Who we are: Richmond's door company

Just Doors is a door company first, and Richmond's particular mix of building types rewards that focus. Richmond sits on the flat delta of the Fraser, and it's building dense high-rise across the City Centre (Brighouse, Aberdeen, Lansdowne) while keeping its low-rise character in Steveston and a huge industrial and airport-adjacent base near YVR. A general contractor or a building-supply counter treats doors as one line among hundreds; we do nothing else, which is why our door packages arrive on site ready to hang and pass inspection the first time.

We specify the assembly, supply the doors, frames, and hardware as one coordinated package, produce the door schedule the trades and inspectors build against, and coordinate the install through a vetted Lower Mainland partner. For a Richmond homeowner, that's a single accountable source for a door done right. For the developers building out the City Centre and the GCs running Richmond's commercial and industrial work, it means the door scope is a known, standardized, buildable quantity. Just Doors is a division of the Builderhaus trade network and an EyeSpyR-verified local business, and because our install partner also frames and finishes walls, the wall repairs and ceiling adjustments a door swap often needs are handled by the same team.

Why Richmond door work is its own market

Richmond follows the British Columbia Building Code, administered by the City of Richmond's building approvals department, with fire review through Richmond Fire-Rescue. But two Richmond-specific realities shape door work here more than the code does: the delta soil and flood construction, and the proximity to Vancouver International Airport.

Because Richmond is built on the low, soft soils of the Fraser delta and sits largely within the floodplain, buildings are constructed to elevated flood-construction levels — finished floors raised above the flood elevation — and on deep foundations engineered for the soft ground and seismic conditions. For doors, the flood-construction reality means exterior thresholds, entries, and the transitions between raised floor levels have to be detailed correctly, and the seismic soil conditions feed into how openings move with the building. And because much of Richmond lies under YVR's flight paths, aircraft noise makes acoustic performance a real design concern — suite entries and exterior-adjacent doors in the higher-noise areas are specified with sound in mind. Just Doors works the door schedule backward into these conditions so the openings suit Richmond's flood levels, soils, and noise environment.

Door types matched to Richmond's building stock

City Centre (Brighouse, Aberdeen, Lansdowne): high-rise residential and mixed-use

Richmond's City Centre is a dense, transit-served high-rise district, and door work here is concrete-tower work: 20- to 45-minute fire-rated solid-core suite entries with acoustic drop seals and smoke gasketing; 90-minute to 2-hour hollow-metal stairwell and shaft doors with panic hardware and commercial closers; and amenity, parkade, and service-room doors. The area's large retail and commercial podium base — including some of the region's busiest Asian shopping centres — adds storefront and aluminum entrance work and high-traffic commercial hardware.

Steveston & the west side: heritage and residential

Steveston's heritage fishing-village character and Richmond's established residential neighbourhoods run to custom single-family, townhouse, and low-rise. Door packages here are finish-driven — solid-core flush and panel interiors, weather-appropriate entries, and, in the heritage areas, doors chosen to respect the village character. The coastal, damp delta exposure makes moisture-stable cores and sealed edges important on exterior-adjacent openings.

Bridgeport, YVR lands & industrial: commercial and logistics

Richmond's industrial and airport-adjacent lands — Bridgeport, the areas around YVR, and the logistics and warehouse corridors — carry heavy hollow-metal, warehouse man-door, and rated-separation work. Logistics and distribution buildings bring high volumes of man-doors adjacent to overhead loading, rated separations between warehouse and office, and commercial-grade hardware built for constant use.

Townhouse corridors

Richmond's townhouse and low-rise multi-family growth brings high-volume, repetitive door work — unit entry doors (often with a fire-rated garage-to-house requirement), interior passage and closet doors, and demising-wall doors — where a package specified once and repeated across a complex delivers the most value.

Security doors and access control across Richmond

Security spans every Richmond sector. For residential and townhouse clients, reinforced entry doors with multi-point locking, solid or steel-reinforced cores, and strike reinforcement. For multi-family towers, a system: secured main-entry doors with electronic access control, parkade and bike-room doors on fobs, amenity access tied to the building system, and suite entries that resist forced entry while meeting egress and fire code. For commercial and industrial tenancies — heavily represented in Richmond's retail centres and logistics lands — storefront security, secured warehouse man-doors, records and server-room access, and after-hours lockdown hardware.

Security hardware has to coexist with life-safety code: a secured stairwell or exit door still has to allow free egress under the BC Building Code and NFPA 101, so electrified hardware, delayed-egress devices, and access-controlled openings must satisfy both the security goal and the egress requirement at once. Electronic access changes the door and frame prep before hardware arrives — power transfer, strike or mag-lock prep, and low-voltage coordination, all resolved at the door schedule. Just Doors specifies security and access-controlled doors as complete, code-satisfying assemblies.

