High-Rise Hardware Repairs in Toronto and GTA
Reliable Hardware for Vertical Communities
Condo towers and office high-rises are complex ecosystems. Thousands of residents and workers rely on doors functioning correctly every day. From stairwell fire doors that must latch for safety, to heavy garbage chute doors and common area entrances, hardware failure is a constant battle. Installix offers specialized high-rise hardware repair services. We work with Property Managers and Supers to maintain the mechanical integrity of the building's doors.
Common High-Rise Issues
Stack Pressure (Wind Tunnel Effect)
High-rises act like chimneys. Air pressure rushes up the stairwells and elevator shafts. This massive pressure prevents fire doors from latching or slams them shut violently. We install specialized heavy-duty closers and latching hardware designed to overcome stack pressure.
Stairwell Security
Stairwell doors must allow re-entry on specific floors but remain locked on others for security. We service the mortise locks and electric strikes that control this flow.
Amenity Doors
Pool, gym, and party room doors see high abuse. We reinforce these doors with continuous hinges and kick plates to extend their life.
The Solution: Heavy Duty Retrofits
We replace builder-grade hardware with industrial-grade components. We audit your building's critical doors and provide a maintenance plan to fix sagging, non-latching, or noisy doors before they become a Fire Code violation.
Why Choose Installix?
- Fire Door Certified: We know the rules. We ensure gaps, latches, and closing speeds meet Fire Code.
- Volume Service: We can tackle a 40-story stairwell inspection and repair project efficiently.
- Inventory: We stock the specific mortise locksets (Schlage L-Series, Sargent 8200) commonly found in Toronto towers.

Our Process: Building Audit
Step 1: Walkthrough
We walk the building with the Super to identify problem doors (e.g., Lobby, Garbage, P1/P2 access).
Step 2: Proposal
We provide a detailed quote separating critical fire/life-safety repairs from cosmetic upgrades.
Step 3: Execution
Our technicians work discreetly and cleanly, respecting residents. We provide a completion report for your records.
Pricing Factors
- Lock Function: Electrified mortise locks (for fob systems) are significantly more expensive than mechanical ones.
- Master Keying: Re-keying common areas to a new master system requires precision pinning labor.
- Door Condition: If the hollow metal door is rusted through, we may need to install a wrap-around reinforcer plate or replace the slab.
