Portes Dorion
has been manufaturing garage doors since 1948. This small company when it started with residential garage doors has become over the years an international company specializing in all kinds of industrial doors be it sectional overhead and vertical doors, rolling steel doors, multiblades doors, roll-up rubber rapid doors, etc. In the trend of the mega doors we have manufactured airplanes hangar doors, special anti-radar doors, craneway bay doors, top multiblades vertical door combined with bottom sliding door, telescopic doors, lock doors, etc. specific for each project.

Portes Dorion also manufactures industrial motorized barrier gates such as cantilever gates that operate with a rack-and-pinion mechanism, swinging gates, etc. Our shop manufacturing is governed by our quality assurance program. All our welders and our welding procedures are governed and certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB).

Our installers are all governed by the Commission de la Construction du Québec (CCQ) and hold their qualification cards. Our installers are also subjected to our quality assurance program via the installation methods and startups on the jobsites. We are registered with Cognibox.

We have an engineering department that works on the design and on the development of special doors specific to projects and more than once following inquiries from architects and engineering consultants firms.
All our doors can be designed and manufactured according to the owner's specifications.

Portes Dorion has developed an overhead sectional door 102 mm thick that can withstand wind loads up to 2.5 kPa.

One of our best innovations since the last five years is the fact that our electrically overhead sectional doors and our roll-up rubber rapid doors now operate without the assistance of torsion springs or counterweights.  This innovation minimizes repair costs and the doors last longer. 

All commands to operate the electric doors can derive from separate control panels in which are mounted programmable PLCs and other components such as motion sensors, wind alarm, photocells and timers to have entirely automated doors.




Portes Dorion has realized many large scale projects.  The doors were manufactured in our shops and installed by our personnel.  Here are some of these projects:

- Hydro-electric power stations

For Hydro-Québec we have designed, manufactured and installed special multiblades doors and others for :
  • Centrale Grand-Mère
  • Centrale de Beauharnois which had one overhead sectional door incorporated into the bottom blade of the special multiblades door
  • Centrale Les Cèdres, SM-3 (Sainte-Marguerite 3)
  • Centrale de l'Eastmain-1
  • Centrale  Rivière des Prairies
  • Centrale Rapide Blanc
  • Centrale Trenche
  • Poste Berri
  • Poste Maisonneuve
  • Centrale Rapide des Quinze
  • Centrale Chûte Allard
  • Centrale Rapide des Cœurs
  • Centrale La Sarcelle
  • Centrale Eastmain-1-A
  •  Etc.

- Smelter projects
  • Aluminerie Lauralco in Deschambault who had many multiblades doors and vertical giant doors.
  • Aluminerie Alcan in Alma for which we have supplied multiblades doors, overhead sectional doors and sliding doors
  • Aluminerie Reynolds in Baie-Comeau and in Massena, New York, for which we have designed, manufactured and installed special doors for craneway bays.
  • Norsk-Hydro in Bécancour where we had to find a solution to the magnetism problem that existed in some different areas. 
  • Métallurgie Magnolain in Shipton for which we have designed, manufactured and installed multiblades doors, overhead sectional doors, rolling steel doors, etc.

  • Fjarðaal Smelter projet in Iceland for which we have started manufacturing the doors at the beginning of 2006 and finished installing them in December 2007.  Since September 2006 our personnel installed the doors as the buildings were ready.  We mobilized an average of 21 to 28 days.  On the 78 doors that we have supplied and installed, there were giant top fabric doors 27 m wide operated by Konecranes wire rope hoist motors combined with bottom bi-directional sliding horizontal doors.  Our overhead sectional doors 102 mm thick were designed for this project to withstand minimum wind loads of 2.5 kPa.  Our roll-up rubber rapid doors were designed to withstand minimum wind loads of 2 kPa.  The overhead sectional doors and the roll-up rubber rapid doors were designed without torsion springs nor chain nor counterweights.
