Fire-Rated Doors in Saginaw, Michigan

Life-Safety Door Systems Installed, Repaired, and Maintained for Commercial Buildings

Fire-rated doors are a critical part of a building’s life-safety system. In the event of a fire, these doors are designed to slow the spread of flames and smoke, protect exit paths, and give occupants valuable time to evacuate. In Saginaw’s commercial, industrial, healthcare, and public buildings, fire-rated doors are not optional—they are required to function exactly as intended.

FBH Architectural Security provides fire-rated door services in Saginaw, including installation, repair, replacement, and compliance support. With more than 70 years of experience serving Michigan, our team understands both the technical requirements and real-world demands placed on fire-rated openings.

What Makes a Door Fire-Rated?

A fire-rated door is not just the door slab. It is a complete assembly that includes the door, frame, hardware, and clearances—all working together to meet a specific fire-resistance rating.

FBH works with properly listed fire-rated assemblies that may include:

• Steel or fire-rated wood doors
• Fire-rated frames
• Listed hinges, latching hardware, and closers
• Smoke or intumescent seals
• Correct labeling and identification

If any component is missing or improperly installed, the opening can fail inspection.

Fire-Rated Door Installation in Saginaw

FBH installs fire-rated doors in locations where code requires fire separation or protected egress. Common applications include corridors, stairwells, mechanical rooms, and occupancy separations.

Our installation process focuses on:

• Accurate field measurements
• Correct frame anchoring and alignment
• Hardware selection matched to the fire rating
• Proper clearances and door operation
• Verification of self-closing and latching

Each installation is completed with compliance and long-term performance in mind.

Fire-Rated Door Repair & Compliance Corrections

Fire-rated doors frequently fall out of compliance due to wear, damage, or improper modifications. FBH provides repair services to correct common issues such as:

• Doors that no longer self-close or latch
• Missing, damaged, or incorrect hardware
• Improper gaps or clearances
• Removed or painted-over fire labels
• Failed or missing seals

Our goal is to restore compliance without unnecessary replacement whenever possible.

Fire-Rated Door Replacement

When a fire-rated door or frame is damaged beyond repair, FBH supplies and installs replacement assemblies that meet current code requirements.

Replacement services include:

• Removal of non-compliant doors or frames
• Supply of listed fire-rated assemblies
• Installation of rated hardware and closers
• Final testing to confirm proper operation
