We work throughout Burlington — Burlington Business Park, Harvester Road corridor, Aldershot and North Service Road. The buildings here are mostly manufacturing, food processing and logistics, and each puts different demands on a door: traffic volume, insurance and fire requirements, and how much downtime an opening can afford. Burlington’s 186,948 residents keep those buildings busy.

Broken shutter, grille or gate in Burlington: we dispatch 24/7.
Burlington is roughly a 35-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.
Which closure fits the opening
We specify to the opening rather than to one catalogue, and we service any make. Most of what goes on a Burlington building comes from three manufacturers — Pentagon, MobilFlex and Emart — and the opening usually decides which one before the budget does.
Pentagon security shutters — storefronts, counters and houses
Pentagon build rolling security shutters in three lines, and between them they cover a shop front, a counter and a house window. We supply, install and service all three in Burlington, and we carry the parts that fail first.
MobilFlex rolling and side-folding closures
MobilFlex, from Québec, build the closures on mall units, bank lobbies, airport shops and school serveries — the ones that must lock a space in Burlington and still let people see into it. They come two ways: rolling up into a coil, or folding sideways into a stack at the jamb, and which one suits an opening in Burlington is usually decided by the headroom above it.
Emart expandable security gates
An expandable, or scissor, gate is the simplest closure there is: a steel lattice that pulls across the opening and folds back to a narrow stack at the side. Emart Factory, a Toronto supplier on Magnetic Drive, sell them for storefronts, pharmacies, warehouses and homes, and we measure, fit and repair them in Burlington — most often on a back door or a unit in Burlington with no room for a coil.
Inside the glass, outside it, or not allowed at all in Burlington
Three positions are possible and they are not equally available. What a Burlington tenant may fit is often settled by somebody else before price is discussed at all.
Security shutters on houses and cottages in Burlington
Houses are a real part of this work: basement and ground-floor windows, a cottage closed for the winter, a garage, a sliding patio door. Two products do most of it.
A shutter slows a break-in down; it does not stop one
No grille, gate or shutter makes a building in Burlington impossible to get into. What it does is turn a ten-second smash-and-grab into a noisy job with tools — and that time is only worth something if the rest of the building uses it. Treat the closure as one layer of a security plan for the Burlington property, not the plan itself.
What a shutter or grille costs in Burlington, and what moves the number
Everything here is built to a measured opening, so there is no list price to quote. Three things move a number more than width does.
After hours, when it will not go up — on any make
A shutter jammed down is a business in Burlington that cannot open, and one jammed up is a business that cannot close. We repair Pentagon, MobilFlex and Emart closures and most other makes in Burlington, whoever installed them.

Shutters and grilles for the work Burlington buildings do
The sectors that dominate Burlington — manufacturing, food processing, logistics — each have something different to shut away, and a different hour to do it in.
Manufacturing
A plant closes fewer openings than it protects: the tool crib, the maintenance store, the office window onto the shop floor. A shutter over a service counter goes up at shift change and down at the end of it — which means the operation matters more than the specification, and a crank in an awkward corner gets left open.
Food processing
Anywhere a shutter meets a wash-down or a controlled area the finish is the whole question — mill finish aluminum, powder coat, or stainless where it is hosed. Counter shutters over serveries and dispensaries close the opening without closing the room, and the guides have to be cleanable rather than merely cleaned.
Logistics
Rolling steel shutters close the openings a dock leaves behind — the man door beside the levelers, the parts cage, the yard-facing window run. Inside, a folding grille shuts a high-value aisle off from the pick floor without walling it in. Motorised is worth it wherever the curtain is over about ten feet wide.
Corporate offices
Reception hatches, mail rooms, server and comms cupboards, the coffee bar that shuts at three. Small openings, and the ones people actually operate every day — so a counter shutter with a decent lift and a proper lock beats a big shutter specified for a door somebody props open instead.
Condos & property management
Parking entries, bike and locker rooms, amenity counters and the party room bar. The board’s problem is usually not the first fitting but the eleventh year — a curtain nobody has serviced, a motor with no manual override, and a shutter stuck half down across the only vehicle entrance at seven in the morning.
Hotels & hospitality
Bars, poolside servery hatches and shop units inside the lobby, all of which shut while the building stays awake. Noise matters more here than anywhere else: a curtain running in worn guides above a guest room is a complaint, and it is usually the guides rather than the curtain.

Common questions about security shutters & grilles
Should a security shutter go inside or outside?
Inside where you can. An interior shutter is out of the weather, out of reach of vandalism and graffiti, keeps the shopfront looking like a shopfront, and rarely needs a permit or landlord approval for appearance. Exterior mounting wins when there is no interior room for the coil and guides, when the glass itself needs protecting from impact rather than the goods behind it, or when the opening has no glazing at all. Heritage and BIA districts often have a view on this, and it is worth asking before ordering.
Can security shutters be fitted to a house?
Yes. Rolling shutters go on basement and ground-floor windows, patio and entry doors, garages and cottages closed for the winter, and Pentagon build a residential line for exactly that. For a sliding patio door an expandable folding gate locked from inside is the simpler option. Any window or door that is a way out in a fire has to stay openable from inside, which we check before quoting.
Can you service a shutter another company installed?
Yes — most of the shutters we look after came from somebody else. Slats, guides, bottom bars, locks, springs and motors are largely cross-compatible or can be matched, which is not true of automatic door operators. Where a curtain is genuinely beyond economical repair we will say so and quote a replacement against the guides and structure you already have, which is much less expensive than starting from nothing.
