Commercial Door Hardware & Access Control Installation in Toronto

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.
