Commercial Door Toronto | Installation & Replacement for Property Managers, Office Towers, Storefronts & Warehouses Across the GTA

Full door packages for new construction, tenant fit-outs and major renovations, priced and installed as one Division 8 trade. We review the architect's hardware schedule against the drawings, catch handing and undercut conflicts before submittals, then set hollow metal or aluminum frames before boarding and hang leaves at finish stage. Hardware runs on ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 lines such as Von Duprin, LCN and Schlage, and rated stair or corridor openings get labelled NFPA 80 assemblies. Written CAD spec within 2 business days of site measure, install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

A general contractor on a 3-storey Liberty Village office build handed us the full Division 8 package: 22 leaves, hollow metal frames and 2 rated stair doors. Frames went in before boarding so drywall never waited, and the door scope closed with zero deficiencies at occupancy.

Swing door operators from Dorma, Besam, Stanley and Record fitted to new or existing commercial doors. Before anything is ordered we weigh the door, check hinges or pivots and measure header depth, then spec the right class: low-energy under ANSI/BHMA A156.19 for most public entrances, full-energy under A156.10 with sensors for heavy traffic. Push plate actuators, touchless wave-to-open sensors and battery backup are spelled out per door. Opening force and timing are tested before handover. Written CAD spec in 2 business days, install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

A King West bank facilities PM needed operators on 14 branch entrances without closing the branches. We sent the CAD scope on day 3, mounted Dorma 8616 units before opening hours, force-tested every door, and closed the install on day 18 with no callbacks since.

Complete automatic sliding entrances from Record, Besam and Horton: header, operator, sliding and sidelite panels, sensors and threshold delivered as one package. Breakout panels keep the opening compliant as an egress route, BEA or Optex sensors are laid out to ANSI/BHMA A156.10, and hold-open and speed are set for Toronto winters so vestibules do not turn into wind tunnels. Single-slide and bi-parting configurations for grocery, medical and big-box retail. Written CAD spec within 2 business days of site measure, install typically 10-14 business days from sign-off.

A Richmond Hill medical building replaced heavy manual doors with a Record bi-parting slider. Breakout panels, sensors and a heated threshold were all listed in the written spec, and the property manager noted the install matched it exactly.

New aluminum storefront systems for retail podiums, plazas and fit-outs, with framing, glazing and entrance doors from one trade. We work with Kawneer Trifab, YKK AP and Oldcastle profiles in 6063-T6 aluminum, thermally broken where the space is heated, and spec 1-inch sealed IGUs or safety glass to CAN/CGSB-12.1 at doors and sidelites. The written CAD spec lists glass makeup, anchor spacing, transom lites and threshold details before anything is ordered. Install typically 10-14 business days from sign-off once fabrication lands, with a crew of three.

A retail developer on Queen West needed three storefront bays delivered for a fixed tenant date. We took the Kawneer framing, glazing and entrances as one package, inspections passed first time, and the bays were ready for turnover on the agreed day.

Aluminum entrance doors for office lobbies, storefronts and clinics from Kawneer 350/500, YKK AP and Vistawall. Stile width is matched to traffic and hardware: narrow stile for light retail, medium or wide stile where exit devices, electric strikes or an operator need room. We confirm offset pivots or continuous geared hinges, a concealed overhead closer or surface closer, and Adams Rite or rim exit devices before ordering. An AODA operator can be added in the same scope. Clear or dark bronze anodized finishes. Install typically 10-14 business days from sign-off.

Facility ops at a Yonge and Sheppard office building replaced a failing bronze entrance with a medium stile Kawneer pair and a barrier-free operator. Push-force passed the first walkthrough and the inspector signed on the spot.

Hollow metal door and frame packages specified opening by opening: 16-gauge galvannealed steel for exterior and high-abuse doors, 18-gauge cold-rolled for interior, with polystyrene, polyurethane or steel-stiffened cores to suit insulation and impact. Frames are welded for masonry or knockdown for drywall, with hardware preps matched to the schedule and ASA strike preps where the lock needs them. We follow ANSI/SDI A250.8 and Steel Door Institute guidance on anchors and reinforcement. Written CAD spec in 2 business days, install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

A Concord distribution operator wanted one door standard across two warehouses. We installed galvanized hollow metal doors with push bars at both sites on one invoice, with a written warranty on every leaf and no building left unsecured overnight.

