Welcome to “The Hidden Costs,” the podcast uncovering the everyday money traps NYC business owners overlook—until they explode into massive expenses. In this episode, we shine a light on one of the most underestimated threats to your bottom line: your commercial front door.
From slow-moving warehouse doors to shaky storefront security gates, even the smallest malfunction can create energy loss, safety hazards, workflow disruptions, and major security risks. We break down how a misaligned seal can raise utility bills, how a noisy rolling gate can turn into a midnight emergency, and why automated doors must pass strict safety tests—like reversing when they hit a 1.5-inch object—to avoid liability.

✨ How minor door issues silently drain thousands in energy costs
