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 Hamilton from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Hamilton 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.

We install what we supply, and we supply on its own: contractors in Hamilton 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 Hamilton buildings do
The sectors that dominate Hamilton — healthcare and social assistance, steel and primary metals manufacturing, agribusiness and food processing — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
Healthcare and social assistance
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.
Steel and primary metals 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.
Agribusiness and 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.
Freight 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.
Life sciences and biotechnology
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.
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.

Common questions about hollow metal & steel doors
Do steel doors rust in a Canadian winter?
A primed steel door left unpainted at an exterior opening will, particularly along the bottom rail where salt and meltwater sit. The specification that prevents it is galvannealed steel — a zinc-iron coating bonded to the sheet before the door is made, which paint holds to and which keeps rusting from spreading under a scratch. We specify galvannealed on every exterior opening and stainless where washdown or chemicals are involved.
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.
What gauge are commercial steel doors?
18-gauge face sheets are the commercial standard, with 16-gauge used where traffic or abuse is heavy and 20-gauge limited to light interior duty. Frames run the other way: 16-gauge is the usual interior frame and 14-gauge the exterior and heavy-duty one. Lower number, thicker steel. The ANSI/SDI A250.8 levels are the shorthand the trade uses — Level 1 through Level 4, standard duty to maximum duty.
