter rolling gate systems from Cookson and Cornell. Motor-operated gates with manual override are standard for any storefront where after-hours security is a priority. We handle the full scope: track fabrication, installation, and integration with the aluminum storefront frame.
When a storefront glass panel cracks or a door frame gets hit, property managers in Staten Island need a contractor who can respond fast and board up or replace the glazing the same day. We carry tempered and laminated glass stock for common commercial unit sizes and can mobilize for emergency board-up across Staten Island on short notice.
