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 Milton from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Milton 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 Milton buildings do
The sectors that dominate Milton — distribution centres, logistics, manufacturing — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
Distribution centres
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.
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.
New-build construction
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.
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.
Food & pharma 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.

Common questions about hollow metal & steel doors
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.
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.
Do you repair steel doors, or only replace them?
We repair them, and most of our steel-door calls are repairs. Frames get straightened and re-anchored, rusted bottom rails cut out and new sections welded in, hinges and closers replaced, latches and strikes realigned, and kick plates and astragals fitted. A hollow metal opening is worth repairing precisely because every part of it is a part — replacement is the answer when the frame is beyond straightening or the leaf has rusted through.
