Burlington is roughly a 35-minute run from our Mississauga shop — less if a technician is already in the area — so a truck is usually on site the same day.
Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
The two fire-rated doors a building in Burlington 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 Burlington 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 Burlington 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 Burlington 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 Burlington buildings do
The sectors that dominate Burlington — manufacturing, food processing, logistics — each put fire-rated doors in different places.
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.
Food processing
The rating sits on the separation between production and the rest of the plant, and it has to survive washdown and a sanitation schedule. Gasketing painted over or torn out during cleaning is the commonest deficiency, and putting it back is a listing question rather than a maintenance one.
Logistics
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.
Corporate offices
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.
Condos & property management
Garbage and chute rooms, storage rooms, the parking-level separation and the suite entries: the four groups an inspection always visits, and the four a manager is asked to produce paperwork for. Across a portfolio it is a scheduling exercise more than a door one.
Hotels & hospitality
Guest-room doors are fire-rated at the corridor and finished on the guest side, hung by the hundred, so a floor is refurbished as a set rather than a door at a time. The kitchen and servery pass-throughs are the wide openings, and those close on shutters.

Common questions about fire-rated doors
Can wired glass still be used in fire doors?
Traditional wired glass is largely gone from new work. It passes the fire test but fails the impact requirement that now applies to hazardous locations, so new vision lites are typically fire-rated ceramic or specialty-glass products, filmed or laminated to meet impact as well. Wired glass already installed in an existing fire-rated door is generally allowed to remain until the door or the glazing is altered.
Can you repair a fire door, or does it have to be replaced?
Many deficiencies are repairable within the listing — replacing a closer or latch with a certified equivalent, refitting hardware, correcting clearances, repairing a frame, and re-labelling in some cases. What cannot be repaired is an unauthorised field modification: a hole cut for a lock, a lite kit added after the fact, or a leaf cut down to fit a new floor. Those are replacement, because there is no legitimate way to restore the listing.
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.
