What Are Fire Rated Doors?

Fire rated doors are tested and certified to withstand fire exposure for a specific duration—commonly 20, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. These doors are part of a complete assembly that includes the door slab, frame, hinges, closers, latches, and seals.

Each component must meet the same rating standard. Replacing any part with a non-rated component compromises the entire system and puts the building out of compliance.

Fire rated doors are typically constructed from steel, mineral core wood, or composite materials, and include certification labels that must remain intact and visible.
