Opening the Door to Innovation!
About Us
Titan Specialty Doors has been exceeding the demands of our customers in the government, aerospace, entertainment and energy sectors for decades. To better serve your needs, each project is assigned a "Project Specialist" who is well versed in all aspects of project management and engineering. Our team is dedicated to working with you on every step of the project from the first sketches and ideas to the final nut and bolt.
In addition to our own in-house fabrication capabilities, our roster of quality vendors across the country ensures that we can provide our products to you as quickly and efficiently as possible while reducing shipping costs and potential delays. Each has been specially chosen for its quality fabrication, service, and attention to detail.
Our work does not end when the project ends but continues with extensive product training and optional preventative maintenance programs specific to your door's function to keep them running in perfect order for years to come. In addition, should you have other doors that have stopped working or are not functioning as you need them to, we also specialize in door refurbishment and repair.
Though our name may be new, the principles of Titan Specialty Doors are well recognized in the industry from working on some of the most sophisticated door installations worldwide. These projects include some of the largest ever designed, manufactured, and installed. Contact us today to find out how we can put that experience to work for you.
