In the realm of fire safety, there's no room for compromise. When protecting lives and property, having the right safeguards is paramount. It's important to choose the correctly rated door for your wall. A 2 hour fire-rated wall is designed to withstand the ravages of fire for a significant amount of time, giving occupants precious moments to escape and firefighters the time they need to contain the blaze. Experts recommend a 90 minute fire-rated door for a 2 hour fire-rated wall.

A 90 minute fire-rated door is precisely what its name suggests: a door that can withstand the intense heat and flames of a fire for up to 90 minutes, such as our fire-rated metal double doors. This rating is a testament to the door's ability to act as a barrier, preventing the fire from spreading to adjacent areas. It's crucial to note that these doors are rigorously tested and certified by relevant authorities to ensure they meet stringent fire safety standards.
Generally, a 2-hour fire rated wall will require a 90 minute fire rated door, according to the National Fire Protection Association. We offer various fire-ratings, from 20 minutes to 3 hours.
Fire doors are not your ordinary doors; they are engineered with fire-resistant materials that can withstand extreme temperatures. They typically consist of multiple layers of fire-resistant core material enclosed within heavy-duty steel or other fire-resistant materials. This construction provides exceptional heat insulation and integrity, preventing smoke and fire from spreading.
Moreover, fire rated doors often come equipped with fire-rated hardware, including hinges, locks, and latches, designed to withstand the high temperatures of a fire. This ensures the entire door assembly maintains its integrity during a fire event.
The applications of fire-rated doors are diverse and critical for fire safety. Here are some common applications of these doors.
Fire-rated doors are not just doors but a lifeline in fire emergencies.
