Ajax is roughly a 55-minute run from our Mississauga shop — less if a technician is already in the area — so a truck is usually on site the same day.
Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
What hollow metal doors are, and when to specify one
A hollow metal door is a steel skin over a core in a welded or knock-down steel frame. It is the default choice wherever an opening has to survive traffic, weather, forced entry or a fire code requirement — back-of-house, mechanical rooms, stairwells, loading areas and exterior service doors.
The core is chosen by the opening, not by the door
Every hollow metal door looks alike from six feet away. What separates a leaf that lasts twenty years in a plant in Ajax from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Ajax does to the wrong one
Finish is the specification most often left to whoever places the order, and it decides how long the door lasts. Four answers, not interchangeable.
Frames — welded or knock-down, and the wall decides
The frame is half the assembly and most of the failures, and which one you buy is usually settled by when the wall gets built.

Hollow metal doors for the work Ajax buildings do
The sectors that dominate Ajax — logistics, warehousing, and storage, advanced manufacturing, retail trade and commercial services — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
Logistics, warehousing, and storage
The steel here is the man door beside the bay and the door onto the yard rather than the overhead itself: 16-gauge galvannealed leaves in welded frames, because both sides of them are outdoors. What ends them is the bottom twelve inches, where salt tracked off a loading pad sits all winter.
Advanced manufacturing
A plant is where a steel door earns its gauge: 16-gauge or steel-stiffened leaves on the routes carts and forklifts take, and frames grouted solid into block so a knock moves the wall instead of the jamb. Dents in steel stay, so the specification is written to make them rarer, not to hide them.
Retail trade and commercial services
The glass is at the front and the steel is at the back — the stock-room door, the door onto the service corridor, the rear exit to the lane. The rear one is the one that gets pried, so it wants a welded frame with no gap to lever against and a leaf that does not flex when someone leans on it.
Healthcare and institutional
Doors on a ward route are hit by beds and carts all day, so the leaf takes a heavier gauge, a full-height kick plate and a continuous hinge instead of three butts. Soiled utility and sterilising rooms are washed down, which puts stainless on the list for a handful of openings rather than for the whole floor.
Food & pharma processing
Paint does not survive a sanitation schedule, so these openings go stainless — leaf, frame and hardware, seams welded and ground rather than lapped. The frame is the part that gets forgotten and the part standing in the water: a stainless door in a painted frame rusts at the floor inside a year.
Offices & business parks
Every floor holds more steel than anyone counts: mechanical and electrical rooms, janitor closets, the service corridor behind the elevator lobby. After a fit-out the work is matching them — one paint colour and one frame profile across a floor that has been renovated three times in twenty years.

Common questions about hollow metal & steel doors
Can a hollow metal door be fire-rated?
Yes, and it is the usual way an opening gets its rating. A labelled hollow metal door and frame carries a rating of 20, 45, 60, 90 or 180 minutes, certified by ULC or UL, with a mineral core where the rating requires one. Every part of the assembly has to be labelled and compatible — door, frame, hinges, closer, latch and any glazing — which is why a rated opening is specified as one assembly rather than assembled from parts. The rated line is covered on our fire-rated doors pages.
Can you replace just the door and keep the existing frame?
Often, and it is the smaller job. If the frame is square, solidly anchored and not rusted through, a new leaf can be made to the existing frame's dimensions and hardware locations. What rules it out is a frame that has been pushed out of square, one whose anchors have let go in the masonry, or rust at the floor line that leaves nothing to fix a hinge to. We check the frame on the measure and tell you which of the two jobs it is.
Do steel doors rust in a Canadian winter?
A primed steel door left unpainted at an exterior opening will, particularly along the bottom rail where salt and meltwater sit. The specification that prevents it is galvannealed steel — a zinc-iron coating bonded to the sheet before the door is made, which paint holds to and which keeps rusting from spreading under a scratch. We specify galvannealed on every exterior opening and stainless where washdown or chemicals are involved.
