    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions from buyers, contractors, and distributors

    What applications require a 3-hour fire door? +
     Three-hour doors are specified for: openings in 3-hour fire walls (typically separating different buildings or fire areas), high-hazard occupancy separations (H-1 through H-5 occupancies per IBC), chemical and flammable liquid storage rooms, industrial furnace and boiler rooms, and any area classified as "severe fire exposure" by the building official.
    Why does a 3-hour door use rock wool instead of honeycomb or perlite? +
    Rock wool (mineral wool) has a much higher melting point and lower thermal conductivity than honeycomb paper or perlite board. At 3 hours of fire exposure, the core must maintain structural integrity and limit heat transfer far beyond what honeycomb or perlite can achieve. Rock wool is non-combustible and remains effective at temperatures above 1,800°F (1,000°C).
    Can a 3-hour fire door have a window? +
    Vision lites in 3-hour doors are extremely limited. Most 3-hour door certifications do not allow any glass opening, as the frame and glass assembly cannot maintain 180-minute integrity. If vision is required, it must be specifically listed in the door's UL certification and use fire-rated glass with a matching 3-hour frame. Consult our engineering team before specifying a lite in a 3-hour door.
    What hardware is required on a 3-hour fire door? +
    Per NFPA 80 and UL listing requirements, 3-hour fire doors must be equipped with fire exit hardware (panic bars) that is separately listed for 3-hour use. Hinges, closers, and locks must all carry UL listings matching the door rating. The door must be self-closing and self-latching. We factory-install all rated hardware to maintain the full 3-hour certification.
