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.

Smoke and fire seals prevent smoke and heat from seeping through the edges of the doorway and spreading to other areas. Containing a fire to one room reduces the risk to life and damage to property, allowing plenty of time for people to evacuate safely and fire the fire service to arrive to handle the threat. Lots of products go into maintaining this compartmentalization, but doors are often the weak link. Check out our exit devices.
