Commercial garage doors in Newmarket: overhead doors fitted, repaired and serviced for workshops, loading bays and commercial properties, with calls for a bay that is down answered at any hour.
What’s included
A commercial bay in Newmarket is 30 minutes from the shop in Richmond Hill, which is what counts when the bay is down; the rule the Town of Newmarket publishes for a door in the same opening is written for houses, so on a shop or a warehouse we confirm with Town of Newmarket Building Division (Planning and Building Services) before the order, and a larger opening for a taller truck is reviewed as structural on any building.
01Doors
Shops and service bays get heavier-gauge sectional doors. Rolling steel suits a tight ceiling. Fire-rated doors fall in a category of their own.
02Hardware
Track, drums, hinges and rollers are picked for the opening count, because a door operating all day is sized by it.
03Repairs
Forklift and vehicle strikes are the usual cause. A damaged panel is replaced on its own where the tracks and framing are still true.
04Operators
A staff safety matter: controls, wiring and limits set correctly, then photo eyes and safety reversal tested.

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

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 Newmarket homeowners ask about commercial garage doors, and the questions every door raises.

Start with what the opening has to do. A bay that sees traffic all day and a workshop door opened twice a week are priced differently, because the door type, the gauge and the spring's cycle rating follow the use. Size and the operator come next, and any damage from a strike if the door is being repaired. Photos from inside and outside give one figure, quoted before work is booked.
No installation time is quoted in advance, because a commercial door is made to the opening and its lead time comes before the visit. After that, the size, weight and operator decide how long the day runs. If the opening is being made wider or taller, the Town of Newmarket's ruling on the change comes before the order. A bay that is down is the exception: it is handled as urgent, from a shop 30 minutes away.
Usually not for a same-size door in the existing opening. A wider or taller opening alters the header, which is structural, and normally needs a permit, sometimes with an engineer. In Newmarket, a building inside the Lower Main Street South Heritage Conservation District is one to raise with the Town first, since alterations to a property there need a heritage permit. Fire-rated doors carry their own testing and inspection.
Raise it with the Town first. The street is inside Newmarket's Heritage Conservation District, where alterations to a property need a heritage permit, and a door is part of a building's face. Whether a given overhead door counts is for the Town to say, and the door is made only after the answer. Send photos of the bay from inside and outside, and say what is changing.
Yes. Every make of door is repaired, and the common failure parts are carried on the van, so most repairs finish in one visit. A part the van does not carry is ordered, and you are told before any extra work begins. The shop is open around the clock, weekends and holidays included, and a bay that is down is treated as urgent.
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.

Yes. Detached workshops and equipment buildings often need doors taller or wider than a house garage, and sometimes doors built for heavier cycling. Those are supplied and installed. The opening is the first thing to settle, since a larger one is a permit question before it is an order.
Asked next
Yes. A fire-rated door comes with its own testing and inspection rules that a standard sectional door does not. Say at the estimate if a door is fire-rated or has to replace one. The Town of Newmarket decides what applies to a given building.
Asked next
It can. The operator is checked against the door's weight and how often it cycles before it is reused, so a bigger or busier door is specified as a set, not matched to an old motor by habit.

The guide
What is different about commercial garage doors in Newmarket: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Start from what the bay does in a day. A workshop door opened twice a week and a loading bay opened all day ask different things of the door, the springs and the operator. A workshop or equipment building set apart from the main property often wants a taller or wider opening than a house garage. Those doors are supplied and installed, and a fire-rated one brings its own testing and inspection.
Repair on a commercial door begins with why it failed. Residential-grade parts on a door doing commercial work wear out fast, and swapping the same part again leaves the cause in place. Where a section was struck, one panel can often be replaced while the tracks and framing remain square, and a photo with a close-up of any label tells the shop whether a single panel is possible before anyone is sent.
The permit question turns on the opening, as it does anywhere, with two Newmarket points on top. A change to the building is for the Town of Newmarket to rule on, so the opening is settled before a door is made. And a property inside the Lower Main Street South Heritage Conservation District needs a heritage permit for alterations, so a building there is raised with the Town first. A fire-rated door adds testing and inspection either way.
A quote needs photos from inside and outside in which the operator, tracks and springs can be seen, and that is what makes the figure firm instead of a range. The shop is 30 minutes (29.1 km) from Newmarket and open around the clock, and a bay that is down is treated as urgent.
