Commercial Fire Door Ratings
Fire protection levels for commercial building applications
Commercial buildings require fire doors across a range of ratings depending on building height, occupancy type, and specific location within the building. Most commercial applications are served by 60-minute fire doors—the standard commercial rating—but high-rise construction and specific occupancies may require enhanced ratings.
Key Principle: 60-minute is the standard commercial rating; 90 and 120-minute for high-rise and critical applications.
30-minute doors are rarely specified for primary commercial applications but may be used in residential components within mixed-use developments, or for internal partitions not requiring higher ratings.
Typical Applications
- • Hotel guest room doors (some jurisdictions)
- • Residential portions of mixed-use buildings
- • Internal partitions where code permits
Materials: All materials available
The baseline fire rating for commercial construction. 60-minute doors satisfy most building code requirements for commercial corridors, stairwells in low to mid-rise buildings, and standard fire compartment separations.
Typical Applications
- • Office building corridors
- • Retail store stockroom separation
- • Hotel corridors and back-of-house
- • Restaurant kitchen separation
- • Standard commercial stairwells
Best Value: Standard specification—best availability and value for most commercial projects.
Required for high-rise commercial buildings, typically those exceeding 75 feet (23m) or where enhanced fire protection is mandated. Common for exit stairwell enclosures in taller buildings.
Typical Applications
- • High-rise exit stairwells
- • Elevator lobby separations in tall buildings
- • Building core compartmentation
- • Parking garage to building separation
Materials: All materials available (90-min is max for wood)
Maximum rating for the most critical commercial applications—super high-rise buildings, critical infrastructure within commercial buildings, and applications where maximum protection is required.
Typical Applications
- • Super high-rise stairwells (150m+)
- • Fire command centers
- • Critical building infrastructure
- • Data center fire compartments
Note: Steel and glass only (wood not available at 120-minute)
Typical Ratings by Commercial Building Type
| Building Type | Height | Typical Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office Buildings (Low-Rise) | 1-4 stories | 60-minute | Standard 60-minute throughout typically complies |
| Office Buildings (Mid-Rise) | 5-12 stories | 60-90 minute | Check local high-rise threshold; often 75ft triggers 90-minute |
| Office Buildings (High-Rise) | 12+ stories / 150ft+ | 90-minute minimum | 90-minute standard; 120-minute for super high-rise |
| Retail Stores | 1-3 stories typically | 60-minute | 60-minute standard; may vary by occupancy load |
| Hotels | Varies | 60-90 minute | Height-dependent; guest room doors may be 30 or 60-minute |
| Restaurants | 1-2 stories typically | 60-minute | Kitchen separation often specifically required |
| Mixed-Use Commercial | Varies significantly | 60-90 minute (varies by area) | Rating varies by specific separation; code analysis required |

Commercial Specification Recommendations
- Default to 60-minute steel for most commercial applications—cost-effective, durable, code-compliant for most situations.
- Verify high-rise threshold with local code—90-minute typically required above 75ft, but varies by jurisdiction.
- Specify smoke seals for all stairwell and corridor doors—often required by code; always good practice.
- Include protection accessories for high-traffic commercial—kickplates and edge guards extend door life significantly.
- Match material to adjacent finishes—consistent appearance throughout commercial spaces.

Commercial Fire Door Certifications
Standards and compliance for commercial building applications
Commercial fire doors must meet rigorous certification standards to be installed in business, retail, hospitality, and other commercial occupancies. Building codes require listed and labeled fire door assemblies—certification provides the legal basis for installation and ensures doors perform as expected during fire events.
Key Point: Commercial projects require documented proof of certification for permit approval and final inspection.
The primary fire door test standard for commercial construction in North America. UL 10C testing subjects door assemblies to positive pressure conditions, simulating actual fire compartment dynamics.
