aluminum frame construction includes also some AL door jams . Naturally when I saw them I said ALUMINUM .50 #
So in reality they must be worth more then scrap ...... a piece of glass that size is worth $150 to $200
(new) but heck . I know I'll end up dismantling and selling the AL . the glass ?? ends as trash
Any tips ???
I've done a fair amount of commercial construction over the years ...public bldgs, businesses, hospitals, etc. Everything that goes in for doors has to meet fire code & life safety code. The stuff is quite pricey. A lot of times it's like Mercedes Benz quality ? Just guessing but just the push bar unit alone could run 300.00 - 400.00 $ these days ?
I have no idea if there's a market out there looking to buy used commercial doors & hardware. If there is, then the value of the commercial items would be quite a bit more than scrap.
It would be important to do the removal as carefully as possible. Condition is everything.
