Where we work in Whitby
From Downtown Whitby, Brooklin, Port Whitby, Whitby Shores, West Lynde, Lynde Creek, Pringle Creek, Rolling Acres, Williamsburg, Taunton North, Blue Grass Meadows and Whitby Industrial, we cover every Whitby neighbourhood — plus the surrounding Durham communities.
Plaza and power-centre entrances on the Thickson Road corridor. Thickson Road is where most of Whitby's retail sits, and it is where most of our call-outs come from. The Entertainment Centrum at Thickson and Consumers Drive, the Whitby Mall and Thickson Place strip at Dundas East, the newer plaza space up at Taunton East: hundreds of tenant entrances, every one of them an aluminum-and-glass door on a closer that cycles from open to close all day. Those doors take wind straight off the parking field with nothing to break it, and a gust that catches a leaf past its backcheck is what tears an arm out of a shoe bracket or splits the header. Sizing the closer for the exposure, and setting the backcheck so the door stops itself before the frame does, is the difference between a unit that lasts and one we are back at every spring.
High-cycle doors in the Whitby Industrial lands south of the 401. South Whitby — the employment lands off Consumers Drive, Hopkins, Burns and the Brock Street South corridor down toward Port Whitby — is warehouses, distribution and light manufacturing, and the hardware there lives a completely different life than an office door. A personnel door beside a shipping bay, a lunchroom door, a door onto a mezzanine stair: these are shouldered open by people carrying things, held with a foot, hit by pallet jacks and cycled hundreds of times a shift. Standard-duty closers do not survive that. We size for the actual cycle count, use heavy-duty units and parallel-arm mounting where the door gets abused, and reinforce the mounting instead of screwing a new closer into the same chewed-out holes.
Calls and form requests from 905 numbers across Whitby and Durham Region get a callback within one business day — often same day for urgent commercial door closer & exit hardware service in Whitby.