Direct replacement of worn or failed commercial doors in offices, plazas, warehouses and condo common areas. Every frame is checked for square, anchor condition and base rust so the spec can say plainly which frames are reused. Existing hardware is transferred or upgraded to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, handing and preps are matched, and new weatherstrip and thresholds go on exterior doors. Swaps run after hours in occupied buildings, and portfolio work is grouped into one written spec with a price range per opening for capital planning. We direct-bill major commercial property insurance claims.

A portfolio PM with four office buildings along Highway 401 had a backlog of worn doors. We grouped them by type in one written spec, phased swaps over two budget quarters after hours, and door work orders dropped right after the first phase.

Replacement of the storefront door leaf without replacing the whole storefront. We check frame square, offset pivot or butt hinge prep and profile compatibility with Kawneer, Vistawall and similar framing, then fabricate a full-lite aluminum leaf with tempered safety glass to fit the existing opening. The Adams Rite deadlock, pulls and closer are transferred or upgraded, and a new threshold and door sweep go in where the old ones have worn. Swaps happen before opening hours, so the shop never loses a selling day. Fabrication lead time plus a half-day swap.

A Leslieville cafe owner had a sagging storefront door but a perfectly good frame. We fabricated a new full-lite leaf to the existing opening, and the swap was done before the cafe opened, about two weeks from measure to install.

Hollow metal direct swaps for warehouses, plazas, plants and service corridors where the frame is sound but the door is finished. Exterior doors move to 16-gauge galvannealed steel with polyurethane insulated cores, interior doors to prime-coat, and every leaf is prepped to match existing hinge reinforcement and strike locations so hardware transfers cleanly. New door sweeps, thermal thresholds and weatherstrip stop the drafts. We source Steelcraft and Ceco Door leaves and schedule swaps between shifts so production never stops. Install typically 7-10 business days from sign-off.

A Meadowvale plant had three rusted steel doors letting winter drafts into the shipping office. Every frame checked out square, so we swapped in galvanized hollow metal leaves with new sweeps and thresholds between shifts. The drafts are gone.

Frames are behind a lot of door problems: jambs bent by forklifts, bases rusted through by salt, anchors pulled loose from drywall or masonry. We choose retrofit frames or full removal based on the wall type and rating, then rehang the existing door if it is sound or supply a new leaf. Welded masonry frames are grouted and anchored, knockdown drywall frames use proper jamb and base anchors, and strike reinforcement is set for the hardware. Rated frames keep their label. Written CAD spec within 2 business days, install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

An Etobicoke industrial unit had a frame bent so badly by a forklift that the door would not latch. We cut it out, set a new welded hollow metal frame and hung a new door, and the opening is square again.

Broken, cracked or non-compliant glass doors and door lites replaced with the right safety glass for the opening. We explain tempered versus laminated in plain terms, confirm CAN/CGSB-12.1 safety glazing at doors and sidelites, and check the etch label on every lite. Low-E sealed IGUs go where insulation matters. Glazing stops, gaskets and continuous hinges are replaced where they have failed, and glass lead times are quoted honestly up front. We coordinate insurance paperwork and direct-bill major commercial property insurance claims. Glass lead time plus a one-day install.

A Financial District office PM had a cracked lobby glass door. We replaced it with laminated safety glass, explained why laminated suited a busy lobby better than tempered, and the replacement arrived exactly on the lead time we quoted.

Labelled fire-rated assemblies installed to NFPA 80 and tested to CAN/ULC-S104 and UL 10C positive pressure: rated door, labelled frame, rated closer, positive latching and any rated ceramic glass or intumescent gasket. Clearances are held to the 1/8-inch tolerance at the head and jambs, steel astragals go on rated pairs, and every opening is photographed with its labels for the Ontario Fire Code inspector. We also clear fire inspection deficiency orders, separating doors that can be corrected from assemblies that must be replaced under OBC Part 3. Written CAD spec within 2 business days.

A Richmond Hill condo board had twelve stair and corridor doors on a fire inspection order. We separated correctable doors from replacements, installed 90-minute labelled assemblies on the stair shafts, documented every label, and the order was closed at re-inspection.

