Commercial Garage Door Installation Burnaby

Burnaby splits cleanly into logistics down on the Fraser, light industrial along Still Creek and Boundary Road, business parks up at Lake City, and a forest of new strata towers at Metrotown, Brentwood and Highgate. We install the right door for each: dock doors with levelers and seals, insulated sectional for the shops, and rolling grilles with high-cycle operators for the parkades.

Commercial Garage Door Installation Burnaby: who we are and what we do

Custom Commercial Garage Doors Ltd installs new and replacement commercial garage doors throughout Burnaby, BC: dock doors in Big Bend, insulated sectional doors in the Still Creek and Lake City business parks, and rolling grilles with high-cycle operators in the Metrotown, Brentwood and Highgate parkades. Amarr, Hörmann and Raynor doors with LiftMaster, Manaras and GDI operators.

The commercial garage door installation Burnaby property managers call us about most is a parkade entry: a rolling grille or steel gate on a high-cycle operator, with loop detectors, safety edges and a timer-to-close, installed between the morning and evening rush so residents keep getting in and out.

This page covers Burnaby specifically. The door types, brands and the full picker live on our commercial garage door installation hub, and existing doors in Burnaby are handled on our Burnaby commercial garage door repair page.

Commercial Garage Door Installation Burnaby: Hörmann HDD insulated dock doors of the type installed on Big Bend distribution buildings

Burnaby areas we install in

The door that fits a Marine Way distribution centre is wrong for a Brentwood tower, and both are wrong for a Still Creek fabrication shop. Here is how we see the city.

Big Bend and Marine Way. Some of the largest distribution buildings in Metro Vancouver sit between Marine Way and the Fraser. Dock positions here run two shifts, so we specify insulated sectional dock doors with high-lift track and operators rated for the daily cycle count, plus Hörmann levelers, seals and restraints as one package.
Still Creek and Boundary Road. A dense grid of 1970s and 1980s concrete-block and tilt-up industrial buildings, many now film, food and trade shops. Grade-level openings, often with limited headroom, so low-headroom track and trolley operators come up a lot.
Lake City Business Park (Lougheed and Production Way). Newer multi-tenant light industrial and tech buildings with one or two doors per unit. Owners here want a clean 24-gauge insulated sectional with vision lites and a quiet medium-duty operator.
Willingdon corridor and Canada Way. Older light industrial mixed with office towers that have their own parkades; a mix of rolling steel service doors and parkade gates.
Metrotown, Brentwood and Highgate. High-density strata towers. Parkade entries here cycle past 100 times a day, which pushes the spec toward a rolling grille or steel gate on a 10,000-cycle-per-day operator with loop detection and safety edges.
Kingsway and Edmonds auto strips. Dealerships and body shops: full-view aluminum doors on the showroom face and insulated sectional on the service bays.

Door types that fit Burnaby buildings

Dock doors for Marine Way

Hörmann 440U/450U or Amarr 2742/2743 polyurethane sectional, sized to the dock opening, with high-lift track where trailers back under the header. Dock equipment is specified with the door: Hörmann HLS2-P hinged-lip or HTL2 tapered-lip levelers, DSL seals or Model 100/200 cushion seals, restraints and dock lights.

Low-headroom sectional for Still Creek

Older Still Creek buildings often have ductwork and sprinkler mains right above the opening. We use low-headroom track with a Manaras OTH trolley, which needs only 6.25 inches of headroom, or a jackshaft operator that mounts beside the shaft instead of on the ceiling.

Amarr 4300 rolling grille for Metrotown and Brentwood parkade entries in Burnaby

Rolling grilles for the towers

Amarr 4300 rolling grille for ventilated parkade entries; Amarr 4000 or 4100 rolling steel where the opening needs to be closed solid. Both coil into a hood above the opening, so they fit the shallow ramps on Burnaby parkades.

