Heavy-Duty Door Solutions That Keep Toronto Businesses Moving
In Toronto’s busy industrial zones and commercial centres, reliability isn’t a luxury — it’s a must. Whether you're operating a warehouse near the airport, a manufacturing unit in North York, or a service shop in Etobicoke, your garage doors and shutters need to perform daily without fail. At Quest Doors, we specialize in industrial rolling shutters, electric garage doors, sectional door systems, and shutter installation. We install, repair, and service these doors across Toronto and the GTA — for facilities that run early, close late, and can’t afford downtime.
Industrial Rolling Shutters – Built Tough for Daily Grind
Rolling shutters are a staple in industrial buildings — and for good reason. They’re compact, durable, and made to take a beating. From loading docks to mechanic bays, our industrial rolling shutters can be custom-built for extra height, width, insulation, or fire protection.
If your existing shutter is jammed, loud, or uneven — we’ll inspect it and replace only what’s necessary. And if it’s beyond repair? We’ll install a new shutter that fits your opening and your workflow.
Customer Note:
“We had two rolling shutters stuck open during a cold snap. Quest came same day, real pros, and didn’t try to sell us new doors. They repaired both and saved us a lot.” – Samir, Scarborough industrial facility
Electric Garage Doors – Smooth, Secure, and Easy to Operate
Looking for a quieter, smarter, and more efficient overhead door? Our electric garage doors combine modern motors with steel or aluminum panels, insulated for Canadian winters and built for years of smooth operation.
These aren’t off-the-shelf home doors. We fit commercial-grade operators, safety features, and remote control options for high-use environments. We can install them with motion sensors, keypad entry, or manual overrides — depending on your building’s needs.
Already have one installed that’s acting up? We troubleshoot and repair all makes — whether it’s the opener, the sensors, or the alignment
Sectional Door Installation and Repairs in Toronto
Sectional doors offer excellent thermal performance and a clean finish — great for heated warehouses, delivery depots, or food storage units. They lift vertically, saving space inside and out, and can be installed with vision panels or heavy-duty seals. We offer: New sectional door installations Spring, cable, and track repairs Door balance adjustments Panel replacements Preventative service packages If your sectional door is sagging, slamming, or noisy, call us. One of our local techs will come out and give you a straight answer — no upsell, just solid repairs that last.
Custom Shutter Installation – Tailored to Your Building
No two buildings are exactly alike — and neither are our shutters. We measure, design, and fabricate rolling doors and shutters that work with your layout, even if it’s an odd height or has structural challenges.
We’ve installed shutters in:
Mall shops with glass corners
Underground garages in downtown condos
Warehouse units with very high clearance
Retail shops with minimal space for stacking
Whether you need a shutter that blends into a storefront or one that withstands heavy forklift traffic, we’ve done it before and we’ll do it again — right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an industrial rolling shutter and a sectional garage door?
While both rolling shutters and sectional garage doors serve to secure and seal large openings, they differ significantly in design, functionality, and suitability for different environments.
Rolling shutters consist of horizontal slats that roll up into a coil above the opening. They’re ideal for industrial or commercial facilities that require a compact solution with high durability, such as warehouses, loading docks, or underground garages. These doors are especially suited for environments where ceiling space is limited or where constant use demands minimal maintenance and quick repairs.
On the other hand, sectional doors operate on tracks and lift vertically, with panels that fold and slide along the ceiling. They offer better insulation and are commonly used in commercial buildings, fire stations, and distribution centers that require a clean look and tighter environmental control. Sectional doors can include windows for visibility and natural light and are generally quieter and more customizable in appearance.
Both systems can be motorized, insulated, and customized — but your choice will depend on your building’s space, layout, frequency of use, and performance needs.
How long does it take to install a new rolling shutter or garage door system?
What are the most common repair issues with industrial and commercial garage doors?
In Toronto’s heavy-use commercial environments, a few issues come up frequently across all door types:
Spring fatigue and breakage: Industrial garage doors rely on powerful torsion or extension springs. These wear out over time, especially in high-cycle environments like delivery depots. A snapped spring will prevent the door from opening entirely.
Misaligned or worn tracks: Frequent use, impacts from vehicles, or poor maintenance can bend or misalign the tracks, causing the door to jam or rub during movement.
Damaged slats or panels: On rolling shutters, individual slats can be dented or bent from equipment strikes. In sectional doors, the lower panels often absorb damage from forklifts or weather.
Motor or opener failure: Especially in electric systems, motor burnout, gear issues, or control board failures can cause erratic door movement or complete shutdowns.
Sensor and safety feature malfunctions: Safety edge sensors and photo-eyes are essential in electric doors. Dust, misalignment, or electrical faults can trigger false stops or prevent the door from closing fully.
We recommend preventative maintenance every 6–12 months to identify these issues early and extend the lifespan of your doors.
Installation timelines vary depending on the type of door, site conditions, and any custom fabrication involved — but in general:
Rolling shutter installations typically take 4 to 6 hours for a standard opening. Larger or more complex installs (e.g., fire-rated shutters or oversized loading docks) may take a full day or two, especially if structural steel supports or electrical work is required.
Sectional door installations usually take 6 to 8 hours, given the need for precise alignment of tracks, springs, and motors. If the job involves removing an old door, retrofitting into a tight space, or accommodating glass sections, extra time should be allowed.
Electric garage doors, particularly when added to a new build or upgrade project, can be installed in one business day. This includes fitting the door, installing the motor, setting up remotes, and testing the safety systems.
We always do a pre-site assessment to plan logistics, ensure safety compliance, and coordinate with other trades if necessary. We also schedule installations during off-hours when needed, especially for retail or mall locations.
