Commercial Wood Doors for Prior Lake MN Properties

You manage a 1970s retail strip on Highway 13 in Prior Lake. Two of the main entry doors won’t close flush anymore; the wood swelled after a wet spring, and now the deadbolt won’t engage. The fire inspector is scheduled next month. Do you repair, replace, or upgrade to a different material? This exact scenario plays out across Minnesota every year, and commercial wood doors are often the culprit—simply because they were installed without accounting for local humidity or were never specified with the right fire rating.

Choosing the right commercial wood doors for your Prior Lake property is about more than aesthetics. It affects building safety, code compliance, insurance premiums, and long-term maintenance costs. This guide will help you understand wood door types, Minnesota-specific requirements, realistic pricing in the Prior Lake market, and how to find a contractor who gets it right the first time.
