Retrofit Solutions
RITE Door is an upgrade to existing doors that may be outdated, damaged or no longer work as intended.
Retrofit RITE Doors are installed over the existing frame reducing the amount of down time in repairing the opening within the facility.
This has proven to be a smart way to replace doors at a lower cost allowing for immediate improvements to security, functionality and visual appeal.

Why Choose RITE Door Versus a Typical Opening?
All one unit:
Ease of maintenance – only 7 moving parts
Factory pre-installed hardware for easier and quicker installation
Simplicity – Single source for support and service
Tested and certified. Complies with life safety and fire codes, meets ADA guidelines
Ordered and shipped as one unit, reduces costs of diverted or lost hardware
Traditional doors account for 1-2% of construction dollars; however, they account for nearly 35% of problems because each one can contain parts from up to 15 manufacturers. Each part is sourced separately and assembled in the field by different trades.
An integrated door system is sourced from one manufacturer, assembled at the factory, shipped as a single unit, and installed by a single trade.

Value Proposition
Lifecycle cost basis
The comparison of a traditional field installed vertical rod door assembly and the RITE Door, including all required hardware, flush mounted exit, including service costs, in the majority of cases, the value of RITE Door surpasses the lifecycle cost of the traditional solution.
RITE Door is cost competitive when comparing life cycle costs vs. Total Door
The fire curtain required in a 180o elevator lobby is more expensive and less attractive than a RITE Door
Maintenance/Installation
No service contract required or regular maintenance schedule for warranty
RITE Door does not require a ‘Certified Installer’, as required by Total Door
Can be maintained/installed by regular staff. Adjust in place
Once installed needs little to no maintenance for years
