What does a fire rating mean? What do the Label Levels Stand For?
Hourly ratings represent the duration of the fire test and the amount of exposure during the fire test.

1. A label: 3-hour rating (for 4-hour wall):  A labeled steel doors are used primarily for openings in walls that separate buildings that are joined together.
2. B label 1 ½-hour rating (for 2-hour wall): B labeled steel doors are used primarily for stairwell doors and sometimes are used for other doors in a building (i.e. mechanical or electrical rooms).
3. C label ¾ -hour rating (for 1-hour wall): C labeled steel doors are used primarily for openings from a corridor into another room in the same building.
4. D label 1 ½-hour rating (for a 2-hour wall): D labeled steel doors are used primarily for exterior walls subject to severe fire exposure from the outside of the building.
5. E label ¾-hour rating (for 1-hour wall): E labeled steel doors are primarily for exterior walls subject to moderate to light fire exposure from the outside of the building.
