RCI Doors™ is North Carolina’s commercial door installation contractor for every door type, from single personnel doors to full industrial high speed systems.
Every commercial opening has a job to do — control access, contain temperature, meet code, move forklifts, or simply make the right first impression. RCI Doors™ installs and replaces every type of commercial door across North Carolina and the greater Charlotte metro, including Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheboro, Huntersville, Rock Hill, and Fort Mill.
We are a licensed, ISN-certified commercial door contractor serving facilities of every size — from a single storefront replacement to multi-opening installation projects across industrial campuses. Every installation is scoped, permitted where required, and commissioned by our own trained technicians.
Commercial Door Installation
We install and replace commercial doors from the industry’s leading manufacturers. Every project is held to five non-negotiables.
- Licensed & Insured Commercial Installation — All installations are performed by RCI’s own licensed, insured technicians — not subcontractors — with manufacturer-specific training on every brand we carry.
- Full Opening Assessment Before Every Project — We survey the existing frame, rough opening, hardware, threshold, and site conditions before specifying a door. Problems get identified before installation, not during it.
- Code-Compliant Installation — Every door is installed to local building code, ADA requirements where applicable, and manufacturer specifications required for warranty coverage.
- ISN-Certified Safety Compliance — RCI Doors™™ holds ISN certification, meeting the contractor safety standards required by major industrial, healthcare, and institutional facility owners.
- Post-Installation Commissioning — Every installation includes operational testing, hardware adjustment, operator programming, and documentation before we leave the job site.
Commercial Door Services
- Install
New commercial door installation for any opening type — entrance, interior, loading dock, overhead, automatic, high speed, fire-rated, and specialty applications. - Replace
Commercial door replacement for end-of-life systems, damaged assemblies, non-compliant openings, or doors that no longer meet current operational or code requirements. - Repair
24-hour emergency commercial door repair, hardware replacement, operator troubleshooting, and same-day service for critical operational openings. - Maintain

Commercial door installations often require building permits, ADA compliance reviews, and manufacturer-specification documentation for warranty coverage. RCI Doors™ manages the permit process, ensures every installation meets current code, and provides full documentation — so the project is defensible from day one.
Commercial Door Types We Install & Replace
RCI Doors™ installs, replaces, and services every major commercial door type. Each opening gets the right door for its traffic, environment, and code requirements — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Commercial Door Replacement
Commercial door replacement is not just about swapping hardware — it is an opportunity to right-size the door for how the opening actually gets used today. RCI Doors™ evaluates existing assemblies against current operational demands, code requirements, and energy performance before recommending a replacement. In many cases, replacing an outdated door pays for itself in reduced repair costs, lower energy bills, and fewer unplanned shutdowns.
Common reasons facilities call RCI for commercial door replacement:
- Door has exceeded its service life and repair costs are recurring
- Existing door no longer meets current ADA, fire, or building code requirements
- Operational changes require a different door type (e.g., adding forklift traffic, upgrading to automatic)
- Storm, impact, or vandalism damage beyond economical repair
- Energy efficiency: replacing aging seals, weather stripping, and panels on doors that no longer perform
- Security upgrade: replacing hollow-core or lightweight doors with heavy-gauge steel or rated assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial doors does RCI Doors™ install?
RCI Doors™ installs every major commercial door type: automatic doors, entrance and storefront doors, high speed industrial doors, overhead sectional doors, rolling steel doors, personnel doors, fire-rated doors, ADA-compliant doors, loading dock doors, and specialty systems including aircraft hangar doors and security scissor gates. We are a single-source commercial door contractor — one relationship for every opening in your facility.
How long does commercial door installation take?
Most single commercial door installations are completed in one day. Larger projects — multiple openings, new rough framing, or permit-required work — are scoped individually. RCI Doors™™ provides a detailed project timeline as part of every installation quote, so you know what to expect before work begins. For emergency replacements, we prioritize same-day or next-day service on critical openings.
Do I need a permit for commercial door installation?
It depends on the scope of work, the jurisdiction, and the door type. Replacing a door in an existing opening with the same configuration typically does not require a permit in most NC jurisdictions. Adding a new opening, changing a rough opening size, installing a fire-rated assembly, or making structural modifications usually does. RCI Doors™ reviews permit requirements for every project and manages the permitting process where required — so you are never left exposed.
What is the difference between commercial door installation and commercial door replacement?
Installation typically refers to placing a door in a new or rough opening — part of new construction or a significant renovation. Replacement refers to removing an existing door and installing a new one in an established opening. In practice, RCI Doors™ handles both the same way: we assess the opening, specify the right door, manage any permitting, and commission the finished assembly. Whether the opening is new or existing, the standard of work is the same.
How much does commercial door installation cost?
Commercial door installation cost varies significantly depending on door type, size, materials, and the condition of the existing opening. A standard personnel door replacement is a very different scope than a high-cycle high speed door system for a food processing facility. RCI Doors™ provides free on-site assessments so you get an accurate number for your specific project — not a rough estimate that may not reflect your actual opening, frame condition, or code requirements.
Can you replace a commercial door without replacing the frame?
Yes — in most cases. If the existing frame is structurally sound, correctly sized for the replacement door, and meets current code, we can install a new door slab, hardware, and weather seals without touching the frame. If the frame is damaged, out of square, or undersized for the new door, we will flag that in the site assessment and include frame work in the project scope. Replacing a door into a compromised frame is one of the most common causes of premature door failure — we check the frame before we recommend a door.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial door installation in North Carolina?
Yes. RCI Doors™ is a fully licensed and insured commercial door contractor operating across North Carolina, with locations in Asheboro and Huntersville serving the Triad, Charlotte metro, and surrounding regions. We also hold ISN certification, which meets the contractor safety and compliance standards required by major industrial, healthcare, and institutional facility owners. Documentation is available on request.
Do you service commercial doors you didn’t install?
Yes. RCI Doors™ services, repairs, and replaces commercial doors from every major manufacturer — regardless of who installed them. We carry parts and have factory-trained technicians for all the brands we represent, and our service team handles emergency repair and preventive maintenance on existing systems across our service area.
