The two fire-rated doors a building in East Gwillimbury 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 East Gwillimbury 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 East Gwillimbury 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 East Gwillimbury 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 East Gwillimbury buildings do
The sectors that dominate East Gwillimbury — warehousing, logistics, and supply chain, advanced and traditional manufacturing, agri-food processing and agriculture — each put fire-rated doors in different places.
Warehousing, logistics, and supply chain
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.
Advanced and traditional 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.
Agri-food processing and agriculture
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.
Building and construction
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 trade 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.

Common questions about fire-rated doors
What makes a fire door fail an inspection?
Almost always the things people do to make a door convenient. Held open with a wedge or a hook, painted over or missing labels, a closer removed or disconnected, a latch that does not throw, gaps at the frame outside the permitted range, holes drilled for a new lock or card reader, and glazing or kick plates that were never part of the listing. Fire and structural damage show up too, but the common failures are alterations, not accidents.
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.
What fire ratings do doors come in?
20, 45, 60, 90 and 180 minutes are the standard ratings. Which one an opening needs is set by the fire separation it sits in, not by preference: the Ontario Building Code assigns a fire-resistance rating to the wall, and the door in it gets a matching closure rating. Some openings, notably in exit stairs, also carry a temperature-rise limit so the far face of the door stays cool enough to pass.
