Broken hollow metal & steel doors in Aurora: we dispatch 24/7.
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.
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 Aurora from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Aurora 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.
Supplying hollow metal doors in Aurora — the price and the date
We install what we supply, and we supply on its own: contractors in Aurora who hang their own doors buy leaves, frames and hardware from us as one package, prepped to the schedule.

Hollow metal doors for the work Aurora buildings do
The sectors that dominate Aurora — advanced manufacturing, food processing and logistics, financial and corporate services — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
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.
Food processing and logistics
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.
Financial and corporate services
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.
Health and medtech
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.
Retail & storefronts
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.
Get hollow metal doors quoted in Aurora
Give us the sizes, whether the frame is staying, and what the opening has to put up with — weather, washdown, forklifts. A door schedule or a photo of the existing frame is enough to quote from. If a door is off its hinges or will not lock, call 800-522-6825 — the line is answered 24 hours.
Common questions about hollow metal & steel doors
Do you repair steel doors, or only replace them?
We repair them, and most of our steel-door calls are repairs. Frames get straightened and re-anchored, rusted bottom rails cut out and new sections welded in, hinges and closers replaced, latches and strikes realigned, and kick plates and astragals fitted. A hollow metal opening is worth repairing precisely because every part of it is a part — replacement is the answer when the frame is beyond straightening or the leaf has rusted through.
How long does a steel door take to arrive?
Typically 4–6 weeks to produce a door and frame once the shop drawings are approved, then 1–2 weeks to schedule the job and install it, depending on the size of the project. Stock-size doors in a common gauge and prep can be much faster; rated assemblies, custom sizes, galvannealed and stainless leaves and anything with unusual hardware prep set the schedule. Once it arrives, one door and frame is usually a day's work on site, while a full door schedule on a construction project runs for several weeks.
What are the disadvantages of a steel door?
Weight, thermal bridging, and the fact that dents stay. A 16-gauge leaf is heavy enough to need a correctly sized closer and hinges that actually get maintained, steel conducts cold unless the assembly is thermally broken, and a door hit by a pallet truck keeps the dent until the section is cut out and re-welded. It is also plainer than wood or glass, which is why it is specified for back-of-house rather than for a lobby. Against that: it holds its shape, it can carry a fire label, and every part of it can be repaired in place — which is why it remains the default commercial opening in Ontario.
