Code-Compliant Fire-Rated Doors in NYC
Our technicians install, repair, and replace fire-rated doors for commercial buildings, apartment properties, offices, and other code-sensitive entryways across New York City. A fire-rated opening is part of a building’s life-safety system — the slab, frame, hinges, closer, latch, lock hardware, and clearances all have to work together so the door closes and latches the way it should. We help property owners choose the right door and hardware, correct damaged components, and keep critical entrances reliable and compliant. Call (212) 204-1655.
Fire-Rated Door Services
Fire-Rated Door Installation
UL-listed fire-rated doors and hardware for commercial and residential buildings need to match the wall assembly and occupancy, sized to the wall assembly and occupancy so the rating is correct for the opening. From the door slab and frame to the closer, latch, and lock, every component is matched to perform together. For the lock and access hardware side of the job, our commercial locksmith team works the same opening.
Repair Without Voiding the Rating
Fire-rated doors can often be repaired rather than fully replaced — as long as the door label and fire integrity are preserved. Minor work like hinge replacement, closer adjustment, or frame realignment is acceptable, while any modification that penetrates the door face or compromises the rating requires full replacement. We inspect the opening and advise on a case-by-case basis as part of our door repair and installation service.
Inspection & Compliance
NFPA 80 calls for annual inspection of fire-rated doors by a qualified inspector, and NYC buildings must keep inspection records and correct deficiencies promptly. We offer fire-door inspection and maintenance and can provide a written report suitable for your building’s compliance records, plus documentation for NYC DOB inspections when needed.
Where Fire-Rated Doors Are Required
Under the NYC Building Code, fire-rated doors are required in stairwells, mechanical rooms, and between occupancies with different fire ratings, with the required rating — 20, 45, 60, or 90 minutes — set by the wall assembly and occupancy type. We also service standard commercial doors and apartment doors in the same buildings, so one team can handle the whole property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlock our most frequently asked questions about fire-rated doors in NYC.
What are the NYC code requirements for fire-rated doors?
The NYC Building Code requires fire-rated doors in stairwells, mechanical rooms, and between occupancies with different fire ratings. The required rating — 20-minute, 45-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute — depends on the wall assembly and occupancy type. We install UL-listed fire-rated doors and hardware that meet NYC DOB requirements and can provide documentation for inspections.
Can fire-rated doors be repaired, or do they always need full replacement?
They can often be repaired rather than fully replaced — but only if the door label and fire integrity are maintained. Minor repairs such as hinge replacement, closer adjustment, or frame realignment are acceptable. Any modification that penetrates the door face or compromises the fire rating requires full replacement. We inspect and advise case by case.
How often should fire-rated doors be inspected in NYC?
NFPA 80 requires annual inspection of all fire-rated doors by a qualified inspector, and NYC buildings must keep inspection records and correct deficiencies promptly. We offer fire-door inspection and maintenance and provide a written report suitable for your building’s compliance records. Call (212) 204-1655 to schedule.
