Between St-Catherine Street West, Peel Street and Notre-Dame Street West, downtown concentrates office towers, condo towers and ground-floor retail. The hardware here is almost always commercial, labelled and high-cycle.
Our Analysis
Class A and B commercial office towers
Exit devices here absorb several thousand cycles a day on labelled fire-rated door assemblies, which rules out any non-certified replacement component.
High-rise residential condominium towers
Fob-based entry sits alongside common-area cylinders, so without a patented, non-duplicable key a single lost key compromises every shared space in the tower.
Ground-floor retail and restaurant storefronts (St-Catherine W., Peel St)
Narrow-stile aluminium glass doors pair panic hardware with a hookbolt, requiring hardware that guarantees free egress at all times while still locking out after hours.
Security Hardware
Downtown, a badly fitted door is not only a theft risk: it is an egress failure. We install, repair and adjust labelled commercial hardware:
High-Security Locks
We supply and install Medeco, Abloy and other patented-key cylinders certified to UL 437. Essential for office towers and condo common areas, where one lost key compromises the whole building.
Door Reinforcement and Anti-Theft and Vandalism Protection
We reinforce glass storefronts and access doors with astragals, cylinder guards and reinforcement plates, and repair the damage left behind after a break-in attempt.
Grade 1 Electric Strike
We install Grade 1 electric strikes in fail-safe or fail-secure mode depending on the opening, interfaced with the building’s access control and fire alarm.
Exit Devices and Panic Bars for Condominiums
Exit devices guarantee free egress at all times. We install and repair panic bars on labelled fire doors, including Adams Rite models for aluminium doors.
Grade 1 Door Closer
We adjust and replace Grade 1 door closers on high-traffic doors: closing speed, opening force to accessibility standards, and proper seal on fire-rated assemblies.
