About Us : Unique Design Approach

The Special-Lite approach to producing entrance systems is unique in the industry. We combine the best aspects of traditional hands-on craftsmanship, innovative design, and advanced technology to make the toughest, longest-lasting doors possible. The high quality of our doors and framing is the result of individual craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a personal commitment to quality that is simply not possible with mechanized, high-volume manufacturing.

Don't Confuse Lightweight with Light-Duty
Conventional wisdom says that a heavier, more rigid door is a stronger door. We say that employing sound engineering principles results in a lighter door that's actually a better door. In contrast to the Heavier is Better philosophy, we make Special-Lite Doors as light as possible. But don't confuse lightweight with light-duty. All Special-Lite Doors are heavy-duty doors, and should only be compared to other heavy-duty doors. We give them a high degree of flexibility and fatigue endurance to absorb the forces involved and prevent structural degradation over time. Less door mass not only means reduced wear and tear on hardware and framing for longer entrance system life, but reduced opening effort as well.
