Push Bar Installation in Toronto and GTA
Durability for High-Traffic Entrances
For non-latching commercial doors (typically used with deadbolts), a standard Push Bar and Pull Handle is the most durable and ergonomic solution. Found on thousands of storefronts in Toronto, these bars allow customers to open heavy glass doors using their body weight. Installix supplies and installs robust push/pull hardware for aluminum and glass doors, replacing loose, pitted, or broken handles with fresh, secure hardware.
Why Replace Push Bars?
Loose Mountings
Over time, the set screws or through-bolts loosen. A wobbly handle feels cheap and unsafe to customers. Eventually, it will rip out of the door stile, leaving ugly holes.
Corrosion
Salt and winter grime pit the finish of aluminum handles. Replacing old, oxidized bars with new clear anodized or black hardware instantly refreshes your storefront's look.
The Solution: Offset Pulls & Panic Bars
We install standard offset pulls (for glass doors) and tubular push bars. We ensure the mounting hardware is compatible with your door type (glass, aluminum, or wood).
Why Choose Installix?
- Secure Mounting: We use cone-head bolts and threadlocker (Loctite) to ensure handles stay tight despite thousands of cycles.
- Glass Protection: We use plastic washers and gaskets to prevent metal-on-glass contact which causes breakage.
- Style Match: We match the finish (Aluminum, Dark Bronze, Stainless) to your existing frames.
Technical Specifications
| Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Offset Pull | Standard for storefront doors. Offsets the handle to allow key access to the lock cylinder. |
| Push Bar | Horizontal bar running across the door. Provides a large surface area for pushing. |
| Ladder Pull | Straight, vertical stainless steel bars (24"-72" long). Popular for modern frameless doors. |
Our Process: Tight & Right
Step 1: Measurement
We measure the "Center-to-Center" (CTC) distance of the existing mounting holes to find a replacement that fits without drilling new holes.
Step 2: Removal
We remove the old seized hardware, often requiring specialized extraction tools.
Step 3: Installation
We install the new pull/push set. We check the alignment to ensure it doesn't interfere with the lock or the door stop.
Pricing Factors
- Style: Designer ladder pulls cost significantly more than standard aluminum offset pulls.
- Custom CTC: If the holes are non-standard, we may need to order custom handles or drill new holes (glass doors cannot be drilled; custom handles are mandatory).
