Custom Safe-Door Installation for Axiom Real-Time Metrics in Mississauga

The original safe-door assembly brought its own dimensions, weight, mechanical clearances and aged metalwork. Integrating it into a contemporary office environment could not be handled as a standard door opening or an off-the-shelf architectural detail.

The closed and open source views established the assembly's actual geometry before the final integration. Those conditions guided the custom framing, metal adaptation and clearances required around the door.

AutoCAD drawings were used to develop the purpose-made details and coordinate the surrounding construction. The drawings translated the safe assembly's existing geometry into components that could be cut, formed and fitted for the boardroom.

This planning stage connected design decisions with fabrication and installation. It gave the team a controlled reference for the custom framing, stainless-steel pieces and final alignment instead of relying on field adjustment alone.

These photographs compare the safe door in its closed position before and after the custom metalwork and surrounding construction were completed. The viewpoints are complementary rather than pixel-aligned, so they are presented as an honest paired record instead of an interactive overlay.

The finished stainless surround, fitted wall edges and boardroom finishes give the heavy historic assembly a deliberate place within the modern commercial interior.

The second paired record follows the assembly in its open position. It shows how the door, frame, stainless details and adjoining boardroom construction were brought together while maintaining the clearances required by the substantial historic metalwork.

The completed open view also makes the physical scale of the door more apparent within the boardroom. The installation remains visually consistent whether the door is photographed open or closed.

Final fitting and assembly brought together the safe door, custom stainless components and surrounding commercial finishes. The goal was a resolved architectural installation rather than a historic object placed beside unrelated modern construction.

The closed view presents a strong stainless composition across the boardroom wall. The open view records the depth and physical presence of the approximately 15-ton assembly while keeping the completed detailing visible around it.
