Fire doors are an important part of any passive fire safety plan. These doors are UL- and FM-approved as fire-resistant, helping to minimize the spread of a fire to reduce structural damage and provide a layer of safety for personnel and patrons. In the event of a fire, many fire doors are constructed to close off immediately in order to stop the flames before they reach further into your commercial structure.

Common questions we receive about fire doors include:
A fire-rated door is designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke from one room to another for a specified period of time. Fire doors can be rated for anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours or longer, after which they may fail and allow fire to spread. The purpose of a fire-rated door is to slow the spread of fire to allow for safe evacuation.
Commercial fire-rated doors are required in areas that separate a commercial building into different fire protection zones to slow the spread of fire. In a 4-hour fire-rated wall, a 3-hour fire-rated door will be required, and in a 1-hour fire-rated wall, a 1-hour fire-rated door will be required. 90-minute fire-rated doors are required in openings to stairwells and other exits, while 45-minute or 20-minute fire-rated doors may be used in less critical areas like room partitions or residential entryways.
Automatic fire doors or a fire-rated garage entry door may be required in certain areas like receiving docks, garages, or retail storefronts where roll-up doors are installed or there is a separate door for employee access.
Not all steel doors are fire-rated. To be fire-rated, the door and the surrounding door frame and jamb must be resistant to fire. Fire-rated doors will be clearly labeled and they will indicate a time rating.
Yes, there are many types of fire-rated doors, including wood doors. Dense natural and engineered woods like MDF can be quite resistant to fire, with some wood doors receiving up to 90-minute fire ratings.
A fire-rated door will have an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Warnock Hersey (WH) tag affixed to it, usually in an area that is easy to see. Both use a circular logo with the initials UL or WH, and the tag will indicate the door’s fire rating in minutes or hours.
