Fire-rated commercial doors.
Compliance is not negotiable.
UL-listed fire-rated assemblies with 1-4 hour ratings for commercial buildings, warehouses, and multi-tenant facilities. Professional installation with documentation for permit and inspection records.
We verify the required rating for your occupancy type before quoting.
Fire-rated door situations we handle
Non-compliance, new construction specifications, and ongoing inspection requirements. Find your scenario below.
Building inspection flagged your doors as non-compliant?
Non-compliant fire-rated doors create liability exposure, void insurance policies, and can result in occupancy permit issues. Standard garage doors cannot be retroactively upgraded - the door assembly itself must be UL-listed as a complete fire-rated unit. We replace non-compliant doors with properly rated assemblies and provide documentation for your inspection records.
We verify the required fire rating for your occupancy type and building code jurisdiction before ordering.
Need fire-rated doors specified for a new commercial build?
Commercial buildings with assembly areas, warehouses storing flammable materials, multi-tenant facilities, and structures with fire separation walls all require specific fire ratings. Getting the specification wrong during construction costs significantly more to correct after the fact. We work with contractors and facility managers to specify the correct rating from the start.
We coordinate with your general contractor and provide documentation for permit submissions.
Are your fire-rated doors passing annual inspections?
Fire-rated doors require annual inspections to maintain compliance. Inspections verify that self-closing mechanisms engage properly, intumescent seals are intact, required clearances are maintained, and the UL label remains legible and unaltered. Doors that fail inspection create the same liability as non-compliant installations.
We provide inspection services with written compliance reports suitable for insurance and regulatory documentation.
Not sure what rating your facility requires?
We verify occupancy type, building code jurisdiction, and required ratings before quoting anything.
How fire-rated door projects work
From code verification to compliant installation - a clear process for commercial compliance projects.
Code verification
We verify the required fire rating for your occupancy type and local building code jurisdiction. Rating requirements are confirmed before any door is specified or ordered. Documentation of the code basis provided with your quote.
UL-listed specification
We specify UL-listed door assemblies with all required hardware: self-closing mechanisms, intumescent seals, and compliant frame and hardware components. Written quote with lead times before materials are ordered.
Compliant installation
Professional installation with full compliance testing. Inspection documentation provided. Annual inspection scheduling available through our commercial maintenance contracts.
Fire-rated door questions
What is the cost of fire-rated doors?
Fire-rated doors vary in cost depending on size, fire rating (1-4 hours), and UL listing requirements. Pricing increases with rating level and door specifications. Professional installation and inspection are included. Call for a detailed quote based on your building code requirements.
What fire rating do I need?
Fire rating requirements depend on building codes and occupancy type. Residential attached garages: 20-90 minutes. Commercial/warehouse: 1-3 hours. Multi-tenant/assembly: 3-4 hours. We verify code requirements during consultation.
Are fire-rated doors required by building codes?
Yes, fire-rated doors are required in specific applications: attached residential garages, commercial buildings with assembly areas, warehouses storing flammables, multi-tenant facilities, and fire-separation walls. Building codes specify required ratings.
What makes a door fire-rated?
Fire-rated doors use fire-resistant materials (special steel, intumescent seals), self-closing mechanisms, UL-listed components, and pass rigorous fire exposure testing. Doors must maintain fire barrier for rated time period (1-4 hours).
Can existing doors be upgraded to fire-rated?
No, fire-rated doors must be manufactured and UL-listed as complete assemblies. Standard doors cannot be upgraded. However, we can replace non-compliant doors with properly rated doors to meet code requirements.
Do fire-rated doors require special maintenance?
Yes, annual inspections are recommended to maintain fire rating compliance. Inspections verify self-closing mechanisms, intumescent seals, proper clearances, and UL label integrity. We provide inspection and maintenance services for code compliance.
