Hollow Metal Doors

Hollow metal doors are commonly found on the exterior of commercial buildings. Most of the doors we stock are made of rust-resistant galvannealed steel. Galvannealed doors are a durable, long lasting solution that can withstand the elements. Hollow metal doors are typically found throughout buildings in stairwells, elevator and janitor’s closets and areas exposed to moisture. Six panel colonial steel doors enhance the beauty and security of apartment and hotel doors. Custom prefinished hollow metal doors are available with hardware preinstalled.

Fire Rated Doors

Fire-rated doors limit damage by slowing fire spread, meet building code requirements, and provide safe egress for occupants.

We’re licensed to apply fire rating labels to doors and frames. Fire-rated assemblies generally match 3/4 of the wall’s rating (e.g., a 2-hour wall needs a 1 1/2-hour door). Be sure to verify your project’s required rating

Hollow metal fire rated doors generally come in these four levels: 20 minute, 3/4 hour (C label), 1 1/2 hour (B label), 3 hour (A label)

Wood fire rated doors generally come in these four levels: 20 minute, 3/4 hour (C label), 1 hour (B label), 1 1/2 hour (B label)

The fire rating period indicates how long the door withstands fire. Our doors meet UL and ASTM standards and should be installed per NFPA 80 guidelines. Fire door assemblies include a door, frame, hinges, latch, and closer, rated to the lowest component’s rating. Glass is permitted, with C-Label doors allowing up to 1,296 sq. inches of glass and B-Label doors up to 100 sq. inches; exceptions apply for fire-rated glass.
