At Fire Seals Direct, we are often asked if non fire-rated doors can be adapted to become fire doors, and the short answer is no. When it comes to fire protection, it is essential to follow regulations to ensure buildings and lives are kept safe, therefore cutting corners is never advised.

Fire rated steel doors expand into their frame under heat, sealing off a room where a fire has broken out to prevent the spread of smoke and flames. Fire-Rated steel doors play a vital role in keeping people safe and minimizing property damage during a fire. Labeled fire doors control the spread of fire and smoke for up to 2 hours.

A metal fire door is a specialized type of door designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke in a building. These doors play a crucial role in fire protection and are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.

Here are some key features and aspects associated with Metal Fire Doors:

Material: Metal fire doors are typically made from steel or other fire-resistant metals. These materials have high melting points and can withstand exposure to high temperatures for a specified duration.

Fire Rating: Fire doors are assigned a fire rating, which indicates the amount of time the door can withstand exposure to fire. Common fire ratings include 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes and 120 minutes. The selection of the fire rating depends on the building code requirements and the specific application.

Integrity and Insulation: Fire doors are designed to maintain the integrity of the opening and prevent the spread of flames and hot gases. They also provide some level of insulation to protect the unexposed side of the door from the heat generated during a fire.

Seals and Gaskets: Metal fire doors often include intumescent seals or gaskets that expand when exposed to heat. This expansion helps create a tight seal around the door, preventing the passage of smoke and hot gases.

Closers and Latching Mechanisms: Fire doors are equipped with self-closing devices, such as door closers, to ensure that the door remains closed in the event of a fire. Latching mechanisms help keep the door securely closed.

Testing and Certification: Metal fire doors must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet specific fire safety standards. Certification from recognized testing laboratories is often required to demonstrate compliance with building codes and regulations.

Installation: Proper installation is crucial for the effectiveness of a metal fire door. It should be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and in compliance with local building codes.

Usage: Metal fire doors are commonly used in areas where fire resistance is critical, such as stairwells, corridors, mechanical rooms, and exit routes.

It’s essential to consult local building codes and regulations to ensure that the chosen metal fire door meets the required standards for a specific application. Regular maintenance and inspection are also necessary to ensure the continued functionality of fire doors over time.
