Fire-rated exit doors are one of the most important safety components for any commercial, industrial, or residential building. These doors are designed to withstand high temperatures, control smoke, and provide safe emergency evacuation paths during fire incidents.
Our team supplies and installs high-quality steel fire-rated doors, complete with panic push bars and outside lock systems, ensuring buildings meet safety standards while maintaining durable, long-lasting performance.
A fire-rated door is not just a door – it is a life-safety product. It helps protect people, equipment, rooms, and entire buildings by slowing the spread of fire. Because of its importance, every installation must meet strict testing, certification, and compliance with civil defense requirements in the UAE.
We provide fire-rated doors for villas, warehouses, factories, towers, schools, malls, hospitals, commercial buildings, and industrial plants. Each door is built with heavy-duty steel, fireproof insulation materials, and professional hardware that ensures reliable operation under emergency conditions.
Understanding Fire Rated Exit Doors
Fire-rated doors are specially engineered to resist fire and prevent it from spreading into other areas. These doors are tested to withstand fire for 60 minutes, 90 minutes, or 120 minutes, depending on the requirement.
A fire-rated door includes:
- Heavy-duty steel sheet
- Fire-resistant insulation core
- Smoke seals
- Fire-rated push bar
- Fire-rated lock & hinges
- Heat-resistant door frame
- Intumescent seals that expand in heat
The door remains functional even under extreme temperatures, allowing people to exit safely.
Why Buildings Need Fire Rated Exit Doors
Fire-rated doors are required by law in many types of buildings. They are mandatory in:
- Commercial towers
- Warehouses
- Industrial facilities
- Schools
- Hospitals
- Laboratories
- Parking basements
- Staircases
- Mechanical/electrical rooms
- Service corridors
- Shopping malls
Authorities require fire-rated doors to ensure people can escape quickly and safely during emergencies. Without these doors, smoke and fire can spread rapidly.
Door Configuration: Push Bar + Outside Lock System
Our fire-rated doors come with a panic push bar, which allows quick exit from the inside using only a single push. No key is required to open from the inside during emergencies.
To prevent unauthorized entry from outside, we install:
- Fire-rated lever handle
- Heavy-duty lock system
- Cylinder or key entry (optional)
This combination ensures:
- Fast emergency exit
- Controlled access from outside
- Safe and secure operation
