When Metal or Fire-Rated Door Replacement Is Required
Not all doors can or should be repaired. Replacing the door restores safety, prevents repeat violations, and reduces long-term maintenance costs. Replacement is often necessary when:
- The fire rating has been compromised due to damage or improper modifications
- The door or frame is warped, cracked, or structurally weakened
- Inspection failures cannot be corrected with compliant repairs
- The door no longer self-closes or latches reliably
- Non-approved hardware has altered the door’s fire rating
- The door no longer meets current building or fire code requirements
Replacing the door system ensures long-term reliability, enhanced security, and compliance.
