Why Choose a Professional Door Installer
Waterproofing Matters
Doors are the #1 source of water intrusion in Vancouver homes. We install integrated sill pans, flash tape the rough opening, and apply a three-bead sealant system — not just a line of caulking.
Security Hardware
We install multi-point locking systems that engage at the head, sill, and jamb simultaneously. Standard single-point deadbolts leave the door vulnerable to pry attacks at the top and bottom.
Energy Performance
A poorly installed door can leak more air than three windows combined. We shim, foam, and seal to achieve an air infiltration rate under 1.5 L/s/m² — meeting BC Building Code performance targets.

Door Installer FAQ
How do I find a door installer near me?
Look for a company with WorkSafeBC clearance, $2M+ liability insurance, and verifiable local projects. Nixon Glass has been installing doors across Greater Vancouver since 2009 with $5M CGL coverage.
Can you replace a patio door without replacing the frame?
It depends on the frame condition. If the existing frame is structurally sound and the new door is the same size, we can do an insert installation. If the frame is rotted, warped, or undersized, a full-frame replacement is required for proper weatherproofing.
How long does a door installation take?
A standard patio or entry door installation takes 3–6 hours. Complex projects like triple-track sliders or custom French doors may take a full day. Commercial entrance systems typically require 1–2 days.
Do you install doors in the rain?
Yes — we use temporary barriers to keep your home dry during the swap. Vancouver rain does not delay most door installations, though we avoid scheduling during severe storms.
