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 Bolton from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Bolton 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 Bolton buildings do
The sectors that dominate Bolton — advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution, construction and trades — 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.
Logistics and distribution
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.
Construction and trades
Steel doors are a schedule rather than a purchase: every opening listed with its size, hand, frame profile and hardware prep, because nothing can be cut into a leaf after it is made. Welded frames go in with the block and knock-downs into finished drywall later, so the order the site runs in decides which you buy.
Retail 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.
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.
Healthcare & clinics
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.

Common questions about hollow metal & steel doors
What is the difference between a hollow metal door and a steel door?
In commercial work, nothing — hollow metal is what the trade calls a commercial steel door, and the two terms are used interchangeably on drawings and in quotes. A "commercial-grade" door means exactly this assembly: a steel leaf built to an ANSI/SDI level, hung in a steel frame, prepped at the factory for commercial hardware. The distinction worth making is against residential steel entry doors: those are an insulated slab in a wood or composite frame, sold as a finished unit, and they are not built for continuous traffic, commercial hardware or a fire label. They are a different product with a different price, and we supply those too — ask for the residential line rather than this one.
What is the rough opening for a double steel door?
For a hollow metal frame with a standard two-inch face, the masonry opening is the nominal pair width plus four inches and the nominal height plus two inches — two inches of frame face at each jamb, one at the head. A 6'0" by 7'0" pair therefore needs roughly a 6'4" by 7'2" masonry opening. Crews working to a field-shimmed tolerance add about another half inch of width and a quarter inch of height so the frame can be plumbed rather than forced into place. The arithmetic uses the pair width, not the width of one leaf, and it should be confirmed against the frame schedule before the wall is built.
What type of doors are best suited for exterior commercial use?
A galvannealed hollow metal door in a galvannealed welded frame, in 16 gauge or heavier where the traffic warrants it. The zinc-iron coating is what survives a salted Ontario winter; a factory-primed door left at an exterior opening will rust along the bottom rail within a season or two. Add a sweep and threshold so water leaves the opening, a thermal break where the space behind the door is heated, and stainless rather than paint where washdown or chemicals are involved. Aluminum and glass belong at the front of the building where appearance matters; steel belongs everywhere the door has a job other than being looked at.
