Work by The Elite Glass Repair Toronto Crew. ## What Is Glass Door Replacement? Glass door replacement is replacing the glass panel of a commercial or entrance door, or the full door leaf, with new glass and matched hardware. It covers frameless tempered doors on storefronts, aluminium-frame doors in plazas and office buildings, fire-rated glass doors in stairwells and corridors, and the sidelites and transoms around them. Unlike a house door, a commercial entrance has to pass rules: OBC Part 3 for safety glazing and fire separations, AODA for accessibility, and sometimes the landlord’s own building standards. The glass and hardware we install are chosen to pass all of them. ## Commercial Door Types | Door type | Glass | Hardware | | --- | --- | --- | | Frameless tempered (Herculite-style) | 1/2-inch tempered | Patch fittings, pivots, floor closer | | Aluminium storefront door | 6-10mm tempered or laminated | Butt hinges or pivots, overhead closer | | Security entrance | SentryGlas laminated | Heavy-duty pivots, panic hardware | | Fire-rated stair or corridor door | Pyrostop in rated frame | Rated closer, latch | | Office suite door | 10-12mm tempered | Patch fittings, lock rail | ## When to Replace Rather Than Repair Replace the door glass or leaf when: 1. **The glass is broken.** Tempered and laminated door glass cannot be repaired. 2. **The door failed an inspection.** No fire label, missing AODA markings or annealed glass where safety glass is required. 3. **The door has been targeted before.** Upgrading to SentryGlas laminated slows the next attempt. 4. **The hardware has failed with the glass.** A shattered frameless door often damages its patch fittings or pivot. If the glass is intact and the door only drags or slams, glass door repair [/glass-door-repair/ →](/glass-door-repair/) is usually all you need. ## Hardware That Lasts The glass gets the attention, but the hardware decides how long the door lasts. We match or upgrade: - **Dorma floor closers** like the BTS series, set for a safe closing speed. - **Hager hinges and pivots** sized for the weight of the new panel. - **Blumcraft and Dorma patch fittings** in brushed or polished finishes. - **Panic hardware** where exit requirements apply. Dorma hardware we supply carries a 5-year warranty, on top of our 2-year workmanship warranty on the install. ## After a Break-In Restaurant and retail entrances are a common break-in target. We arrive inside 2 hours in the 416, clear the glass, board the opening with 15mm OSB and keep a usable entrance where we can. The adjuster gets photos and an itemised invoice, and we direct-bill the insurer. The new door glass goes in within the week where stock allows.

Straight Answers ## What Actually Stops Toronto Homeowners From Booking Glass Door Replacement ### Q.Do we need a whole new door or just new glass? In our opinion, the door should be replaced only when it has to be. If the frame and hardware are sound, we replace the glass panel. If hardware is worn, we quote it separately so you can choose. ### Q.Will the new door pass a fire or AODA inspection? Yes. We check whether the door sits in a fire separation, needs panic hardware or requires AODA visibility markings, and spec the glass and hardware to pass. ### Q.How long will the entrance be boarded? Custom door glass takes 7-14 business days. We board the opening or install a temporary panel the same night and keep a working door where we can. ### Q.Will the new door match the rest of the storefront? We match glass thickness, tint, hardware finish and sidelite details so the new door looks like it was always there. The 5-Step Precision Glazing Standard ## How Does Our Glass Door Replacement Process Work? Same five steps on every job, from a single pane to a curtain wall bay. Typical timeline: 7-14 business days. 1. 1 ### Step 1: Assessment & Safety Stabilization We make the entrance safe with OSB or a temporary panel, keep a usable door where possible, and photograph the damage for the insurer. 2. 2 ### Step 2: Measurement Laser measurement of the door and frame, micrometer check of glass, hole and notch positions for patch fittings, and a code check for fire, panic and AODA. 3. 3 ### Step 3: Glass Sourcing Others order non-certified import tempered with no traceable stamp. We order CSA A440 tempered, SentryGlas or Pyrostop from certified fabricators. 4. 4 ### Step 4: Dry-Fit and Spec Match The crew dry-fits the panel with its fittings, checks hole alignment, edge quality and swing clearances, and matches finish to the existing hardware. 5. 5 ### Step 5: Install & Adjust Door hung, closer and pivots set for safe closing speed, manifestation strips applied, and the 2-year workmanship and 5-year Dorma warranties written up.

Toronto Buyers Ask ## Glass Door Replacement FAQs ### How much does a commercial glass door replacement cost? Commercial glass door panels cost $1,250-$4,800 in Toronto, in CAD before HST. Replacing the tempered lite in an aluminium-frame door runs $1,250-$1,900. A frameless 1/2-inch tempered door panel with patch fittings is $1,900-$3,200. SentryGlas laminated security doors run $2,600-$3,900, and Pyrostop fire-rated door lites $2,800-$4,800. A hardware package with closer, pivots and patch fittings adds $450-$1,400 if the old hardware is worn. The price depends mostly on glass type and whether the existing hardware can be reused. Every quote lists glass and hardware separately so the owner and insurer can see both. ### What is a Herculite door? Herculite is the name commonly used in the trade for a frameless tempered glass entrance door, usually 1/2-inch thick, held by top and bottom patch fittings and swinging on pivots with a floor closer. They are common on Toronto storefronts and office lobbies. When the glass breaks, the fittings can often be reused on a new panel. ### What glass is required for a fire-rated door? Doors in a fire separation under OBC Part 3 need a rated glazing product, such as Pyrostop, in a rated frame, and the label must stay visible. Standard tempered glass is not fire-rated. We identify these doors at the site visit. ### Do glass doors need AODA markings? Large glass doors and sidelites in public buildings should have visibility markings, often called manifestation, so people with low vision can see the glass. We apply compliant strips or dots as part of the install. ### How long does glass door replacement take? Custom tempered and laminated door panels take 7-14 business days. Fire-rated glass can take longer. The entrance is boarded or fitted with a temporary panel in the meantime, and the install itself usually takes 2-4 hours. ### Can you replace the door after a break-in tonight? We board up tonight, 2 hours in the 416 and 4 in the 905, and replace the door glass within the week where stock allows. See emergency board-up [/emergency-board-up/ →](/emergency-board-up/) . ### Do you replace residential glass doors too? Yes. Residential door glass is usually repaired in the existing door. See glass door repair [/glass-door-repair/ →](/glass-door-repair/) and patio door glass replacement [/patio-door-glass-replacement/ →](/patio-door-glass-replacement/) . ### Do you install automatic door operators? We coordinate with your automatic door supplier. We handle the glass and manual hardware, and they handle the operator and its sensors. ### Do you replace car glass? No. We do residential, commercial and storefront glass only. We do not repair or replace automotive glass or windshields. Still have a question?
