Fire-Rated Doors in Detroit, Michigan

Code-Compliant Fire Door Solutions for Commercial & Industrial Buildings

Fire-rated doors are a critical part of life-safety systems in Detroit’s commercial and institutional buildings. When properly specified and installed, fire-rated door assemblies help contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and give occupants valuable time during an emergency. When installed incorrectly or poorly maintained, those same doors can put a building out of compliance and increase risk.

FBH Architectural Security provides fire-rated door supply, installation, repair, and replacement services in Detroit, backed by more than 70 years of experience working in complex commercial environments. We help facilities meet fire code requirements while ensuring doors function reliably under daily use.

Fire-Rated Door Systems Designed for Detroit Facilities

Detroit buildings often face demanding conditions — heavy traffic, industrial use, public access, and strict inspections. Fire-rated doors must perform under all of these conditions without compromising safety or usability.

FBH works with a full range of UL-listed fire-rated door assemblies, including:

• Hollow metal fire-rated doors for industrial and high-traffic areas
• Fire-rated wood doors for offices and institutional spaces
• Fire-rated frames designed for structural integrity and longevity
• Temperature-rise doors where required by code

Every assembly is selected to match the building’s occupancy type, fire separation requirements, and daily operational demands.

Professional Fire-Rated Door Installation in Detroit

Installing a fire-rated door involves far more than hanging a slab. Small errors in hardware selection, clearances, or anchoring can invalidate a fire rating.

FBH provides complete fire-rated door installation services, including:

• Field measurement and opening evaluation
• Proper installation of rated doors and frames
• Installation of fire-rated hinges, closers, and latching hardware
• Verification of required clearances and swing operation

All installations are performed in accordance with NFPA 80, Michigan building codes, and applicable ADA standards.

Fire-Rated Door Repairs & Code Corrections

Fire-rated doors in Detroit buildings are frequently cited during inspections due to damage, wear, or improper modifications over time. FBH provides corrective services to bring openings back into compliance.

Common fire door issues we address include:

• Doors that fail to latch properly
• Excessive gaps or improper clearances
• Missing or damaged seals and gasketing
• Non-rated or mismatched hardware
• Field modifications that void the fire label

Our technicians diagnose issues, make necessary repairs, and restore the door’s fire-rated integrity without unnecessary replacement when possible.

Fire-Rated Hardware & Components

A fire-rated door is only as effective as the hardware installed on it. FBH supplies and installs listed, compatible fire-rated hardware, ensuring all components work together as a system.

This includes:

• Fire-rated hinges and pivot hardware
• Door closers with appropriate control and force settings
• Latching hardware and exit devices where required
• Seals, gasketing, and intumescent components

We verify that all hardware supports the door’s rating and intended function.

FBH works with a wide range of facilities across Detroit, including:

• Industrial and manufacturing buildings
• Healthcare and medical facilities
• Schools and higher-education campuses
• Municipal and government buildings
• Office buildings and mixed-use properties

Each facility presents different code requirements and usage patterns, and our solutions are tailored accordingly.
