Commercial garage doors in Vaughan: overhead doors installed, repaired and maintained for units, bays and workshops. If a bay goes down, the call is taken at any hour. Send photos for a free estimate.
What’s included
A commercial bay in Vaughan is 25 minutes from the shop in Richmond Hill, which is what counts when the bay is down; the rule the City of Vaughan publishes for a door in the same opening is written for houses, so on a shop or a warehouse we confirm with City of Vaughan Building Standards department before the order, and a larger opening for a taller truck is reviewed as structural on any building.
01Doors
Heavier-gauge sectional doors for shops and service bays, and rolling steel where the ceiling is tight. Fire-rated doors are a separate category.
02Hardware
Sizing starts with how often the door opens, as it works all day. Hinges, rollers, drums and track suit that count.
03Repairs
Most damage comes from a forklift or vehicle hitting the door. If framing and tracks stayed true, just the damaged panel is swapped.
04Operators
For staff safety, photo eyes and the safety reversal are tested once limits, controls and wiring are right.

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.

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

Door type comes first: rolling steel, sectional or high-speed, and a heavier-gauge sectional also insulates better. Then size and gauge, then the spring cycle rating, 25,000, 50,000 or 100,000, because on a bay that opens forty times a day a standard residential spring is done inside a year. The operator and any strike damage count too. Photos from inside and outside produce a number rather than a range.
Lead time is set by the door, which is ordered to size, not by the town. A bay that is down is a separate call, taken at any hour, with the repair decided by what failed. Maintenance follows cycles rather than the calendar: a door in constant use gets looked at several times a year, a rarely used one may need only an annual check.
A door that goes back into the same opening is a swap, and usually needs no building permit. Changing the opening, or the building around it, is different, and the City of Vaughan decides. Fire-rated doors have their own testing and inspection requirements.
Often. On a sectional door, individual panels can usually be replaced while the tracks and framing are still true, and forklift or vehicle strikes are the classic cause. We also come across residential-grade parts on doors meant for commercial duty, often because the first install was priced, not specified.
Yes. The shop takes calls every hour of every day, holidays included, and a bay that is down is one of the commercial calls it handles. Photos from inside and outside, with the operator, tracks and springs in view, help the crew bring the right parts.
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 visit checks the springs and their remaining cycle life, cable wear and drum seating, and the rollers, hinges and bearings. It also covers track alignment, the safety reversal and photo-eyes, operator limits and wiring, and the seals.

By cycles, not by the calendar: several times a year for a door in constant use, once a year for one rarely opened.

Rolling steel coils into a barrel above the opening, which suits a tight bay. A sectional overhead door is heavier gauge and insulates better.

The guide
What is different about commercial garage doors in Vaughan: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Commercial work spans rolling steel, sectional and high-speed doors, and fire-rated doors that carry their own testing and inspection rules. A new door is ordered to the bay, and on a sectional door a panel can be swapped after a strike if tracks and framing still run true.
Loading-bay springs are rated in cycles. The higher ratings cost more at the start and work out cheaper per year on a busy door. A maintenance visit covers spring condition and cycle life, cables and drums, rollers, tracks and fixings, the safety reversal and photo-eyes, operator limits and seals.
A commercial door replaced in the same opening is a swap, and swaps seldom raise a permit question. Change the opening, or the building around it, and the City of Vaughan is the office that decides.
Fire-rated doors are the exception to the plain swap, tested and inspected on their own terms, so mention at the start if yours is one. Two photos, inside and out, are enough to begin, and what comes back is one number.
Concord is the main industrial district of Vaughan, and Woodbridge has many industrial developments, mostly along Steeles east of the Humber. These are commercial-door jobs on warehouse and industrial units, a different scope from a house garage, and an after-hours breakdown is a regular need in that district.
A detached workshop or an equipment building may need a door taller or wider than a house garage takes, and sometimes one rated for heavier use; we supply and install those. The photos, taken inside and out with the operator, tracks and springs in view, tell us what the door is and what it needs.
