The two fire-rated doors a building in Halton Hills 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 Halton Hills 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 Halton Hills 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 Halton Hills 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 Halton Hills buildings do
The sectors that dominate Halton Hills — transportation, warehousing and logistics, advanced manufacturing, food and beverage processing — each put fire-rated doors in different places.
Transportation, warehousing and 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.
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.
Food and beverage 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.
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.
Construction and building materials wholesale
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
