Broken commercial glass & aluminum doors in St. Catharines: we dispatch 24/7.
St. Catharines is roughly a 80-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.
Glass and aluminum door systems we install in St. Catharines
Most commercial glass work is one of three aluminum framing systems, and the door is chosen to suit the frame it sits in. Canuck Door Systems supplies, installs and services all of them — here is how they differ, in the order the questions usually come.
Storefront, window and curtain wall framing: the difference
Three frame families glaze most commercial elevations, and they are not interchangeable — each one carries the glass differently, spans differently and is glazed from a different side. Which one an opening needs is usually decided by the building, not by preference.

Glass & aluminum for the work St. Catharines buildings do
The sectors that dominate St. Catharines — healthcare and social assistance, retail trade, manufacturing — each ask something different of their glass and aluminum.
Healthcare and social assistance
Clinic and practice entrances in aluminum framing — barrier-free widths, closers patients can manage — plus fast glass replacement, because a taped-up door in a waiting room reads badly.
Retail trade
The storefront is the shop: aluminum-framed entrances and display glazing, same-day board-up after a break-in, and replacement glass measured and set without closing the store for long.
Manufacturing
Plant offices put glass where supervision needs sightlines — entrance doors with vision lites, glazed office fronts facing the floor — in aluminum framing that shrugs off an industrial interior.
Accommodation and food services
Entrances and glazing for the office side of processing plants — and fast board-up and replacement, because a broken lite in a food or pharma building cannot wait for next week.
Educational services
School and campus doors take generations of traffic: aluminum entrances rebuilt rather than replaced, wired and safety glazing matched when a lite breaks, hardware swapped without losing the frame.
General contractors & new builds
For general contractors: glass and aluminum entrances, storefront framing and glazing supplied and installed to the architect’s spec, coordinated with your schedule and your inspector.

Common questions about commercial glass & aluminum doors
What is the difference between a storefront, a window wall and a curtain wall?
How far the system spans, and what carries it. A storefront sits inside one storey, anchored into the opening — the ground-floor glazing on a shop or office. A window wall spans slab to slab, one storey at a time, and bears on the floor slab. A curtain wall runs continuously past the slab edges over multiple floors and is hung off the building structure. The framing gets deeper and the anchoring more engineered in that order, which is why the same-looking elevation can be three different products with three different prices.
What is commercial-grade glass?
It is not one product. "Commercial grade" describes glass processed to meet the code and the duty of the opening rather than ordinary window glass: tempered or laminated where the Ontario Building Code calls for safety glazing, certified to CAN/CGSB-12.1, and sealed into an insulating unit for anything exterior. The difference from residential glass is less the glass itself than the fact that the make-up has to be specified and documented per opening.
How much does a commercial glass door or storefront cost?
There is no useful single number and a "from" price would mislead: a single aluminum entrance door in existing framing and a rebuilt two-storey glazed elevation are different orders of magnitude. What moves the price is the glazed area, the glass make-up, whether the framing is thermally broken, the door count and hardware, whether the existing framing is reused, the finish, and whether the work has to happen after hours. We measure the opening and send a firm, itemised quote at no charge.
