Commercial Metal Door Installation for Durable, Code-Ready Entry Systems

 

Hollow metal doors are a staple of commercial construction because they combine strength, safety and compliance in one solution. At Express Drywall Services, we install commercial-grade metal doors that meet fire rating, acoustic and accessibility requirements. Whether you need single swing, double-leaf or custom-width doors, our team delivers precision-aligned frames and long-lasting performance. We ensure all door assemblies – frames, slabs, hardware and seals – are properly installed and tested.

For fire-rated corridors, exit routes and mechanical rooms, we work with UL-listed doors and frames that meet all local code standards. Our installers coordinate closely with framing and drywall installation teams to deliver seamless, plumb finishes. We can also prep doors for access control, panic hardware and other specialty features. From retail units to healthcare facilities, our metal door solutions are ready for inspections and daily use. If you’re looking for a complete package that includes sound-rated partitions or resilient channel systems, we’ll help integrate your door installation without compromise.

Fire-Rated Exit Door Requirements

Commercial-grade metal doors are essential where durability, fire resistance and secure access are non-negotiable. On new builds, they provide reliable performance in exit routes, mechanical rooms and service corridors. In industrial and warehouse settings, hollow metal doors stand up to repeated use and offer better resistance to impact and tampering.

High-traffic tenant spaces – like medical clinics, schools or retail units – often require sound-rated and ADA-compliant door systems that we supply and install to spec. When renovations call for improved safety, we help replace older or non-compliant wood doors with properly rated metal assemblies. From fire egress to acoustic control, we ensure your doors meet all performance and code requirements without delay.

Seamless Framing & Drywall Integration for Hollow Metal Doors

Commercial door installation isn’t just about setting frames – it’s about aligning them with every other trade on site. At Express Drywall Services, we bring over two decades of experience integrating hollow metal door systems into drywall, CMU and steel-stud assemblies. Our process begins with layout review and coordination with mechanical, electrical and fire safety contractors.

We identify critical paths for shaft wall assemblies, access doors and framing systems to ensure everything works together without rework. Hollow metal door frames are prepped, anchored and shimmed to maintain square alignment across all finishes. We install doors that are fire-rated, sound-rated, ADA-compliant and access control–ready. For high-traffic areas, we reinforce openings and install heavy-duty hardware, including closers, panic bars and electric strikes.

Every detail – door swing, handle height, label location – is managed with precision. Once doors are installed, we blend surrounding drywall, taping and finishing for a clean, professional look. In some projects, we also tie in T-bar ceiling layouts or adjust moisture-resistant drywall where doors meet tiled or wet areas.

We maintain close communication with site supervisors and inspectors to keep installs on schedule and code-compliant. Whether it’s a full build-out or a renovation, our metal door services are part of an integrated construction workflow. You get expert results – with no surprises, delays or misalignment.

From Scope Walkthrough to Secure Install

Our Commercial Metal Door Installation Process

We begin by reviewing architectural drawings and conducting a site walkthrough to assess door locations, wall types and framing requirements. This step ensures all metal door openings are properly accounted for, including fire-rated, acoustic and ADA-compliant assemblies. We identify any special conditions that may affect install strategy, such as existing drywall, access limitations or double-door frames. Early coordination allows us to streamline scheduling and minimize costly rework.
We confirm metal door specs with the GC or architect and coordinate timely delivery of doors, frames and hardware to suit the construction sequence. Our team reviews shop drawings to verify correct handings, dimensions and fire labels. We plan around drywall, taping and painting schedules to avoid interference with finish trades. Proper staging of materials helps us execute fast, organized installs with minimal site disruption.
We prepare framed openings in both steel stud and block wall systems, ensuring proper reinforcement is in place to support heavy-duty hollow metal doors. Backing, anchors and shims are added where needed to maintain plumb, level and square conditions. Our prep ensures doors align smoothly with floors, walls and trim packages. This step is key for long-term durability and code-compliant performance.
Doors and frames are installed with precision and secured to framing per manufacturer and code requirements. We adjust hinges, closers and strikes for proper operation and check clearances for hardware and accessibility. Whether single doors, double doors or sidelight frames, we ensure a tight, aligned and functional fit. Fire-rated and acoustic assemblies are sealed and documented as needed.
Once doors are hung, we install handles, closers, panic hardware and locks per spec. Every component is tested for smooth function and aligned for long-term performance. We make final adjustments for latch pressure, closing speed and ADA clearance. Our work is ready for inspection and use, with no call-backs required.
Our team inspects each installed door for proper swing, security, fire label visibility and finish alignment. Any debris, packaging or hardware waste is cleared from the work area. We confirm readiness for painting or touch-ups by the finish crew. Final turnover includes confirming punch items, locksets and documentation are complete.

Fast Turnaround, Clean Results & Minimal Disruption

Retrofit Door Installations for Commercial Upgrades & Replacements

Replacing existing doors in commercial interiors requires careful planning, especially when walls are already finished and occupied. Express Drywall Services offers retrofit metal door installation for property managers, general contractors and commercial tenants who need quick, professional results.

We begin by assessing the existing frame and surrounding construction, then determine whether a full frame-and-door replacement is necessary or a slab-only retrofit will suffice. In occupied spaces like clinics, schools and offices, we schedule work to minimize disruption and contain dust, noise and mess. Our crews remove old doors, adjust or rebuild the opening as needed and install new hollow metal systems with proper shimming, anchoring and finish alignment.

We can prep doors for new access panels, fire-rated upgrades or integration with security hardware. Where required, we modify or reinforce framing to meet today’s code and safety standards. We also coordinate repainting or touch-up work through our priming and painting service. Every retrofit project includes final testing of door swing, closer tension, latch alignment and fire label visibility.

Whether you’re upgrading for fire compliance, replacing damaged doors or modernizing a facility, our retrofit service delivers fast, clean results. We handle both single-unit and multi-door replacements across GTA commercial buildings. If your retrofit involves other work – like drywall repair, moisture protection or T-bar ceiling adjustments – we can coordinate it all under one scope.
