More Than a Century of Experience

Founded in 1905, M. Spinello & Son is a fourth-generation family-owned company with over 120 years of experience in the security and door industry.

Commercial doors are more than just openings in a wall. They are a critical component of a facility’s overall security strategy. Our team understands how doors, locks, access control systems, surveillance cameras, intercoms, and life safety systems all work together to protect people and property.

That expertise allows us to recommend solutions that provide long-term reliability, security, and value.


Enhanced Security for Your Facility

Many older hollow metal doors and frames suffer from years of wear and abuse. Rust, corrosion, warped frames, damaged hinges, and failing hardware can create significant security vulnerabilities.

Replacing damaged doors and frames can:

·        Improve building security

·        Reduce unauthorized access

·        Enhance employee safety

·        Strengthen perimeter protection

·        Improve fire protection

·        Increase building code compliance

Our team can also integrate your new doors with electronic access control systems, card readers, keypads, video intercoms, and surveillance systems for a complete security upgrade.


Expertise in High-Security Applications

M. Spinello & Son regularly works with:

·        Schools

·        Government buildings

·        Manufacturing facilities

·        Distribution centers

·        Office buildings

·        Multi-family housing properties

·        Retail facilities

These projects often require specialized knowledge of life safety requirements, fire codes, ADA regulations, access control systems, and high-security hardware.

Our experience ensures your project is completed correctly the first time.


Professional Installation Matters

Even the highest-quality hollow metal door will perform poorly if it is installed incorrectly.

Proper installation requires:

·        Accurate field measurements

·        Correct frame preparation

·        Proper anchoring methods

·        Hardware alignment

·        Door closer adjustments

·        Fire-rating compliance

·        ADA compliance verification

Our experienced technicians understand the details that make the difference between a door that causes problems and a door that performs reliably for decades.
