Commercial Fire Door Requirements

Laws and regulations can vary significantly across different jurisdictions, including states, cities, townships, and municipalities. It is crucial to consult with the relevant regulatory authorities to ensure that the door unit you plan to order and install complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Key Considerations

When in the process of selecting a fire door, the first step should be determining whether it will be used for a commercial or residential application. Different types of doors are required for these two scenarios, so it’s essential to choose the right one for the specific needs. Additionally, it is imperative to thoroughly research and confirm the building codes that apply in the area. This step will help establish the exact specifications required for the door unit. Lastly, check whether a fire label is mandated, which can typically be found in your local building codes.

Basic Requirements for Fire Doors

Below is a list of fundamental requirements for fire doors. Keep in mind that this list may not cover all requirements, so it is essential to consult your local building codes for comprehensive guidance.

The unit must be self-closing.
The unit must be self-latching.
The unit must have a Label attached.
The Door Frame must have an attached or embossed Label.
The unit must have Steel Bearing Hinges.
The unit must have “Listed” Hardware.
If a Fire Door is held open, it must have a “UL-Listed”, heat fusible link or smoke detection device (or be tied into the fire alarm system).
Pairs of Fire Doors with astragals that require overlapping astragals should use a coordinator or open back strike for proper closing.
Pairs of Fire Doors required to meet Egress shall not be equipped with an astragal that inhibits the free use of either leaf.
For fire doors with Safe-Wie glass lite kits

The frame and glazing bead must be metal.
The glass must be Safe-Wire, not less than 1/4″ thick
The Maximum glass sizes allowed:

For a 20 minute rated door is a 1296 sq. in. per lite.
For a 45 minute rated door with a C or E label is a 1296 sq. in. per lite.
For a 60 minute rated door with a B label is a 100 sq. in. per lite.
For a 90 minute rated door with a B label is a 100 sq. in. per lite.
No glass is allowed in a 90 minute rated door with a D label.
No glass is allowed in a 3 hour rated door with an A label.

A Fire Door with a Louver requires a Fusible Link Louver.
No Louvers are allowed in a 20 Minute Rated Door.
No Louvers are allowed in fire-rated doors with lite kits.
No Louvers are allowed in doors with Panic Exit Hardware or Stairwells.
The maximum Fire-Rated louver size is 24″ x 24″.

Opening Types and Ratings

In the realm of commercial doors, frames, and hardware, their fire resistance is measured by the duration they can withstand fire under controlled testing conditions. Commercial codes typically mandate that door units must have a fire rating that is at least 75% of the rating assigned to the surrounding wall.

Description and Use	Wall Rating	Door and Frame Rating
Openings that separate buildings or divide a single building into designated fire areas	4 hours	180 minutes
Openings used in enclosures of vertical communication or egress through buildings (example: stairwells)	2 hours	90 minutes
Door and frame assemblies that divide occupancies in a building	1 hour	60 minutes
Openings in corridors or room partitions	1 hour	45 minutes
Opening where there is potential for severe fire exposure from the exterior of the building	2 hours	90 minutes
Opening that has the potential for moderate to light fire exposure from the exterior of the building	1 hour	45 minutes
Opening in corridors where smoke and draft control is required	1 hour	20 minutes

Exit Devices

Exit devices are used with doors that are in an exit path and may be commonly be referred to as Panic Hardware. Typically used in commercial applications like schools, hospitals, and government buildings, exit devices are necessary when a large number of people may need to exit the building fast. Most door units utilizing exit devices are outswing units.

Exit devices can be applied to single doors or double doors. If using a double door, astragals should not be used in true panic situations as it prohibits a timely exit due to the need to unlock the flushbolts. While it is not necessary, it is a good idea to have the doors as well as the frames reinforced. Exit Devices are available with a fire-rating and are required for used in a fire-rated unit.

Panic hardware can be a push bar or a crossbar. When a pushbar is pushed into the hardware base, the door unlatches from the frame. When the crossbar, sometimes referred to as a crashbar, is pushed down, it delatches from the frame.There are three models of exit devices available in both RIM and SVR.

Commercial Miscellaneous Accessories

In the area of commercial doors, a variety of accessories can be employed to enhance functionality and aesthetics. These additional components serve multiple purposes, from improving security and ease of use to reducing noise and ensuring proper installation.

Filler Plates

Commercial doors and jambs are often pre-prepped for hinges and strikes, but sometimes these prepped areas are not necessary. In such cases, primed steel filler plates can be attached to fill the gaps.

Allows existing doors and frames to be used for a non-latching push/pull application

336P Deadbolt Filler Plate
Allows existing doors and frames to be used for a non-latching push/pull application

Plates

Pull, push, and kickplates are accessories that attach to the face of the door, not only enhancing the door’s appearance but also providing functionality. These plates typically come with a US32D finish.

Pull Plate 4″ x 16″

Push Plate 4″ x 16″

Kickplate 8″ x 34″

Stops and Silencers

Stops play a crucial role in preventing doors from swinging too far when opened, and they can be attached to either the door or the floor. The choice between a wall stop and a floor stop depends on factors such as the floor material and personal preference. For concrete floors, a wall stop might be preferred for easier installation. Additionally, silencers are used to minimize the noise generated when a door closes.

Wall Stop
Used with door locks that lack a button for locking.

Wall Stop with Button

Door Closers

A door closer is a mechanical device that closes a door in a controlled manner. It helps prevent the door from standing open, slamming closed, or pulling open in strong winds. The most common examples can usually be found in schools, convenience stores, and a multitude of other smaller businesses and public buildings.

Door closers are recommended with outswing reinforced units. Reinforced doors weigh more than a typical residential door. Self-closing hinges will slam the door into place, jeopardizing the life of the panic hardware over time.

There are three different door closer models. Door Closers are to be field-applied by the door installer.

Overhead Door Closer Types

There are three different types of door closers: Regular Arm, Parallel Arm and Top Jamb Mount. Each of these function in a similar way, but they are installed on different sides of the door. The amount of ceiling clearance needed varies depending on the door closer.

Regular Arm

The regular arm closer is a pull-side application, meaning it is located on the exterior of the door. There are two arms – one attached to the frame and another to a spring-loaded box on the pull-side of the door. The arms, when closed, project out perpendicularly from the door. This is the most power-efficient option available.

Parallel Arm

The parallel arm closer is a push-side application. There are two arms that sit on top of the door when it is closed and attached to the door via a spring-loaded box. Parallel arm door closers are one of the most common applications, particularly in commercial properties and schools, because they reduce the risk of vandalism to the arm and are more attractive than other overhead options.

Top Jamb Mount

The top jamb closer has arms that project out from the door perpendicularly. The spring-loaded box is mounted on the face of the doorframe. These are often used for aluminum or glass storefront doors, because these doors generally have narrow top rails.

108 Olympian RIM Crossbar

RIM Devices are used on single swing applications, where the hardware will engage with the frame components. The RIM Crossbar is a push bar handle that when pushed down, opens the door, acting as a panic bar, and is seen many times in commercial buildings. This hardware is very durable and can handle constant use.
