Product Options

When choosing a fire-rated door for your home—especially for places like garage-to-house entryways—it’s important to understand the difference between full steel-edge and wood-edged options. Both are designed to slow the spread of fire, but they’re built differently and offer different levels of protection.

Full Steel-Edge Fire-Rated Door

  • Metal wraps fully around the door edges, making it stronger and more durable.
  • Can be rated for up to 90 minutes of fire protection when installed with a matching steel frame and proper hardware.
  • Factory-prepped hinge and lock locations—great for performance, but not adjustable.

Wood-Edged Fire-Rated Door

  • Has laminated wood along the edges, giving it a more traditional residential look.
  • Typically rated for 20 minutes of fire protection—best for single-family home use.
  • More flexible during installation—hinge and lock placements can be adjusted on-site.

Each door arrives factory-primed, allowing homeowners to apply their choice of finish paint on site. This ensures flexibility to match siding, trim, or accent colors. No pre-applied topcoat means optimal compatibility with existing design schemes.

Core Construction

  • Polyurethane core delivers strength and thermal performance
  • Reinforced edge materials reduce warping and support fire resistance
Doors include a factory-applied primer on both interior and exterior faces. This smooth, paint-ready surface allows for a tailored look that matches surrounding walls, casing, or interior trim.

Panel designs are curated for single-family homes, with options to suit both traditional and modern spaces:

  • Raised Ovolo Panel
  • Flat Panel Shaker
  • Flush Panel for clean, modern aesthetics

Standard heights apply. Cut-down sizing may be available based on local building code allowances.

Most doors are factory-prepped for standard locksets and hinges to reduce installation time. Compatible frame types include:

  • Composite frames with intumescent strip for wood-edge configurations
  • Split-steel kerfed frames for steel-edge door models

Standard 3-hinge configurations apply to 6’8″ doors. Always verify frame compatibility with WSP or local inspector.

Doors may be installed with standard or ADA-compliant sills as needed. While ADA thresholds are less common in single-family homes, jamb depths and door swings must accommodate your wall construction and project needs:

  • Ensure clearance for swing, hardware, and weatherstripping

Fire-rated doors in residential applications are typically solid-core without glass. When visibility or light is needed, consider incorporating separately rated sidelites or transoms as part of the overall entry system.

All doors carry factory-applied certification labels verifying compliance with fire testing standards. Depending on door construction and location, either neutral or positive pressure ratings may apply.

Trim is typically installed in the field to match existing molding. The following trim types are commonly used in fire-rated installations:

  • Flat primed casing for a clean drywall return
  • Colonial or traditional profiles for a finished look
  • Composite jamb kits available for full frame replacement
