Can you complete school glazing and door work during the summer shutdown?

Yes. We sequence material procurement, demolition, and installation to fit glazing, curtain wall, and door/frame/hardware scopes inside the June-through-August window. Our project managers build phased schedules around NJSDA milestones and occupied-campus ICRA protocols so classrooms, cafeterias, and administrative offices are ready when students return in September.

Do you install fire-rated doors and secure entry vestibules for K-12 schools?

Yes. We furnish and install Warnock Hersey and Intertek-listed fire-rated hollow metal doors, frames, and 20-, 45-, 60-, and 90-minute rated glazing assemblies. Our ASSA ABLOY-trained team also builds secure entry vestibules with access control, electrified hardware, and UL 752 bullet-resistant transaction windows for school main offices across NJ, PA, and DE.

What are the ADA door requirements for school buildings?

ADA door requirements for schools mandate a minimum 32-inch clear opening width, maximum 5 lbf operating force, accessible threshold heights, and compliant hardware at 34 to 48 inches above finished floor. South Jersey Glass & Door installs ADA-compliant classroom doors, automatic door openers, and accessible entry vestibules for K-12 districts and universities across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

What size are standard classroom door windows and vision panels?

Standard classroom door vision lites typically measure 4 by 20 inches to 10 by 30 inches, depending on the school district's security policy and local fire code. South Jersey Glass & Door installs narrow-profile vision panels, half-lite classroom doors, and full-lite options using laminated glass or fire-rated glazing to meet both NFPA 80 requirements and district-mandated lockdown visibility standards.

Do you install security glazing and forced-entry-resistant glass for schools?

Yes. We install laminated glass windows, forced-entry-resistant glazing, and UL 752 bullet-resistant assemblies for school vestibules, main offices, and ground-floor classroom windows. Products include RIOT Glass retrofit laminates and Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope laminated units that resist blunt-force and ballistic threats while maintaining code-required egress and fire-rating compliance.

Are fire-rated doors required in school corridors and stairwells?

Yes. NFPA 80 and the International Building Code require fire-rated door and frame assemblies at corridor separations, stairwell enclosures, and hazardous-use rooms in educational occupancies. South Jersey Glass & Door installs 20-, 45-, 60-, and 90-minute Warnock Hersey and Intertek-listed assemblies with smoke seals, self-closing hardware, and fire-rated glazing for schools across NJ, PA, and DE.

Commercial glazing for educational institutions encompasses the aluminum storefronts, curtain wall systems, classroom doors, fire-rated openings, and secure entry vestibules that K-12 schools, universities, and charter schools require to meet life-safety codes, ADA compliance, and modern security standards. Every educational occupancy project demands forced-entry-resistant glazing, vision lites sized to code, and hollow metal door frames rated for the abuse of daily student traffic.

South Jersey Glass & Door brings 95-plus years of school construction experience, skilled glaziers, and five New Jersey branches to every educational project. We hold SNJDA vendor verification, AAADM automatic door certification, and factory training on Kawneer, YKK AP, and ASSA ABLOY hardware lines — the vendors most commonly specified on K-12 and higher-education projects.

From Camden County charter school retrofits to Delaware university campus expansions and Philadelphia metro magnet-school new builds, our crews deliver commercial door installation, aluminum storefront systems, laminated glass windows, and complete door/frame/hardware packages on schedule — even inside tight summer shutdown windows.
