Series D500 Wide Stile Aluminum Storefront Door

Boyd's Series D500 (WS) is a non-thermal wide stile commercial aluminum storefront entrance door designed for highly visited buildings that need a broader, more substantial aluminum profile and additional hardware room. With minimal exposed fasteners and welded corners providing increased durability, the D500 is a reliable and attractive choice for libraries, government buildings, banks, institutional facilities, retail storefronts, offices, multifamily properties, and other high-use commercial entrances.

Series D500 is tested to verify limited water infiltration and fulfillment of ADA requirements. It is compatible with most major hardware types—yes, even special hardware applications—and is available with a 1.75" door thickness; 1/4" or 1" glazing; square-cut or beveled glazing beads; offset pivots, continuous hinges, or butt hinges; Push/Pull, rim panic, or concealed vertical rod (CVR) panic hardware; multiple bottom-rail and mid-rail options; and a wide range of painted or anodized finishes.

Boyd can presort and ship D500 storefront-door orders incredibly fast—often in a fraction of the time as other leading commercial entry-door suppliers. A Boyd storefront-door representative can help coordinate the D500 door leaf, entrance frame, sidelites, transoms, threshold, glazing, hardware, access control, finish, opening requirements, installation sequence, presorting, packaging, and shipping needs.

When to Use the Series D500 Wide Stile Door

• Highly visited commercial entrances requiring a broader and more substantial aluminum door profile than a narrow- or medium-stile storefront door.

• Libraries, government buildings, banks, institutional facilities, retail stores, offices, multifamily properties, mixed-use buildings, renovation, replacement, and similar commercial applications.

• Non-thermal storefront entrance conditions where a thermally broken door is not required.

• Single doors or door pairs requiring a 1.75" door thickness with 1/4" or 1" glazing.

• Entrances requiring additional aluminum width for hardware preparation, access control, panic devices, closers, locks, and higher-use commercial conditions.

• Openings requiring offset pivots, continuous hinges, butt hinges, Push/Pull hardware, rim panic devices, concealed vertical rod panic hardware, or compatible special hardware.

• Projects requiring multiple mid-rail and bottom-rail choices, 10-inch bottom-rail options, square-cut or beveled glazing beads, and painted or anodized finishes.

• Projects requiring ADA-tested entrance performance, limited water infiltration, welded corners, and minimal exposed fasteners.

• Schedule-sensitive entrance packages where Boyd's installation presorting and fast shipping can reduce normal lead time.

Choosing a Boyd Commercial Storefront Door

You are viewing the Series D500 non-thermal wide stile storefront door. Door selection should begin with stile width, entrance traffic, hardware requirements, thermal strategy, door thickness, glazing, access control, panic hardware, bottom rail, mid rail, threshold, finish, surrounding storefront framing, and opening conditions. Review the related door series below when the project requires a narrower glass-forward profile, a balanced medium-stile entrance, or thermally broken construction.

Common Series D500 Storefront Door Coordination Items

• Door and entrance scope: Confirm whether the order includes the D500 door leaf only or a complete entrance package with frames, sidelites, transoms, thresholds, glazing, hardware preparation, accessories, and surrounding storefront framing.

• Non-thermal entrance strategy: D500 is a non-thermal storefront door. Confirm that non-thermal construction is appropriate for the surrounding storefront, glazing, entrance exposure, project specifications, energy requirements, and owner expectations.

• Single door or pair: Identify single-door or paired-door requirements, handing, active and inactive leaves, meeting-stile condition, astragal or weathering requirements, concealed vertical rods, clear opening, and egress operation.

• Traffic and durability: Coordinate expected pedestrian traffic, institutional or public-building use, owner standards, carts or equipment, service access, closer requirements, abuse resistance, maintenance expectations, and hardware durability.

• Hardware: Provide the complete hardware set, manufacturer, model numbers, templates, physical hardware when required, mounting heights, backsets, reinforcements, electrified components, power-transfer requirements, and door-preparation scope.

• Hinges and pivots: Select offset pivots, continuous hinges, or butt hinges and coordinate entrance-frame compatibility, header construction, threshold conditions, intermediate hinge or pivot requirements, clearances, adjustment, and installation access.

• Panic and egress hardware: Confirm Push/Pull, rim panic, concealed vertical rod panic, dogging, trim, strikes, door pairs, life-safety requirements, and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements with the project design team.

• Access control: Coordinate electric strikes, magnetic locks, card readers, request-to-exit devices, power supplies, door position switches, wire paths, transfers, security contacts, and hardware preparation before fabrication.

• ADA and accessibility: Coordinate clear-opening width, threshold profile, bottom-rail height, operating hardware, opening force, closing speed, maneuvering clearances, approach conditions, and accessible-route requirements for the complete installed entrance.

• Glazing: Confirm 1/4-inch or 1-inch glass, safety glazing, insulated or monolithic makeup, coatings, tint, heat treatment, setting blocks, gaskets, square-cut or beveled bead, glass weight, glass availability, and glazing responsibility.

• Mid rails and bottom rails: Coordinate rail height, 10-inch bottom-rail requirements, push-bar or panic-hardware location, accessibility, kick protection, glass sizes, owner standards, door weight, and architectural appearance.

• Water and threshold conditions: The D500 has limited-water testing, but a swinging entrance door is not a fully sealed fixed-window opening. Coordinate vestibules, overhangs, sweeps, thresholds, drainage, sealants, adjacent floor elevations, exterior exposure, maintenance, and water-management expectations.

• Entrance framing and adjacent storefront: Coordinate frame type, sidelites, transoms, entrance conditions, surrounding storefront series, mullions, adaptors, anchors, perimeter seals, rough-opening dimensions, and non-thermal system continuity.

• Finish and hardware appearance: Coordinate painted or anodized finish, color samples, door frame, surrounding storefront, hardware finish, thresholds, fasteners, accessories, adjacent metals, protection, cleaning, and touch-up requirements.

• Installation and adjustment: Verify field dimensions, frame plumb and square, anchoring, threshold sealant, hardware attachment, glazing, door clearances, closer adjustment, pivot or hinge adjustment, weathering, final cleaning, and protection using approved project documents.

• Shipping and installation sorting: Provide required delivery date, door and frame quantities, opening numbers, handing, hardware sets, packaging, site access, storage conditions, installation sequence, and opening-by-opening presorting requirements.
