Frequently Asked Questions

What fire certifications do these doors carry?

These doors are certified per UL 10C for positive pressure fire tests (1, 2, or 3 hours) and BS 476 Part 22 for integrity and insulation. Copies of test reports and labels are provided with each shipment. Local code acceptance should be verified for specific jurisdictions.

Can I get these doors with a custom color finish?

Yes. Standard finish is primed gray for field painting. For factory-applied polyester powder coat, any RAL color is available with a 7-10 day lead time. Gloss levels range from 30% to 70% depending on color selected.

Are these doors suitable for exterior use in coastal environments?

The 16-gauge galvanized steel base provides corrosion resistance, but for coastal or high-humidity locations, we recommend a hot-dip galvanized finish (ASTM A653) or stainless steel face sheets (304 grade). Standard primed doors should not be used in direct salt spray exposure.

What is the maximum opening frequency these doors can handle?

With continuous hinge reinforcement (full-height 14-gauge steel hinges), these doors are rated for over 1,000,000 cycles at 50 lbs weight. For higher traffic (e.g., school corridors), option for heavy-duty hinges with ball bearings increases cycle life to 2,000,000+ cycles.

How are these doors packed for international shipping?

Each door is individually wrapped in polyethylene sheeting, then placed in a corrugated cardboard carton with foam corner protectors. Doors are stacked vertically on pallets and banded. Frames are packed in separate bundles with edge protectors. All packaging is suitable for ocean freight and meets ISPM 15 standards.
