Commercial garage doors in Aurora for bays and shops: rolling steel, sectional and high-speed overhead doors, with springs rated for the cycles they will see. Quoted from photos and answered 24/7 when a bay is down.
What’s included
A commercial bay in Aurora is 20 minutes from the shop in Richmond Hill, which is what counts when the bay is down; the rule the Town of Aurora publishes for a door in the same opening is written for houses, so on a shop or a warehouse we confirm with Town of Aurora Building Division (Planning and Development Services) before the order, and a larger opening for a taller truck is reviewed as structural on any building.
01Doors
A tight ceiling calls for rolling steel; shops and service bays take sectional doors of a heavier gauge. Fire-rated doors form a category apart.
02Hardware
A door that runs all day is sized from how often it opens. Rollers, hinges, drums and track are chosen for that count.
03Repairs
A damaged panel can be replaced alone when the tracks and framing remain true. The usual cause is a forklift or vehicle strike.
04Operators
For staff safety, photo eyes and the safety reversal are tested once limits, controls and wiring are right.

Moe did an excellent job replacing our old, worn down garage door with a beautiful, heavy duty white one.

A two-car door, worn through.
The old two-car door had raised panels and a row of lites, and its paint was peeling along the bottom. It came down for long-panel steel in a warm taupe, plainer and cleaner under the house number.

FAQ
What Aurora homeowners ask about commercial garage doors, and the questions every door raises.
Not here? Ask us for a free estimate.
The bay sets the figure: the door's type, size and gauge, the cycle rating of the springs, the operator, and any damage from an impact. Photos taken inside and outside, showing the operator, tracks and springs, let us give one number rather than a range, and it comes before the work.
The door is ordered to the bay's size and the date comes with the order, which is the main part of the wait. When a sectional door has only damaged panels, replacing those is quicker than a new door. A bay that will not work is the exception, and that call is taken at any hour.
That turns on whether the opening or the structure is being changed. Swapping a door for like in the same opening is the simpler case. Widening the opening or altering the building is a question for the Town of Aurora. A fire-rated door brings testing and inspection requirements of its own. We cannot say what your building needs, so confirm with the Town before ordering.
In a leased unit the door is often part of the landlord's building, so ask them before anything is ordered. The free estimate gives you a figure to take to them, and the photos show what is fitted now. An owner deciding for their own building can go straight from photos to a quote.
Often, yes. A panel that took the impact can be replaced on its own when the tracks and framing are still true, and a bent track section can be changed alone. A door whose tracks and frame are too far gone, or that has lost several panels, is cheaper to replace. The shop is 20 minutes up Yonge Street, with the common failure parts on the van.
Yes. Modern Empire Doors is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included, and the phone is answered at night. A door stuck open is a security problem, and a door stuck shut with the car inside is a lost day, so neither waits for Monday. Some things can wait for a weekday: a noisy door, a remote that stopped while the wall button still works, a torn seal. If you are not sure which yours is, call and ask.
Usually, yes. The parts that fail most often are carried on the van, so most repairs are finished on the first visit. If you text a photo from inside the garage before we come, we can often see what has failed and make sure the right part is with us. The exceptions are parts made for one door, such as a replacement section in a matching design and colour, which may have to be ordered in. In the meantime the door can usually be secured so the garage still locks.
It depends on the part, and most repairs come down to a handful: springs, cables, rollers, the opener or the safety sensors. We would rather tell you the real price for your door than quote a range that does not apply to it, so text a photo from inside the garage to (647) 323-1826 and we can usually tell which part it is before we arrive. Most repairs are finished in one visit, and you hear the price before any work starts.
Check three things before you call anyone. Is the opener getting power, or has the plug come out or the breaker tripped? Is the door locked, or has the red release cord been pulled? And look at the springs above the opening: a gap of a couple of inches in a coil means one has snapped, often with a loud bang beforehand. If a spring is broken, do not force the door or keep pressing the button. Stop there and call (647) 323-1826, at any hour.
Richmond Hill first: our shop is at 138 Yorkland St. From there we cover Vaughan, Markham, Thornhill, Aurora, Newmarket, Whitchurch-Stouffville, King City, Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke and Durham Region, for new doors and for repairs, at any hour. If you are close by and not sure whether you are in the area, call (647) 323-1826 and ask; we would rather tell you straight than have you wait.

A sectional door suits a bay that customers see. Rolling steel suits one with little headroom, since it coils up above the opening instead of running back along the ceiling.
Asked next
Whether the tracks and framing are still true, since that decides if one panel can be swapped instead of the door. After that, the struck side's cables, rollers and hinges. Staff should not run the bay until the reversal and photo-eyes have been tested.
Asked next
A door that has slowed, a new rattle or grinding, jerky travel, or cables fraying in plain sight. Each is worth a call before the door stops altogether.

The guide
What is different about commercial garage doors in Aurora: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
For a replacement quote we ask for photos from inside and outside that show the operator, tracks and springs. That is enough to name a figure without a visit. A detached workshop or equipment building often wants a taller or wider door than a house garage, sometimes a heavier-duty one built for more cycles, and we supply and install those.
We often find residential-grade parts on a door meant for commercial duty, usually because the first install was priced rather than specified. Fitting cycle-rated parts is part of the work.
Whether a door change needs a permit turns on the opening and the structure. A like-for-like swap is the simple case. A wider opening, a changed header or a fire-rated door raises the question, and the Town of Aurora decides what a building needs, so the answer is worth having before an order is placed.
Where the unit's door carries a fire rating, say so first, because testing and inspection come with it. A lease can add a step ahead of the Town, because the landlord may need to agree to the change.
The building decides the door. Sectional suits a bay that faces customers, and rolling steel suits a tight industrial one. A high-speed door cuts the time an opening stands open, which helps where the door cycles all day.
Windows and insulated sections are options on a sectional door, and both change the quote, so say what the bay is used for. A door that is fire-rated is ordered as that and is not converted from a standard one.
