The buildings here are mostly steel manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution and warehousing, and each puts different demands on a door: traffic volume, insurance and fire requirements, and how much downtime an opening can afford.

Broken commercial glass & aluminum doors in Whitby: we dispatch 24/7.
Whitby is roughly a 60-minute run from our Mississauga shop — less if a technician is already in the area — so a truck is usually on site the same day.
Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
Glass and aluminum door systems we install in Whitby
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 Whitby buildings do
The sectors that dominate Whitby — steel manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, distribution and warehousing — each ask something different of their glass and aluminum.
Steel 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.
Distribution and warehousing
A distribution building’s glass is its front office: an aluminum entrance for visitors and drivers, interior lites for the dispatch office, and same-day board-up and replacement when either gets broken.
Retail
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.
Schools & institutions
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.
Condos & property management
Lobby entrances are the building’s handshake: aluminum door systems kept aligned and closing, sealed units replaced as they fog, and board-up on call for after-hours breakage.
Hotels & hospitality
Restaurants and hotels sell the view of themselves: storefront glazing and entrance doors that match the brand, repaired around service hours rather than during them.

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.
Do you repair glass doors and windows you did not install?
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. We service commercial glass doors, storefronts, aluminum windows and their hardware regardless of who supplied them — closers, pivots, patch fittings, rollers, locks, thresholds and broken glass — and we run emergency service around the clock, including board-up to make an opening safe the same night.
What kind of glass is used in storefronts?
Exterior storefronts are almost always glazed with a 1″ sealed insulating unit — two lites with a spacer and an argon or air cavity — with a low-E coating on one surface and the outer lite tempered where the code requires safety glazing. Interior storefront and partition glazing is usually monolithic 6 mm (¼″) tempered. Laminated glass replaces tempered where security, sound or fragment retention matters.
