BASIC FIRE DOOR REQUIREMENTS

TECHNICAL DATA
SHEET NO. 401

Fire door openings are classified by their locations in the building. The location determines the length of exposure
protection required, based on the potential fire hazard of that particular area. The six opening classifications are shown
below along with the six door ratings and the maximum amount of glass in square inches allowed for each door.

 TYPES OF FIRE DOOR OPENINGS
TECHNICAL DATA
SHEET NO. 402

Republic provides a comprehensive line of 1-3/8” and 1-3/4” thick labeled doors and frames to meet
every requirement for fire protection. The construction conforms to fire door procedure whether the
doors are furnished with labels or not. Since label requirements vary throughout the country, local
authorities having jurisdiction regarding the use of label opening should be consulted during the design
and planning stages.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL)

Doors and frames approved by the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. have been investigated, fire tested in
accordance with UL10B, UL10C, UBC7-2 and ASTM E-152 and produced under the Underwriters
Laboratory factory inspection and labeling service program. The attachment of the Underwriters
Laboratories Listing or Classification mark indicates that the material has been constructed to comply
with the manufacturing specifications as described in the Underwriters Laboratories Follow-Up Service
Procedures Program.

Warnock Hersey (WH)

Doors and frames bearing the Warnock Hersey Label have been successfully fire tested in accordance
with UL10B, UL10C, UBC7-2 and ASTM E-152. The Warnock Hersey Listing or Classification mark
indicates that the material has been constructed to comply with the manufacturing specifications as
described in Warnock Hersey’s Follow-Up Service Procedures Program.
