Understanding Commercial Doors
Commercial doors carry a building's security and accessibility. Unlike home doors, they're built from heavier materials such as 16-gauge steel, anodized aluminum and tempered glass, they open hundreds or thousands of times a day, and many must meet fire and accessibility codes.
Door types we service:
- Aluminum and glass storefronts: Clean, modern entrances that show off your business.
- Hollow metal doors: Fire-rated steel doors for rear exits and industrial openings.
- Automatic swing operators: Push-button openers for accessible entrances. Learn more
- Sliding glass doors: Space-saving doors for offices and patios. Learn more
Why Professional Repair Matters
A misaligned door or leaking closer is a security risk and a liability. We focus on preventive maintenance and hardware upgrades for closers, panic bars and pivots, so small problems are fixed before they shut a door down.
Same-Day and 24/7 Service
Break-in damage or a door that won't lock? We offer 24/7 emergency board-up and repair.

Common Hardware Problems
- Door closer failure: Leaking hydraulic fluid, slamming, or doors that won't latch.
- Pivot and hinge wear: Doors that drag or hit the frame, usually worn offset pivots or continuous hinges.
- Panic bar faults: Exit devices and push bars that stick or don't retract, which affects emergency exits.
We stock the parts for most problems, from broken glass to jammed locks.
Rolling Steel Doors
Rolling steel doors, security grilles and counter shutters in warehouses, malls and parkades need specialized tensioning and slat replacement. We carry replacement slats, bottom bars and heavy-duty springs to keep your shipping doors open.
