Large Commercial Rolling Steel Door — Distribution Loading Dock, Mississauga

The Challenge

The industrial distribution loading area in Mississauga needed a robust rolling steel service door to secure a large exterior opening. The environment, marked by corrugated metal siding, red brick, concrete block walls, and a floor trench drain, sees constant forklift and vehicle traffic. Without a proper door, this setup risks cold air infiltration, safety hazards, and compromised security. The trench drain posed an additional challenge, requiring precise sill detailing during installation.

The Solution

Wilcox Door Service installed a large rolling steel service door featuring metallic silver panels and green-grey frame jambs. The installation included yellow safety bollards to guard against vehicle impacts, crucial in such a high-traffic area. The team expertly accommodated the existing trench drain, ensuring a precise fit. Yellow/black caution tape was used to delineate the work zone, maintaining safety and order during the process. This configuration was chosen for its durability and ability to withstand the rigors of an active industrial environment.
