What is a Fire-Rated Door?

Fire-Rated Doors

See how Door Resources provides a comprehensive line of wood and metal fire-rated doors, frames, and hardware to meet all requirements for fire protection.

Fire-rated means that a door and frame have been designed to withstand high temperatures and smoke for various lengths of time. This will provide a safer exit during an emergency and prevent a fire from spreading. Building and fire codes also require a building to have fire-rated doors and frames.

The emphasis on life safety and property protection has never been greater than it is today. Doors play a very important role in the fire resistance of a building; they allow people to evacuate safely from a building, along with limiting the spread of fire and smoke to other areas.