Full-view aluminum on Kingsway

Hörmann 720A (1-3/4 inch extruded aluminum, nine glazing options) or 750A for larger openings, Amarr 3552 and Raynor AlumaView AV200/AV300. Glazing can be mixed by section so the bottom row stays private.

Brand pages: Amarr commercial doors, Hörmann 450U, Amarr 2743. Every model named here is one we are a dealer for and service afterward.

Operators we fit on Burnaby doors

A Burnaby parkade gate and a Burnaby dock door both work hard, but in different ways: the gate cycles constantly with light loads, the dock door moves a heavy insulated panel fewer times. We size the operator to the door weight, lift type and daily cycles and install LiftMaster, Manaras or GDI accordingly. Model guides are on our operator installation page.

GDI JHMG-VC

10,000 cycles a day; our pick for Metrotown and Brentwood parkade gates.

LiftMaster GH / GT

Heavy-industrial gear-head hoist and trolley for Big Bend dock doors cycling more than 90 times a day; 1/2 to 3 HP.

LiftMaster MJ / MH / MT

Medium-duty 1/2 HP 115 V jackshaft, hoist and trolley for Lake City units that open up to 12 times an hour.

Getting to Burnaby from our Richmond shop

Our shop is on River Road in Richmond. For Big Bend and Marine Way we take the Knight Street Bridge and Marine Way, usually 20 to 30 minutes. Still Creek, Boundary Road and Brentwood are 30 to 40 minutes up Boundary. Lake City and Lougheed are 35 to 50 minutes depending on how Highway 1 is behaving at Willingdon. Site measures are booked in the morning when we can, so we are ahead of the afternoon bridge traffic. For breakdowns on an existing door see commercial garage door repair in Burnaby.

Replacement and custom-size doors in Burnaby

Older Still Creek and Willingdon buildings rarely have a stock opening, and the Big Bend docks often have header heights that only make sense with high-lift track. We measure every opening, including headroom, side room and backroom, and order the door and track to those numbers. For replacements we remove and haul the old door, repair jambs that the old hardware has chewed up, and fit the new door on the same visit where the structure allows, scheduled so the bay or the parkade entry is not down during your busy hours.

For warehouse owners, commercial garage door installation Burnaby style means dock positions: door, high-lift track, operator, leveler, seal and restraint quoted line by line and replaced one position at a time so receiving keeps running.

Want to see it first? Upload a photo of the building to the commercial door designer, line up the opening and try the door types above in your own colours; the 4K download is handy for the owner, the landlord or the strata council. After the install the same crew looks after the door: maintenance programs, spring replacement, cable and track work and 24/7 emergency repair. If a vehicle has hit the door or the header, our impact repair and ICBC property damage pages explain how that is handled.

Commercial Garage Door Installation Burnaby FAQ

Who installs commercial garage doors in Burnaby?

Custom Commercial Garage Doors Ltd, a Richmond-based commercial-only door company. We install Amarr, Hörmann and Raynor doors and LiftMaster, Manaras and GDI operators across Burnaby and service them afterward. Call (604) 206-5727.

Do you install parkade gates for Metrotown and Brentwood strata towers?

Yes. Rolling grilles and steel gates on high-cycle operators such as the GDI JHMG-VC, with loop detectors and safety edges, are a regular part of our Burnaby work.

Can you replace dock doors at a Big Bend distribution centre without stopping receiving?

Yes. Dock positions are replaced one at a time and scheduled around your shifts, and we specify the leveler, seal and restraint with the door so the whole position is done in one visit.

My Still Creek shop has almost no headroom above the door. What are the options?

Low-headroom track with a Manaras OTH trolley, which needs only 6.25 inches, or a jackshaft operator mounted beside the torsion shaft. We measure first and spec the track to the space you actually have.

Can I see what a new door would look like on my Burnaby building first?

Yes. Upload a photo to our commercial door designer, line up the opening and try sectional, full-view, rolling steel and grille doors in your colours, then download the picture or send it to us for a quote.
