Commercial Door Replacement Toronto (2026): Storefront, Steel & Glass Doors

Aluminum storefront doors

The standard for retail, offices and plazas. Narrow-stile doors look clean but limit lock size; medium and wide stiles are stronger and accept heavier hardware and automatic operators. Choose glass (tempered or laminated) for safety and security, and consider a continuous hinge on busy entrances.

Hanging hardware for storefronts

Offset pivots are common and economical; continuous geared hinges last longer on high-traffic doors and resist sagging. See our hinge replacement guide and floor pivot repair.

Hollow metal steel doors and frames

The right choice for rear exits, service doors, stairwells and warehouses. Heavier gauges and welded frames are stronger; insulated cores help exterior doors. Pair them with latch guards and quality hardware where security matters. See steel door repair vs. replacement and repair or replace a steel door.

Glass entrance doors

All-glass and frameless doors suit lobbies and showrooms. They rely on precise patch fittings and floor closers — see floor and concealed closer repair.

Fire-rated doors

Stairwells, corridors and some service rooms need labeled fire assemblies. The door, frame and hardware must all suit the rating. See fire exit doors.

Before the visit

Take photos of both sides of the door, the hinge side and the lock, and note how the door is used: customer entrance, staff-only, deliveries, emergency exit. Tell us about access control, alarm contacts or automatic operators on the door, so the new door is prepared for them from the start.

Timing the work

Most single-door replacements are done in one visit once the door arrives. For storefronts we can work before opening or after closing; for rear and service doors we coordinate around deliveries. If the existing door cannot be secured while you wait for the new one, we reinforce or board the opening so the business is never left exposed.

Landlord or tenant?

In many commercial leases the landlord is responsible for the storefront system and exterior doors while the tenant handles locks and day-to-day damage — but every lease is different. Check your lease and loop in your property manager early; we are happy to provide a written description of the damage and the recommended work.

Upgrade while you replace

A replacement is the cheapest moment to fix whatever caused the old door to fail: a heavier gauge steel door on a laneway exit, a continuous hinge on a busy storefront, laminated glass where break-ins happen, a closer sized for wind exposure, or an accessible operator for customers. Adding these later usually costs more than building them in now. See security upgrades and door reinforcement after a break-in.
