More hardware will not fix it. ### Repeat repair bills A door that needs a new closer, then a new lock, then a hinge, is telling you something. Chasing repairs often costs more than a swap. ### Openings out of service too long Tenants and staff need the corridor, exit or entrance back fast. Replacement has to be planned so the door is out for hours, not days. ### Fire labels on old doors A rated door with a damaged or painted-over label may need replacing to stay compliant at the next inspection. ## When a Commercial Door Needs Replacing Hardware can be repaired again and again. The door itself cannot. When a hollow metal door rusts through at the bottom, when its skin delaminates from the core, when a wood door splits or an aluminum stile cracks, the door has failed. New hinges and closers will not make it latch reliably again. At that point, a like-for-like replacement is usually the fastest and cheapest fix. The existing frame stays in place, the new door is built to match it, and the swap happens in a single install day. It is the step after repair in our commercial door repair and replacement service across Toronto [/ →](/) . ## What Like-for-Like Means A like-for-like door matches the old one on every point that matters: - **Size:** width, height and thickness to suit the frame - **Handing:** which way it swings and which side the hinges are on - **Construction:** hollow metal gauge and core, solid-core wood or aluminum stile - **Fire label:** same rating where the opening is rated - **Hardware preps:** hinge locations, lock and exit device preps, closer reinforcement Getting those details right on the first visit is what lets the swap happen fast. ## Door Types We Replace ### Hollow metal steel doors Common at service corridors, stairwells, rear exits and warehouse man doors. Typically 18 or 16-gauge steel with honeycomb, polystyrene or steel-stiffened cores. Exterior doors use galvanneal steel for corrosion resistance. For damaged dock and rear doors specifically, see commercial steel door replacement [/commercial-steel-door-replacement/ →](/commercial-steel-door-replacement/) . ### Solid-core wood doors Common in office suites, corridors and condo common areas. We match species or finish where possible and supply rated wood doors where required. ### Aluminum doors For storefront and lobby doors, see storefront door replacement [/storefront-door-replacement/ →](/storefront-door-replacement/) , which covers full-lite panel swaps. ## Typical Replacement Costs | Door type | Typical range (CAD) | | --- | --- | | Hollow metal door, existing frame, hardware transferred | $1,500 - $2,800 | | Fire-rated hollow metal or wood door | $2,500 - $4,500 | | Solid-core wood office door with new hardware | $1,800 - $3,500 | | Aluminum door with glass in existing frame | $3,500 - $5,500 | Your written CAD scope confirms the range before ordering. Hardware upgrades, finishes and ratings move the number. ## How the Replacement Works On the first visit we measure the opening, record handing and preps, check the frame and note which hardware can be reused. You get a written scope. Once approved, the door is ordered while the old one stays in service. On install day, the crew removes the old door, hangs the new one, transfers or upgrades hardware and adjusts everything. The old door leaves with us. On one Etobicoke office, a delaminated hollow metal door at a ground-floor service corridor would not stay latched. The crew measured on Tuesday, ordered a matching 18-gauge door and hung it the following Thursday morning with the existing LCN closer transferred. The corridor was out of service for under three hours. ## Repair or Replace? Repair makes sense when the door is sound and only the hardware has failed. Replace when the door itself is damaged, when repairs keep coming back or when a rated door’s label can no longer be verified. We will give you both options in writing so the decision is easy. ## When the Frame Is the Problem A new door in a rusted or bent frame will not latch either. If the frame has rotted at grade from road salt or been pried in a break-in, see commercial door frame replacement [/commercial-door-frame-replacement/ →](/commercial-door-frame-replacement/) . We assess both door and frame on the same visit. ## New Openings If you need a door where there was none, or a full new opening as part of a fit-out, see commercial door installation [/commercial-door-installation/ →](/commercial-door-installation/) for our Division 8 scope.

Most like-for-like commercial door replacements fall between $1,500 and $5,500. A standard hollow metal door in an existing frame with transferred hardware sits at the low end. Solid-core wood, fire-rated doors and doors needing new hardware land in the middle. Aluminum doors with glass sit near the top. You get a written CAD scope first. ### What does like-for-like replacement mean? It means the new door matches the old one in size, handing, construction, gauge or core and fire label, so it fits the existing frame and hardware preps without rebuilding the opening. ### How long is the door out of service? Usually a few hours on install day. Measuring and ordering happen first while the old door stays in place, so the opening is only out while the swap is happening. ### Can you reuse my existing hardware? Yes, where it is sound. Closers, exit devices and hinges in good condition are transferred to the new door. Worn hardware is upgraded to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and noted on the written scope. ### When should I replace instead of repair? Replace when the door itself has failed: rust-through, delamination, bent or split skins, cracked stiles or a fire label that can no longer be verified. If only the hardware is failing, repair is usually cheaper. ### Do you replace fire-rated doors? Yes. Rated doors are replaced with labelled doors of the same rating, hung on listed hinges with appropriate closers and latching hardware, and documented for your NFPA 80 file. ### What if the frame is damaged too? If the frame is rusted, bent or pried, it may need replacing as well. See our commercial door frame replacement page. We assess both on the first visit. ### Which door types do you replace? Hollow metal steel doors, solid-core wood doors and aluminum doors in commercial buildings. We do not replace residential, garage or interior home doors. ### Do you dispose of the old door? Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door are part of the job. ### Can damaged doors be billed to insurance? Yes. For break-ins, vandalism and impact damage we direct-bill major commercial property insurance claims and provide photos and a written scope. Still have a question about your opening? Live dispatch answers any hour. Send photos with the form for a faster written scope.
