Vaughan is industrial door country. Concord, the Highway 400 and 407 corridors, Steeles Avenue West and the Vaughan Enterprise Zone are lined with manufacturing plants, wholesale plazas and distribution warehouses, and every one of them depends on steel doors that open, close and latch through forklift traffic and salt. Around the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, new office and clinic space adds aluminum entrances and automatic doors.
Live dispatch answers 24/7 with a 4-hour typical arrival across the city. Kicked-in and impact-damaged doors are boarded the same night and swapped with galvanneal hollow metal, and insurance claims are direct-billed.
Manufacturing supplies 22% of local jobs and wholesale another 10%, which is why most calls here start at a rear exit or dock door. Since Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station opened in 2017, the new office and clinic towers around Highway 7 and Jane have added aluminum entrances and automatic doors to the workload.
Crews arrive by Highway 400, Highway 407 and Steeles Avenue West, with Keele, Jane and Dufferin carrying us into Concord. Night calls move quickly on the 400, and daytime routing avoids the 400 and 401 interchange when it backs up.
Many Concord sites run night shifts, so we coordinate access with security or the shift supervisor before arrival. Dock doors are secured first and repairs are staged so shipping can continue through another door.
