90-Minute Fire Rated Doors: Opening, Frame and Hardware Coordination

A 90-minute fire rated door should be reviewed as a listed opening system. Door size, leaf construction, frame, hardware and any glazed opening need to remain within the approved configuration.

Match the rating to the documented opening

A 90-minute requirement should be traced to the project life-safety documents and wall condition. It is not a universal upgrade that can be applied without checking the surrounding assembly.

Control the details that change the assembly

Glazing, louvers, door pairs, exit devices and electrified hardware can affect the permitted construction. Provide these details before the door and frame preparations are finalized.

  • Opening dimensions and pair configuration
  • Frame profile and anchor condition
  • Hardware function and latching
  • Glazing or louver details
  • Required labels and documentation

Review installation before handover

Field drilling, unapproved modifications and clearance problems can undermine a correctly manufactured opening. Use the approved shop drawings and assembly instructions during installation and inspection.

Project information to send

  • Rated opening schedule and wall information
  • Door sizes, pairs and handing
  • Glazing/louver and hardware requirements
  • Installation, packing and destination requirements

Selections must be verified against the adopted code, project specification and listed assembly for the exact opening. For an opening-level review, send the schedule through Get a Quote.
