Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from loading dock doors in Ottawa
Seals meet the dock floor
Bottom seals and thresholds are matched to worn slabs, dock levelers, and weather exposure. Small gaps at the bottom become water, snow, and pest problems.
Panels suit bay cycles
Busy dock doors need hardware and panels chosen for high daily use. Springs, rollers, hinges, and tracks should match the cycle demand.
Dock equipment coordinated
Levelers, bumpers, seals, shelters, guards, and restraints all affect door operation. The door is checked as part of the full bay.
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 loading dock doors with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
