Frequently Asked Questions
How much do fire-rated doors cost?

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.
