The two fire-rated doors a building in Bolton uses — steel and wood
A fire door is not a door with a rating written on it. It is a tested assembly — leaf, frame, hinges, closer, latch and any glazing — certified together by a body such as ULC or UL, and it performs as certified only while every part of it stays as it was listed. Which of the two materials goes into a given Bolton opening is settled by where the door sits in the building rather than by budget: steel where the door is a tool, mineral-core wood where the door is part of the interior.
Where a building in Bolton carries fire-rated openings
The rating belongs to the wall first. The Ontario Building Code assigns a fire-resistance rating to a fire separation, and the closure in it — the door — gets a matching rating. In Bolton that lands on the same handful of openings in almost every building, and the count is usually higher than the owner expects.

Fire-rated openings for the work Bolton buildings do
The sectors that dominate Bolton — advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution, construction and trades — each put fire-rated doors in different places.
Advanced manufacturing
The walls that carry a rating are the ones around the process area and the electrical room, and the doors in them are steel because the leaf is in a plant. The recurring finding is a fire-rated door propped open for airflow or cable runs — the legal version of that is a magnetic hold- open tied to the alarm.
Logistics and distribution
The separation here is between the racked floor and the office block: cross-corridor and office-entry doors in a fire-rated wall, and a shipping opening usually too wide for a leaf, which closes on a rolling fire shutter instead. What fails is a frame knocked out of line by a pallet truck until the latch stops throwing.
Construction and trades
Fire-rated openings are scheduled against the fire separations on the drawings, with the hardware settled before fabrication because nothing can be prepped afterwards. Fire-rated doors are made to order, so the shop sets the date and the install follows it.
Retail and commercial services
A unit in a plaza or mall carries fire-rated openings the tenant never thinks about: the back-of-house door onto the service corridor, the stock-room separation, and the mall front itself, which on a fire-rated common area closes with a shutter or curtain on alarm rather than with the shopfront glass.
Offices & business parks
Stair doors are the largest single group in the building, floor by floor, usually temperature-rise rated and on exit devices. After a fit-out the two findings are always the same: a card reader drilled into a fire-rated leaf, and clearances thrown out by a new floor finish.
Healthcare & clinics
Smoke and fire compartments cut the floor plate into sections, and those doors have to work for a bed and a crash cart as well as for the separation. Cross-corridor pairs run on hold-opens tied to the alarm, and the finished wings take wood because the door is part of the ward.

Common questions about fire-rated doors
How long does a fire-rated door take?
Typically 4–6 weeks to produce a labelled door and frame once the shop drawings are approved, then 1–2 weeks to schedule the job and install it, depending on the size of the project. Certified assemblies are made to order with the hardware prep in the leaf, so the schedule is set by the fabrication rather than the installation. Inspections and most repairs, by contrast, are scheduled in days. Hanging a single labelled door and frame is usually a day on site; a building's worth of rated openings on a new build is scheduled over several weeks with the general contractor.
Can a fire door be held open?
Only by a device that releases it. A fire-rated door has to close and latch by itself when the alarm sounds, so it cannot be wedged, tied or hooked open — but it can be held open legally on a magnetic hold-open or an electrified closer tied into the fire alarm, which releases the door on alarm. That is the correct fix for a door people keep propping, and it is usually less expensive than the deficiency it prevents.
How often do fire doors have to be inspected in Ontario?
Monthly, and in full once a year. The Ontario Fire Code requires doors in fire separations to be inspected monthly and kept in working order, with any deficiency corrected. NFPA 80 adds a full inspection and test of every assembly at least once a year, documented and kept on site — it sets out what has to be checked and what counts as a failure. Our inspection page covers what that visit involves.
