Are Commercial Hollow Metal Door Frames Fire Rated?

This page explains when door frames must be fire rated and how frame ratings relate to door and wall assemblies.

In the article we go over hollow metal door frames and if they are all fire rated. A hollow metal door frame is the commercial door frame of choice for both steel and wood doors. However, a big misconception is that all hollow metal doors and frames are fire rated. The simple answer is “No!” Many door applications don’t require a fire label, as a result hollow metal doors or frames are not always fire rated. Specifying a fire label with the door manufacturer must be done if a fire label is needed. That is why using a reputable hollow metal door manufacturer like Patriot Hollow Metal Doors is important. Patriot hollow metal door frames are manufactured in the USA and are available with a fire label.
