Aurora is roughly a 50-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.

The three overhead doors, and which one an opening in Aurora takes
Almost every commercial overhead opening is closed by one of three doors, and the building decides which, not taste. A sectional is hinged panels running up a track and folding back under the ceiling — the best-insulating door, and the usual answer at a dock position or a commercial garage. A rolling steel door is slats coiling into a barrel above the opening, so it fits where there is no room for a track. A high-speed fabric door is specified for how long the opening stands open. Most Aurora buildings have more than one.
Garage door, roll-up door or dock door — what you call it in Aurora, and what it is
Most calls from Aurora do not say overhead door. They say garage door, roll-up, bay door or dock door, and the same opening can go by any of them. The name is not what decides the repair or the replacement; the door is, so a photograph of it is the first thing we ask for.
The high-speed doors, and which kind an opening needs
A high-speed door is justified by cycle time, not purchase price: how long the opening stands open, times how often, times what crosses it. Where that is large — a plant aisle, a cooler entrance — it pays for itself on energy, contamination or throughput. Where it is not, it is the dearest way to shut an opening.
The operator is a separate decision from the door
What moves the door is quoted, installed and repaired separately from it, and chosen on the same thing: the room around the opening. It also carries the one requirement on this page that is not a preference.
What an overhead door costs in Aurora, and when we can be on site
There is no list price, because there is no stock door: every one is built to a measured opening. Two things are worth knowing first — what moves the number, and how long it takes.
After hours, when the door will not close
A door stuck open is a building that cannot be secured; a door stuck shut is a bay that cannot ship. Both are the same phone call, and most are one of these four — the commonest being a door driven into rather than a door worn out. None is a reason to force it.

Overhead doors for the work Aurora buildings do
The sectors that dominate Aurora — advanced manufacturing, food processing and logistics, financial and corporate services — each move something different through the opening, at a different rate.
Advanced manufacturing
Plant bays are where the sectional runs out of room. Structure, ducting and crane rail eat the headroom a horizontal track needs, and a rolling steel curtain coiling into a barrel above the opening is often the only door that fits. Cycle counts here are what set the spring or barrel rating, not the size of the leaf.
Food processing and logistics
A dock is the one place a door earns its money by the cycle: insulated sectionals at the levelers, glazed top panels so a driver can see the apron, and a high-speed door on the aisle behind them where the traffic never stops. Portfolios of twenty identical openings are quoted per door across the building, which is a different number from one door at a time.
Financial and corporate services
What an office building has is a parking entrance and a loading door in the P1 level, and both are usually the least maintained doors on the site until one of them jams. Headroom below a slab is the constraint, so these are often low-headroom track or a rolling curtain, and the gate at the ramp is on its own cycle count in the thousands.
Health and medtech
A hospital or clinic runs its overhead doors out of sight — receiving, the waste dock, central stores, the generator bay. They are on the same 24-hour footing as the rest of the building, which is why they get a maintenance schedule rather than a repair call: an opening that will not close is a security and an infection-control problem at once.
Food & pharma processing
This is the one sector that buys high-speed doors for a reason other than traffic. A fabric curtain that clears the opening in seconds keeps a temperature zone, a pressure differential or a dust separation intact in a way a slow door cannot, and the self-repairing kind gets back into its guides after a pallet truck clips it instead of stopping the line.
Retail & storefronts
Retail overhead work is the back of the building, not the front: a receiving door onto the service court, and a drive-through or car-wash bay on a quick-service site. Both are exterior openings on a wall the public can see, so the finish matters more than it does on a plant, and a stuck door means deliveries stack up in the lane.
Get an overhead door quoted in Aurora
Give us the opening width and height, how much room there is above it and to each side, and whether the space behind it is heated — that is enough to say which door it takes and to price it. Doors on a loading dock or in a drive-through are usually quoted per opening across the building. Door stuck open or shut? Call 800-522-6825 — the line is answered 24 hours.
Common questions about overhead doors
How long does a commercial overhead door last?
The door itself often outlives everything on it. What wears out is the moving parts — springs, cables, rollers, hinges and the operator — and their life is measured in cycles rather than years. A door cycling ten times a day and one cycling two hundred times a day are on completely different schedules even though they look identical. This is why cycle count is the first question we ask, and why high-cycle springs are worth their extra cost on a busy opening.
How long does a new overhead door take?
Plan on roughly 2–4 weeks to manufacture once the measure and any shop drawings are approved, then 1–2 weeks to schedule the crew — so about 3–6 weeks in total. Doors are made to your opening, so there is no stock unit to pull off a shelf. Repairs are a different matter entirely: cables, rollers and door hardware are carried on the trucks and are usually a same-visit fix, and a failed operator is replaced rather than rebuilt. Springs are the one exception — every commercial spring is wound to its own door, which takes 1–2 days, so a spring replacement is two visits. Installing one door is usually a day on site, and a new building's full set of overhead doors is phased over several weeks with the general contractor.
How much does a commercial overhead door cost?
The honest answer is that the range is too wide for a "from" price to help anyone: a small uninsulated roll-up in a shop wall and a wind-rated insulated sectional with an operator and safety package are different orders of magnitude. What moves it most is type, size, insulation, wind rating and whether it is powered. We measure the opening and send a firm, itemised quote at no charge — and we will tell you when the less expensive door is genuinely the right one.
