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 Pickering from one replaced in five is what fills the cavity between the faces.
Finishes, and what winter in Pickering 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 Pickering — the price and the date
We install what we supply, and we supply on its own: contractors in Pickering 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 Pickering buildings do
The sectors that dominate Pickering — energy, engineering and environmental, advanced manufacturing and aerospace, transportation, logistics and warehousing — each wear a steel door out in a different place.
Advanced manufacturing and aerospace
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.
Transportation, logistics and warehousing
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.
Agri-food 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.
Film, television and entertainment
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.
Schools & institutions
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.
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
How long does a steel door take to arrive?
Typically 4–6 weeks to produce a door and frame once the shop drawings are approved, then 1–2 weeks to schedule the job and install it, depending on the size of the project. Stock-size doors in a common gauge and prep can be much faster; rated assemblies, custom sizes, galvannealed and stainless leaves and anything with unusual hardware prep set the schedule. Once it arrives, one door and frame is usually a day's work on site, while a full door schedule on a construction project runs for several weeks.
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.
