New Commercial Door Installation: Thanksgiving Downtime
Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and, for many businesses, a much-needed break from work. This yearly break is a rare, golden chance that many facility managers miss: the best time to put in new commercial doors. Why fight the daily hustle and bustle when you can use the long holiday weekend to improve your property’s security, efficiency, and looks with little trouble?
Keep Business Running Smoothly
The biggest obstacle to essential facility upgrades is the potential for disrupting day-to-day business. Installing a new, heavy-duty commercial steel door or a modern, automated glass entrance requires time, space, and a clear work zone. During a regular business week, this means rerouting customer traffic, compromising security for a period, and creating noise that can interrupt staff productivity.
Did you know?
If you schedule your commercial door installation over a long holiday weekend like Thanksgiving, it can cut down on the time the project is on hold by up to 80% compared to a regular workday installation. This is because the team that is putting it together can always get to the site without any problems.
There are many days during the Thanksgiving holiday when foot traffic, deliveries, and employee access are very low or nonexistent. These days often include the Friday after and the weekend. This lets our trained installers work quickly, efficiently, and safely, so your new entry system will be ready to use before the next business cycle starts.

Get ready for the New Year rush by improving security and efficiency
At the end of the year, holiday shoppers come in droves, inventory levels rise, and for many, security worries rise as well. You can be sure you’re safe now that you’ve put in a high-security commercial door. The darkest months and busiest shopping season are coming up.
A new one can make your building’s energy use much better. Doors that are old or broken are often the main cause of energy loss. Our insulated overhead doors, which are made of modern aluminum and glass, make a better seal. This means that you will pay less for utilities because it keeps conditioned air from escaping. If you buy a new, energy-efficient commercial door now, you’ll start saving money on heating costs right away.

The timing of your project is important, but so is picking the right partner. Our full range of commercial door services includes everything from the first consultation and site visit to the professional installation and final inspection.
We offer a wide range of door systems that can be used in any business setting:

Frequently Asked Questions
How much downtime is truly required for a typical commercial entry door replacement?
For a standard single or double commercial entry door, the replacement process can often be completed in a single, uninterrupted day. Scheduling it during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend provides a buffer of up to four non-business days, virtually eliminating any customer or employee inconvenience. More complex systems, like multi-bay overhead doors or full storefront replacements, may require 2-3 days, making the long weekend an even more critical advantage.
Are there specific types of commercial doors that are better suited for holiday installation?
Any door replacement is ideal for installation during downtime, but the biggest benefits are seen with high-traffic entry points (like main lobby doors) and critical security points (like rear receiving doors). This is because the installation team needs maximum clearance and a secure staging area, which is easiest to achieve when the building is empty. This includes fire-rated commercial doors and automatic sliding doors which require more complex wiring and calibration.
