When it comes to commercial building safety, fire-rated doors are not just a code requirement—they’re a critical component in protecting lives and minimizing property loss.

At Seven Oaks, we’ve spent over three decades providing fire-rated door solutions for commercial buildings across North Carolina, South Carolina, and South Central Virginia.

Whether you manage a school, hospital, warehouse, or office building, ensuring your facility is equipped with properly rated and installed fire doors is a must.

What Are Fire-Rated Doors?

Fire-rated doors are specially engineered to withstand high heat for a specified period of time—typically 20, 45, 60, 90, or 180 minutes—depending on the rating. These doors are constructed using fire-resistant materials like hollow metal, steel, or fire-rated glass, and are designed to compartmentalize a fire, slowing the spread of flames and smoke throughout the building.

But more than just the door matters. Frames, hardware, seals, and installation must all meet NFPA 80 and local building code standards to ensure proper function and compliance.

Who Needs Fire-Rated Doors?

Many facilities are required by law to install fire-rated door assemblies. Common industries we serve include:

• Public and Private Schools – for classroom, hallway, and emergency egress doors

• Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities – to protect patients and critical care areas

• Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities – to separate high-risk areas

• Office Complexes and Commercial Buildings – to comply with local fire codes

• Retail Centers and Restaurants – to protect high-traffic zones

If you’re unsure whether your building meets code, we offer fire door inspections and compliance assessments to identify and address potential risks.