Fire-rated and fireproof doors in Richmond

Under the BC Building Code, Richmond multi-family suite entries carry 20- to 45-minute ratings with self-closing and positive-latching hardware and smoke seals; townhouse garage-to-house doors require a fire-rated, self-closing assembly; and stairwells, shafts, and high-hazard rooms escalate to 90-minute, 1-hour, and 2-hour assemblies. A fire door is a tested assembly — the leaf label, frame label, hinges, closer, and latching hardware all have to match a listed configuration, and NFPA 80 governs the field conditions: the perimeter gap, the maximum undercut, positive latching, and no field modifications outside the listing. Richmond Fire-Rescue checks these. Just Doors supplies fire assemblies as coordinated, labelled packages with the documentation inspectors look for.

Acoustic doors for Richmond's towers and flight paths

Acoustic performance carries extra weight in Richmond because of the airport. Beyond the usual strata-density noise concerns, suites and buildings under YVR's flight paths deal with aircraft noise, and doors are the weak point in an otherwise isolated envelope. Just Doors specifies acoustic suite entries as a system — a solid core selected for its STC contribution, full perimeter gasketing, and an automatic drop seal at the sill — so the assembled opening stays close to the surrounding wall's rating. In townhouse and low-rise work, the same discipline applies at demising and shared-corridor doors.

The delta climate, flood levels, and door performance

Richmond's location on the Fraser delta makes moisture and flood construction genuine door-performance issues. Coastal humidity swings during construction — before HVAC is commissioned — can swell and bind wood doors, so doors should be acclimatized to the building's eventual moisture content before hanging, with moisture-stable cores and sealed edges. And because Richmond builds to elevated flood-construction levels, exterior entries and the transitions at raised floor levels have to be detailed so the doors sit and operate correctly at the required elevations. Just Doors manages these conditions as part of the door scope rather than discovering them at handover.

Door hardware, schedules, and site coordination

Hardware is where a package supports a building or becomes a liability — Richmond's towers increasingly run electronic access at amenities, parkades, and suites, changing the prep before hardware arrives, and code-governed openings need hardware that satisfies the rating and egress at once. The highest-leverage service on a Richmond project is a clean door schedule: Just Doors enumerates every opening, assigns ratings and hardware groups, and flags the rough-opening and backing requirements the framers need, so procurement and inspection run smoothly. Delivery is coordinated to each site — City Centre tower hoists and clearances, spread-out townhouse staging, and industrial sites' active-operation and large-opening conditions.

What Richmond door work costs

Pricing spans a wide range because the openings do — a paint-grade townhouse interior door and a 2-hour rated hollow-metal warehouse assembly with panic hardware are not the same line item. Cost drivers: the fire rating, the core and face, the hardware group, and specialty conditions (fire-rated glazing, oversized leaves, electronic access, acoustic sealing). Rather than publish placeholder rates, Just Doors prices from the actual door schedule and returns an itemized takeoff — a number Richmond developers and GCs can carry into a bid or pro forma with confidence.

Richmond door FAQ

Does Richmond follow the same door code as Vancouver? No. Richmond follows the British Columbia Building Code, administered by the City of Richmond's building approvals department with fire review through Richmond Fire-Rescue, whereas the City of Vancouver uses its own standalone bylaw. Assemblies should be verified against the BC Building Code and Richmond's requirements.

Does building on the Fraser delta affect door installation in Richmond? Yes, indirectly. Richmond builds to elevated flood-construction levels and on foundations engineered for soft delta soils, so exterior entries and the transitions at raised floor levels have to be detailed to sit correctly at the required elevations, and the seismic soil conditions inform how openings accommodate building movement.

Do doors near YVR need special acoustic treatment? Suites and buildings under the airport's flight paths deal with aircraft noise, and doors are the acoustic weak point. We specify solid cores with full perimeter gasketing and automatic drop seals so suite entries and exterior-adjacent openings help keep aircraft and corridor noise out.

What fire rating do Richmond multi-family suite entries need? Typically a certified 20- to 45-minute fire-protection rating with self-closing hardware, positive latching, and smoke seals; stairwells, shafts, and high-hazard rooms escalate higher. The full assembly must match a listed configuration to pass Richmond Fire-Rescue review.

Do you handle industrial and logistics doors near the airport? Yes. We supply hollow-metal exterior and rated man-doors, warehouse and overhead-adjacent openings, commercial entrances, and rated separations for Richmond's logistics, distribution, and airport-adjacent buildings.
