The two fire-rated doors a building in Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill buildings do
The sectors that dominate Richmond Hill — corporate offices, medical and dental clinics, retail — each put fire-rated doors in different places.
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.
Medical and dental 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.
Retail
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.
Light industrial
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.
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
What is a fire-rated door?
A complete assembly — door, frame, hinges, closer, latch and any glazing — tested and certified to hold a fire back for a set time. It carries a label from a certification body such as ULC or UL, and the label belongs to the whole assembly rather than to the leaf. Change one certified part for an uncertified one and the opening is no longer fire-rated, which is why fire doors are specified as assemblies and never assembled from spare parts.
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.
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.
