Memorial Park Steel Entry Doors

The project includes two tall steel entries: one single door and one broader assembly with sidelites. Three stacked glass fields and centered X muntins repeat across the operating leaves, connecting the two locations without forcing their overall dimensions to match.

The dark-bronze finish grounds the frames against the stone. Long satin-gold pulls provide a clear vertical counterpoint to the X pattern, while compact square deadbolts keep the access hardware visually controlled.

Separate field-measured elevations record the rough openings, frame widths, handing, and floor conditions before fabrication. When the east finished-floor build increased to 13/16 inch, D’Hierro revised the threshold relationship instead of carrying an obsolete dimension into the shop.

That is the practical value of field verification on a commercial entry: the drawing becomes the shared reference for steel, glass, stone, flooring, hardware, and installation while those systems can still be coordinated.

Clear insulated Low-E glass with bronze spacers fills the X-divided openings. The 5/8-inch overall glass build brings exterior performance to the tall glazed leaves without making the steel composition feel heavy.

D’Hierro presented pull-height options, then sourced and obtained approval for a close Omnia-style replacement after the selected pull was discontinued. The pulls are satin gold; the keyed-alike Emtek square deadbolts are US4 satin brass, and closers return the public-facing leaves to a controlled closed position.