Exit door and exit device replaced together so the opening meets OBC egress and the Ontario Fire Code. Panic hardware is sized to the occupant load, rated doors get fire exit hardware such as Von Duprin 98/99 rim or surface vertical rod devices, and exit signage and clear widths are checked. Work is phased with same-day hangs so at least one exit per floor is open at all times, which matters in schools, offices and restaurants that cannot close. The written scope lists hardware and egress details ahead of the inspection sign-off visit. Install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

A private school in Agincourt needed four exit doors replaced during March break while staff were still on site. We phased the work so one exit per floor was always open, and fire department sign-off was quick because the scope already listed every device.

Our only fast-response service. After a break-in, smash-and-grab, vehicle impact or storm damage, call the same line after hours and a crew secures the opening the same day with bolted and braced 3/4-inch CDX plywood, carriage bolts through the frame and tension bracing, creating a temporary weather-tight enclosure. Damage is photographed for your insurer, and within 2 business days you get a written install plan and CAD quote for the permanent door or laminated replacement glass. We direct-bill major commercial property insurance claims.

A Queen West retailer called after a 2am break-in. The storefront was boarded overnight, damage photos went to the insurer the next morning, and a written install plan for the new door arrived within two business days.

Exit devices retrofitted onto existing steel, aluminum and rated doors: Von Duprin 98/99, Adams Rite 8800 and Hager 4500 series in rim, surface vertical rod, concealed vertical rod or mortise configurations. We match the device to the door construction, stile width and rating, so rated doors get fire exit hardware with no dogging and unrated doors can have hex-key dogging for business hours. Lever trim, cylinder functions and strike reinforcement are listed per door, and every device is fit and latch tested before we leave. Install typically 5-10 business days from sign-off.

A Woodbridge manufacturing plant needed exit devices on three existing steel doors. We checked each door for reinforcement, fitted Von Duprin rim devices with matched trim, and the inspector had no notes on the follow-up visit.

Commercial closers from Dorma, LCN and Norton installed or replaced and sized to the actual door weight and wind exposure. We choose the arm for the door and frame, regular, parallel or hold-open, and set sweep speed, latch speed and backcheck so lobby doors stop slamming in summer and still latch against winter stack pressure. LCN 4040XP, Dorma 8900 and Norton 7500 surface closers are typical, with concealed overhead closers on aluminum entrances and all-weather fluid on exterior doors. Rated doors get rated closers. Install typically 3-7 business days from sign-off.

A Mississauga office PM was getting complaints about slamming lobby doors and corridor doors that would not latch on windy days. We fitted LCN closers sized to each door and set backcheck and latch speed, and the complaints stopped.

Hardware schedules built first, then installed: Rockwood, Trimco and Ives push/pull handles and plates, Schlage L9000 and Yale mortise locksets or cylindrical lever locks, 12/24VDC electric strikes and 1200lb mag-locks, all keyed to the building plan with matching satin stainless US32D or other finishes across every door. We check frame preps and door reinforcement before ordering so strikes line up and locks fit without field drilling. Most brands are sourced within 7 business days. Written CAD spec in 2 business days, install typically 5-10 business days from sign-off.

A Financial District law office wanted matching hardware across its suite. We built a hardware schedule first, sourced lever sets, two electric strikes and reception pulls in a week, and installed over a weekend with a keying chart for building security.

Credential access on commercial doors using Kantech readers and keypads with FOB credentials, with the door side handled end to end. Each door gets the right locking for its frame: an electromagnetic lock or a fail-secure electric strike, plus a request-to-exit sensor, a door position switch, a power supply and fire alarm release where the door is in a path of egress. A keyed bypass is included for power loss. The written spec includes a fail-safe and fail-secure schedule for every door, so building management and the fire inspector know exactly how each one behaves. Install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

A King West coworking operator added FOB access to eleven doors across two floors. We matched mag-locks or strikes to each frame, added request-to-exit and alarm release, and members switched over on a Monday with no lockouts.

Barrier-free door operators retrofitted on existing public entrances to the AODA Design of Public Spaces standards and OBC 3.8 barrier-free rules. Low-energy operators such as the Norton 5700 and LCN 9500 are mounted on sound doors, and push plate or bollard-mounted actuators go on both sides at reachable heights with clear approach space along the accessible path of travel. Opening force is tested and recorded before handover, so the entrance is ready for accessibility review. Clinics, community centres, churches, offices and plazas. Install typically 7-14 business days from sign-off.

A Bathurst Manor community clinic needed an operator with push buttons on both sides. We measured approach clearances, mounted bollard actuators at the right heights, tested opening force, and the accessibility review passed on the first visit.
