Broken hollow metal & steel doors 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.
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 Burlington from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Burlington 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 Burlington buildings do
The sectors that dominate Burlington — manufacturing, food processing, logistics — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
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
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.
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.
Corporate offices
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.
Condos & property management
These are the doors a manager replaces one at a time: garbage and locker rooms, roof access, and the door off the parking ramp that takes every winter’s salt off the cars. That one goes first and always at the bottom rail — worth galvannealed, and worth a frame that can be cut out and rewelded at grade.
Hotels & hospitality
Guests never see this half of the building: kitchen and servery doors, the service corridor, receiving, and the stair down to the loading area. They run all night and they take carts, and they are usually changed during a refurbishment while a floor is closed anyway — which is the least expensive time to do it.

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 a hollow metal door?
Two formed steel face sheets welded or interlocked around a core, hung in a steel frame. The name describes how it is built rather than what is inside it — the cavity is filled with honeycomb, polystyrene, polyurethane, mineral board or steel stiffeners depending on what the opening has to do. It is the standard commercial door in Ontario because it is dimensionally stable, can carry a fire label, and every part of it can be repaired in place.
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.
