Aluminum storefront framing, and which series an opening in Hamilton takes
Framing is bought by series, and three things separate one from the next: how deep the frame is, where the glass sits in that depth, and how the corners go together. None of it shows from the pavement; all of it sets the price.
The hardware in a storefront entrance, and what goes first
The glass and the framing almost never fail. What wears out on an entrance in Hamilton is the ironmongery holding the leaf up and pulling it shut, and that is what most storefront service calls turn out to be.
Why a storefront leaks, and it is almost never the glass
Aluminum framing is a drained system, not a sealed one. Water gets past the outer face, runs down an internal gutter behind the glazing pocket and leaves through weeps at the sill. When it shows up inside, one of those three stages has been interrupted — and new glass fixes none of them.
What a 25-year-old Hamilton storefront needs, and in what order
Most ground-floor elevations we are asked to price in Hamilton do not need replacing. The useful question at the survey is which three or four things are due now, and in what order.
Supplying a storefront in Hamilton: the price and the date
We install what we supply and we supply on its own — contractors in Hamilton who hang their own buy the package cut and prepped to the schedule. Four things move the number more than size does.

Storefronts 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 put a different kind of traffic through the front of the building.
Healthcare and social assistance
A clinic entrance is judged on whether a patient can get through it: clear width, opening force and a power operator, with the framing built to carry the operator header from the start. Adding one afterwards to framing that was never drawn for it is the expensive version of the same door.
Steel and primary metals manufacturing
A plant’s storefront is the front office bolted onto a steel building, and the two halves age differently. The framing is usually sound; what lets water in is the joint where aluminum meets precast. The elevation can be rebuilt without touching the production wall behind it.
Agribusiness and food processing
Front-of-house glazing on a processing plant is a controlled entrance: an aluminum entry into a vestibule, sidelites either side, and hardware that latches every time because the room past it is pressure-controlled. Anodized rather than painted — the finish gets washed as often as the floor does.
Freight and logistics
The elevation on a distribution building is the office end of it — a glazed entrance and a window band onto the visitor lot, everything behind it steel. It sees less traffic than a shop door and more abuse than anyone plans for, because it is also the door drivers come through with paperwork in both hands.
Life sciences and biotechnology
A business-park elevation is the whole ground floor — entrance doors, a transom above and a window band running either side, thermally broken where the lobby is heated. Tenant turnover is what brings us back: a new sign, a new cylinder, and often a new entrance in an existing frame.
Retail & storefronts
This is the opening the system was drawn for: a narrow-stile leaf, the widest glass the opening allows, and a closer sized to the door traffic rather than to the frame. The work happens after close, bay by bay and hoarded overnight, so the store trades in the morning.

Tell us the elevation — its rough width and height, whether the framing is staying, and what your trading hours are, because the sequence is most of the price. A photo from across the street is enough to start. Working from drawings? Send the glazing and door schedules and we quote to them.
Common questions about storefront doors & glass
What is the standard storefront door size?
The common commercial single leaf is 3′0″ × 7′0″, with pairs made up to 8′0″ wide and 8′0″-tall leaves where equipment has to pass. Aluminum entrance leaves are 1¾″ thick as standard. The framing around the door is not standard at all — it is cut to your rough opening, which is why a storefront is quoted from a site measure rather than from a catalogue.
What are the different types of commercial storefront doors?
Four cover almost every storefront. A narrow-stile aluminum door gives the most glass and the slimmest look, and is the retail default. A medium- or wide-stile door carries heavier hardware — an exit device, a mortise lock, a closer taking real traffic — and is what an entrance used all day should have. An all-glass (frameless) door has no vertical stiles at all, on patch fittings. And an automatic sliding or swing door is any of the above with an operator on it, which is how a barrier-free entrance is usually answered.
Can you replace a storefront without closing the store?
Yes, and for retail it is the normal way we do it. The elevation comes out and goes back in section by section, with temporary hoarding over anything left open, and the work is scheduled overnight or on your quietest day. Say at the quote stage what your trading hours are and the sequence gets built around them — retrofitting that constraint afterwards is what turns a four-night job into a two-week one.
