Let's Work Together
Why Choose Fire-Rated Doors by Atodor
Fire-rated doors are specially designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke for a specified period, usually ranging from 20 minutes to 3 hours. These doors are crucial in commercial buildings for several reasons described below.
Life Safety of Occupants
Fire-rated doors provide the occupants with additional time to evacuate the building safely in the event of a fire. By compartmentalizing the fire, they prevent it from spreading quickly, thereby reducing the risk to human life. This critical delay can mean the difference between a safe evacuation and a tragic outcome, as it allows for organized and efficient egress. Ask Atodor about fire-rated door options for your business.
Property Protection
By containing the fire within a specific area, fire-rated doors help minimize damage to property and assets. This containment can be vital in commercial settings where valuable equipment, documents, and merchandise are at risk. The reduction in fire spread also means that the overall damage to the building is lessened, potentially saving millions in repairs and lost revenue.
Code Compliance in the Bay Area
Building codes in San Francisco, as in many other cities, require the installation of fire-rated doors in certain areas of commercial buildings. Compliance with these codes is not just a legal requirement but also a best practice for ensuring overall building safety. Meeting these standards helps protect building owners from liability issues and ensures the safety of all occupants.
Operational Continuity
Fire-rated doors help in maintaining operational continuity during and after a fire incident. By containing the fire to a limited area, they allow the rest of the building to remain unaffected, minimizing downtime. This is particularly important in commercial buildings where business operations need to resume quickly to avoid significant financial losses. Contact Atodor for your fire-rated doors.

Types of Fire-Rated Doors
Here are some common types of fire-rated doors Atodor works with:
Fire-Rated Steel Doors: These are typically used in commercial settings due to their durability and high fire resistance. They can withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire and smoke for extended periods.
Fire-Rated Metal Doors: Similar to steel doors, these can be made from various metals and are used in settings where high fire resistance is required. They are robust and provide significant protection against fire and smoke.
Fire-Rated Glass Doors: These doors combine visibility and safety, making them ideal for areas where both are necessary, such as in corridors and offices. The glass used is specially treated to withstand high temperatures.
Fire-Rated Double Doors: Used in larger openings, these doors offer the same fire protection as single doors but cover a broader area. They are often found in commercial buildings, hospitals, and educational institutions.
Fire-Rated Sliding Doors: Used in places where space is limited, these doors slide to open and provide effective fire separation. They are often used in hospitals and commercial buildings.
Each type of fire-rated door is designed to meet specific building codes and standards, ensuring they provide the necessary protection in the event of a fire.
