Egress Geometry That Passes
Every flight is set out to code-compliant rise and run with guard and handrail heights that hold up to inspection. The geometry is dimensioned before fabrication, so the as-built stair matches what the AHJ approved.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from fire escapes in Scarborough
Treads That Shed Snow
Open-grate treads let snow, ice melt, and rain fall straight through instead of packing into a slick layer underfoot. That keeps the egress path usable in a Canadian winter without anyone having to shovel a fourth-floor landing.
Anchored Into Solid Backup
We anchor stringers and landing brackets into structural backup rather than soft brick veneer, with embeds sized for the real pull-out and shear loads. On older masonry walls that means coordinating fixings to the structural wythe behind the face.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Throughout
The whole assembly is hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, so the zinc coats inside connections and cut ends where exterior steel usually starts to rust. It is the finish that lets a bolted egress stair survive decades of weather without a repaint cycle.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your fire escapes with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Fire Escapes
Fire Escapes is custom-fabricated or coordinated for commercial, industrial, municipal, institutional, retail, and construction sites, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds fire escapes around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using mild steel, structural steel, galvanized finish, powder-coat, stainless details, or aluminum where the site calls for it, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
- 01 Send your inquiry, drawings, photos, or a description of what you need.
- 02 We come measure and assess the Scarborough site (or work from your specs and drawings).
- 03 We fabricate your fire escapes to spec in our shop, finished for the conditions.
- 04 We return to deliver and install it, set, levelled, and done right on site.
