Fibreglass, steel or wood
Steel is strongest, fibreglass goes in most often and wood must be refinished. Energy rules need an insulated core, so no plain slab.

What’s included
What a new front doorincludes.
A front door for a Newmarket house is made to the opening and the swing, 30 minutes from the shop; a door in the same opening needs no building permit from the Town of Newmarket, a wider opening or a new sidelight is a structural change that Town of Newmarket Building Division (Planning and Building Services) reviews, and on a designated house in Lower Main Street South Heritage Conservation District the heritage permit comes first.
02Glass
Glass, sidelights and transoms
Most people pick doors for glass, the weakest point too. Laminated glass helps, as do two or three panes.
- Sidelights and transoms
- Two or three panes
- Laminated glass near the lock
- Safety-glass sidelights
03Frame
The frame and the lock
A reinforced strike plate and long screws set into the framing secure the frame, and the deadbolt needs the full one-inch throw.
- Frame kept or new
- Reinforced strike plate
- Deadbolt with a full throw
- Pulls, handles and locks
04Fit
Fitted square and sealed
Square, plumb and shimmed, or the door binds and wears its weatherstripping unevenly. A shifted opening is corrected.
- Shimmed plumb and square
- Weatherstripping all round
- Hung and latched
- Old door removed

I’m very happy with the work done on my front door and garage door. … Both doors look amazing …
Everyone else told me I’d be waiting anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months just to get a door delivered and installed.
My garage spring and cables snapped on a Sunday afternoon, Moe was able to swing by the next morning …
Great Service by Moe, very clean job, on time and no surprises.
It completely changed the look of my home and has already received so many compliments.
The work was done in 5 hours and they cleaned up after themselves leaving no trace of my old garage door and front door.
I called Moe he was here in the same hour and we got our new doors in two days
He didn’t just fix the immediate problem … made sure the door was running smoother and quieter than before.
We were presented with multiple options and given the pros and cons of each.
… replacing my destroyed garage door for a beautiful modern style door.
Replaced my front door and garage door with a remote. … the finished work looks amazing.
I had a quote within a day … and the new door installed by that weekend.
Garage door spring was broken. Moe was able to come out the next day and fit it.
Moe takes the time to get to know what your needs are and has affordable recommendations.
Moe did an excellent job replacing our old, worn down garage door with a beautiful, heavy duty white one.
… he was here the next day and we had our garage doors and front doors done within one week.
The whole process was seamless and I couldn’t believe how fast the job was completed without any hiccups.
… came on short notice to take a look. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in no time.
They were super on time, super efficient, and the price was dead on.

Both doors on one house.
The garage door and the front doors were both brown: raised panels with square lites, and double doors with grid lites in a white frame. We replaced them together in one grey, so the two now match across the front of the house.

FAQ
Front door replacement questionsin Newmarket.
What Newmarket homeowners ask about front & entry doors, and the questions every door raises.

Planning a new door5 questions
Whether the opening stays the same size is the first cost question in Newmarket. Adding sidelights or widening the door makes a larger opening, which the Town lists as permit work, and a property in the Lower Main Street South heritage district needs its heritage permit before the order. Past that, the quote depends on slab only versus door and frame, the material, glass and sidelights, and the hardware. The estimate is free and gives one figure before the work.
Hanging a standard door normally takes a day. The waiting happens beforehand. A special-order door is made to a lead time, if the old frame has to come out too the visit grows, and a permit comes before the order where the opening changes or the property sits in the heritage district.
Usually not, if the new door is the same size as the old one, which Newmarket's building page says typically needs no permit. A larger or new opening needs a building permit, and inside the Lower Main Street South Heritage Conservation District an alteration needs a heritage permit first.
Usually, yes, because sidelights make the opening wider, and Newmarket lists enlarged door and window openings among the projects that need a building permit. A new door in the same opening, with no sidelights added, is the case the Town says typically needs none. Where a permit is needed, it is applied for online through the Town's Development Portal, and the order follows approval.
The address plus two photos, taken from the street side and from the hall. It also helps to mention which way the door swings, any sidelights or transom, and whether the frame seems sound. Frames that have shifted are measured and shimmed square and plumb during the install.
A door that won't work5 questions
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.
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.
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.

The permit. A door is made to measure once it is ordered and cannot be returned, so inside the Lower Main Street South district the heritage permit goes first and the order follows.
Asked next
It can. Sun and weather exposure is settled before choosing, along with the swing, sidelights or a transom, whether the existing frame is sound, and the hardware finish. Fibreglass shrugs off freeze and thaw, while solid wood swells and shrinks with the seasons and wants refinishing.

Yes. Replacement doors are made in Canada and carry a lifetime warranty, and the crew goes over what the warranty covers before leaving.

The guide
Front door replacement in Newmarket: good to know.
What is different about front & entry doors in Newmarket: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Front door replacement in Newmarket, opening by opening
Replacement can mean the slab alone or the door and frame together, with or without sidelights and a transom. A wider door or added sidelights makes a larger opening, and Newmarket lists new or enlarged door and window openings as permit work, so decide that part first. Fibreglass is the material fitted most often, steel is strongest for security and generally the least expensive, and solid wood needs refinishing.
Signs of a poor fit are gaps that let daylight in, a door that has to be shoved to latch, drafts around the hinges and winter condensation on the inside face. Before choosing, settle which way it swings, how much sun and weather the door gets, whether sidelights or a transom are in the plan, whether the frame is sound, and which hardware finish suits the house.
Front door replacement permits in Newmarket
Three questions settle the permit before the estimate. Is the opening staying the same size? Is the house inside the Lower Main Street South district? Are sidelights or a transom being added? A same-size door outside the district waits on nobody, and the building page says as much for doors the size of the existing one.
A larger or moved opening needs a building permit before work starts. Inside the district the heritage permit goes first, ahead of the order. Where either applies, the paperwork goes in through the Town of Newmarket's Development Portal, and the install is booked after approval.
Front doors in Newmarket, frame first
A frame that has shifted over the years is measured for and squared during the install, with the shims set so the door sits plumb. Two photos, one outside and one inside, show the frame well enough to start an estimate. Because one crew hangs both doors on the facade, the garage door can be quoted alongside and the finish of each chosen against the other.
Newmarket lies 30 minutes (29.1 km) from the Richmond Hill shop, and calls are welcome from Stonehaven, Copper Hills and every other part of town. A replacement door arrives made in Canada, with a lifetime warranty behind it.
