Fire Rated Doors

Fire Rated Door Installation & Service for Businesses Large and Small

Fire doors are durable, secure doors that seal against smoke and are rated to withstand fire for a limited amount of time. Some fire doors will close automatically in the case of fire. These doors prevent the spread of fire and smoke, which can save lives in the event of a fire. Fire-rated doors can seal off vulnerable areas, like commercial kitchens, or slow the spread of fire in buildings that are hard to evacuate, such as hospitals and nursing homes.

It’s just as important to have your fire doors in good working order as it is to have them installed. The CLAD team can install and repair fire-rated doors that will meet your building code regulations and offer protection from smoke and fire. We have our Raceway Installer’s certification from Intertek, so we can modify fire doors and recertify them in the field. Our superior experience and customer service will make the process of selecting and installing your fire doors simple. So, whether you need a fire-rated door installed in Danville, Fremont, Hayward, or any other city in our service area, like Jackson or Plymouth, give our team at Commercial Locks And Doors a call today.

Fire Door Inspections & Code Compliance

Fire-rated doors play a critical role in protecting occupants and limiting the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building—but only when they remain code compliant and in proper working condition. Damaged hardware, excessive door gaps, missing labels, or doors that fail to latch can all compromise the integrity of a fire-rated assembly and create safety concerns during an emergency.

At Commercial Locks And Doors, we help building owners, property managers, and facility maintenance teams keep their fire-rated openings in compliance with applicable codes and manufacturer requirements. Our technicians inspect the entire door assembly, including the door, frame, hinges, closer, latch, panic hardware, vision panels, gasketing, and signage, to identify issues that may affect performance or compliance.

If problems are found, we’ll explain whether the assembly can be repaired or if replacement is the safest and most cost-effective solution. Whenever possible, we recommend repairs that preserve the existing labeled assembly while restoring proper operation. If a door has been improperly modified or damaged beyond repair, we can install a new fire-rated door and frame that meets your building’s requirements.

Whether you’re preparing for a safety inspection, responding to a failed inspection, or simply want to ensure your facility remains protected, our team has the experience to help. We work with schools, healthcare facilities, office buildings, apartment complexes, warehouses, retail centers, and other commercial properties throughout Northern California to maintain safe, code-compliant fire door systems.

Common Fire Door Inspection Failures

Fire-rated doors are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, but only when every component of the door assembly functions properly. During inspections, technicians frequently identify issues that can compromise a door’s fire rating or prevent it from performing as intended during an emergency.

Fire-rated doors and frames must have legible manufacturer labels indicating their fire rating. Missing, painted-over, or damaged labels may make it impossible to verify compliance.

Gaps around the top, sides, or bottom of the door that exceed code requirements can allow smoke and flames to spread more quickly during a fire.

Fire doors must close completely and positively latch every time. Doors that stick, drag, or fail to latch cannot provide the intended level of fire protection.

Door closers ensure fire doors automatically close after being opened. Worn, leaking, improperly adjusted, or missing closers are among the most common inspection deficiencies.

Broken or improperly secured hinges can cause doors to sag, bind, or fail to close correctly, reducing the effectiveness of the fire-rated assembly.

Faulty locksets, panic devices, strikes, or latch bolts can prevent the door from securing properly when closed.

Drilling new holes, cutting openings, or modifying a fire-rated door without manufacturer approval may void the door’s fire rating and require repair or replacement.

Cracked glazing, damaged frames, or improperly installed fire-rated glass can compromise the integrity of the door assembly.

Many fire-rated doors rely on specialized seals to help prevent the passage of smoke and expand during a fire. Missing or damaged seals should be replaced promptly.

Fire doors should never be wedged or propped open unless they are equipped with approved automatic hold-open devices connected to the building’s fire alarm system. A propped-open fire door cannot perform its life-safety function during an emergency.
