Commercial Garage Door Installation Delta

Delta is the warehouse floor of the Lower Mainland: Tilbury, Annacis Island and the Deltaport corridor between them hold more food plants, cold storage and container logistics than any other municipality. Add the salt air off the Fraser and Boundary Bay and the door spec changes: polyurethane sectional with galvanized hardware, high-speed doors on the freezer side, and operators rated for round-the-clock cycles.

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

Custom Commercial Garage Doors Ltd installs new and replacement commercial garage doors across Delta, BC: insulated dock and cold-storage doors in Tilbury and on Annacis Island, high-cycle doors along Deltaport Way, and sectional, rolling and hangar doors in Ladner and Tsawwassen. Amarr, Hörmann and Raynor doors paired with LiftMaster, Manaras and GDI operators, installed and serviced by the same crew.

The commercial garage door installation Delta food plants ask us for is usually a cold-storage opening: an Iso Speed Cold 100 on the freezer side, a polyurethane sectional on the exterior wall, and operators specified for the temperature and washdown, quoted line by line.

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

Delta areas we install in

Delta is three communities with very different buildings joined by River Road and Highway 17. What we install depends on which one you are in.

  • Tilbury industrial park. Food processing, cold storage, distribution and manufacturing along River Road, Progress Way and the 72nd to 80th Avenue grid. Insulated sectional on the dock face, high-speed rigid doors on freezer and chiller openings, and hardware specified for a damp, salty environment.
  • Annacis Island. Older mixed industrial from the 1960s and 1970s alongside newer logistics. Odd-size openings, low headroom and heavy forklift traffic, which pushes us toward low-headroom track, impact-resistant doors and bollards.
  • Deltaport Way and the Roberts Bank corridor. Container yards, transload buildings and truck shops that run around the clock. Door cycles are high and the wind off the water is relentless, so operators are rated for continuous duty and doors are wind-load rated where the exposure calls for it.
  • Nordel Way and Sunbury. Business parks and truck-service buildings near the Alex Fraser: mostly insulated sectional with vision lites and medium-duty operators.
  • Ladner and Boundary Bay Airport. Marine trades along the Ladner waterfront, agricultural buildings, and hangars at Boundary Bay Airport that need bi-fold, sliding or extra-wide doors.
  • Tsawwassen and the Tsawwassen Mills area. Retail and service buildings, plus the ferry-terminal traffic that keeps the auto and tire shops busy; rolling steel service doors and insulated sectional.

Door types that fit Delta buildings

Cold-storage and food-plant doors

For a freezer or chiller opening we install the Hörmann Iso Speed Cold 100 rigid high-speed door, with a polyurethane sectional such as the Hörmann 440U/450U or Amarr 2743 on the exterior wall. Hörmann SC 1400 Clean Master is the fabric door for cleanroom and wash-down areas. More on our cold storage door page.

Dock packages for Tilbury and Annacis

Dock door, high-lift track, operator and Hörmann dock equipment specified together: HLS2-P hinged-lip or HTL2 tapered-lip levelers, DSL seals or Model 100/200 cushion seals, restraints and LED dock lights, so the position seals when a trailer is in.

Wind and salt

Delta buildings near the water get both. Amarr WindPro wind-load rating is available on the commercial sectional line, Amarr 5652 is the wind-load-certified rolling sheet door, and Raynor SteelPro is a hot-dip galvanized sectional for a corrosive environment.

Impact protection on Annacis Island

Where forklifts live, the Amarr Superflex flexible impact-resistant door saves panels, and bollards are specified with the door; see our bollards and impact protection guide.

Operators we fit on Delta doors

Deltaport-corridor buildings run doors around the clock, so we lean on continuous-duty operators like the GDI HAML-RBH and the Manaras OSH, and we specify washdown or hazardous-location operators where a food plant needs them. A Ladner marine shop that opens a few times a day gets a LiftMaster MJ. The operator is picked from the cycle count, lift type and door weight; see operator installation.

Getting to Delta from our Richmond shop

From River Road in Richmond, Tilbury is one of our shortest trips outside the city: Highway 99 through the Massey Tunnel to River Road or Highway 17, about 20 to 30 minutes. Annacis Island and Nordel Way are 30 to 40 minutes over the Alex Fraser via Highway 91. Deltaport Way, Ladner and Tsawwassen are 30 to 45 minutes down Highway 17 and Highway 17A, longer when the ferry traffic is heavy. For breakdowns on an existing door see commercial garage door repair in Delta.

Custom sizes, cold rooms and replacements in Delta

Cold rooms are where measurement matters most: the high-speed door, the insulated panel behind it and the heater kit on the operator all have to agree with the opening and the slab, and the opening is rarely a stock size. Annacis Island replacements are the other extreme, with 1960s openings that were never standard to begin with. We measure every opening, order the door, track and operator to those numbers, and on a replacement remove and haul the old door, repair the jambs and install the new door on the same visit where the structure allows, planned around your shifts.

For the Tilbury and Annacis warehouses, commercial garage door installation Delta style is a dock position: door, high-lift track, operator, leveler, seal and restraint 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.
