Fire Rated Steel Doors

No. Fire-rating requirements depend on the building design, opening location, occupancy, wall assembly, egress plan, and applicable project codes. Some commercial openings require a labelled fire-rated assembly, while others do not. Architects, specifiers, and code officials should determine the required rating and confirm that the selected door, frame, hardware, and glazing components are compatible.

There is no single door that is most fire-resistant for every project. Performance depends on the tested assembly, required rating, core construction, frame, hardware, glazing, and installation. Custom Metal Products offers UL fire-rated hollow metal doors with polystyrene, polyurethane, temperature-rise, and steel-stiffened core options. The appropriate configuration should follow the project specification and code requirements.

Available core options include polystyrene, polyurethane, temperature-rise, and steel-stiffened constructions. The appropriate core depends on the required performance, project specification, door configuration, and application. Temperature-rise core doors are available for projects with those requirements. Custom Metal Products can help customers compare applicable configurations for commercial, healthcare, and life-safety openings.

The product range includes 18 gauge through 12 gauge options. The appropriate gauge depends on the door application, project specification, opening requirements, and desired construction. Custom Metal Products also offers stainless steel and A60 galvannealed material options, allowing commercial and institutional projects to select a configuration aligned with the opening environment.

Yes. Custom Metal Products provides custom hollow metal door and frame configurations, including flush and embossed panel designs, oversized doors, arched, radius, and segmented frame profiles. Sidelite, transom, double-egress, glazed, paneled, and lead-lined frame applications are also available. Final suitability depends on the project specification and applicable UL-labeled assembly requirements.

Yes. The product information identifies hospital and healthcare facilities as applications for these hollow metal doors and frames. Healthcare projects can also require radiation-shielding configurations, including lead-lined frame applications. Selection should account for the project’s fire-rating, egress, radiation-shielding, glazing, hardware, and installation requirements so the complete opening meets the specified performance.
