Broken hollow metal & steel doors in Orillia: we dispatch 24/7.
Orillia is roughly a 105-minute run from our Mississauga shop — less if a technician is already in the area. Planned work, measures and maintenance travel there without difficulty; on a middle-of-the-night emergency we will tell you the drive time on the phone, and what to do to make the opening safe until we arrive.
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 Orillia from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Orillia 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.
Supplying hollow metal doors in Orillia — the price and the date

Hollow metal doors for the work Orillia buildings do
The sectors that dominate Orillia — public institutional administration, healthcare, regional service and retail — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
Public institutional administration
A school corridor is the hardest wear a steel door gets — leaned on, kicked, wedged open — and the answer is gauge and a properly anchored frame rather than a better closer. The other half of the job is the odd sizes an older wing was built to, which is why none of it is quoted from a catalogue.
Healthcare
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.
Regional service and retail
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.
Light and medium 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.
Offices & business parks
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.

Give us the sizes, whether the frame is staying, and what the opening has to put up with — weather, washdown, forklifts. A door schedule or a photo of the existing frame is enough to quote from. If a door is off its hinges or will not lock, call 800-522-6825 — the line is answered 24 hours.
Common questions about hollow metal & steel doors
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 is the rough opening for a double steel door?
For a hollow metal frame with a standard two-inch face, the masonry opening is the nominal pair width plus four inches and the nominal height plus two inches — two inches of frame face at each jamb, one at the head. A 6'0" by 7'0" pair therefore needs roughly a 6'4" by 7'2" masonry opening. Crews working to a field-shimmed tolerance add about another half inch of width and a quarter inch of height so the frame can be plumbed rather than forced into place. The arithmetic uses the pair width, not the width of one leaf, and it should be confirmed against the frame schedule before the wall is built.
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.
