  • Temperature Doors

    A temperature rise door is used when it is required to retard the transmission of heat from one area to another. It is a measurement of the rise in temperature above ambient temperature of the non-exposed side of the door during the first 30 minutes of the standard fire test. The lower the degrees, the better the rating. The currently accepted norm is a 250 degree rise over 30 minutes. A temperature rise rating is not required for a standard labeled fire door.

    The 250 degree temperature rise designation is the most stringent rating since it requires the most limiting rise in temperature. A 250 degree temperature rise door meets the requirements of specifications calling for a 450 degree temperature rise rating.

    Temperature rise doors are generally used in stairwells of high-rise buildings. The doors are used to limit the temperature rise through the door into the stairwell for a period of time, thus making it possible for people to exit the burning building by safely passing by the floor of the origin of the fire.

  • Lead Lined Doors

    These doors are designed to withstand radiation. These products are usually associated with the health care industry and the use of X-Rays, CAT scans, and MRI's.

    The weight and thickness of lead-lined doors is determined by the thickness of the lead required to withstand specific levels of radiation.

    Most doors and door frames are made with 1/8" or 1/16" thick lead. Consequently they weigh 200-300 pounds. West Central Manufacturing’s lead-lined doors are 1 3/4" thick and have the appearance of conventional hollow metal doors.

    These products can be fire rated up to three hours. Lead is in the center of the door.
