About Elgin Mills Door Hardware Co.
The question we get asked most in Richmond Hill is some version of "is this a door problem or a hardware problem?" Nine times in ten it is hardware, and the reason it matters is money. A property manager who has been told the suite doors need replacing is looking at a capital project, when what the building actually needs is closers sized properly and strikes that line up.
Elgin Mills Door Hardware Co. answers that question for a living. We work on closers, exit devices, hold-opens, floor springs and power operators, and on nothing else. The calls come from three places, mostly. The condo and apartment towers along Yonge and around Langstaff, where corridor and stairwell separations have to close and latch on their own and the record has to show it. The professional suites — medical, dental, legal — in the low-rise buildings on Yonge and through Beaver Creek Business Park, where the entrance is all glass, the closer is buried in the floor, and a leaf that has dropped a few millimetres drags on the threshold every single swing. And the plazas along Highway 7, Major Mackenzie and Elgin Mills, whose tenant entrances take brine and grit from the first thaw in November to the last one in April.
Oak Ridges deserves its own line. It sits high on the moraine and is more exposed than the rest of the town, so a closer set on a mild afternoon in Crosby can be badly out of adjustment on a door up there in January. We set for the season and the exposure, not for the weather on the day we happened to be standing in front of the door.
Nothing gets touched before you have a written scope and a number. If the honest answer is that a valve needs a quarter turn, that is the answer you get.
