New accordion security doors planned and installed, and existing folding gates repaired, for Stittsville shops on Main Street and newer plazas along Hazeldean Road.
Stittsville has two kinds of commercial space side by side: older buildings along Main Street and newer plazas toward Hazeldean Road and Fernbank. Owners in both often ask us about adding an accordion security door to a unit that has never had one. Fix My Door Now Ottawa plans and installs new accordion gates in Stittsville and repairs existing ones.
An accordion door is a folding security gate that stacks at the side of the opening when it is open. To compare it with fixed, hinged or rolling grilles, see security grilles. For the full service across the city, see accordion security door repair in Ottawa.
In a newer plaza, the storefront is usually aluminum framing and glass, which is not designed to carry a gate on its own. The gate has to mount to the structure around it: the steel or masonry head, solid wall framing at the sides and the floor slab. We check what is actually there before recommending a gate, so it is anchored into material that will hold.
We also plan where the gate will stack when it is open. A gate needs a certain depth of wall beside the opening, and it should not cover a light switch, a fire alarm pull station or a door that has to swing. Getting this right on paper first avoids a gate that is awkward to use every day.
Older Main Street buildings often have openings that are out of square, uneven floors and wood or masonry that needs checking before it carries an anchor. We measure the opening at several points and plan the track to suit, and where the floor is uneven, a top-hung gate can be easier to keep running smoothly than one in a bottom track.
An interior gate behind the glass is protected from the weather and keeps the storefront looking the same from the street. An exterior gate also protects the glass, but its tracks need to drain and stay clear of snow and ice. We go over both options with you, along with whether a bottom track would be a trip hazard at your entrance.
A gate across a door that serves as an exit must be fully open whenever the business is in use. We plan the location and mounting with that in mind.
For gates that are already installed, we replace worn rollers, realign and re-anchor tracks, replace pivot hardware, straighten or replace damaged sections and repair or replace the lock. If a gate has been damaged in a break-in and the store cannot be secured, same-day emergency repair is available; call to confirm the earliest appointment.
