Fire Rated Doors in Lethbridge
In Lethbridge, a new or renovated building isn't done until fire prevention has looked at it. We supply and install fire-rated doors, frames and hardware so the openings are ready for that inspection.
Call our Calgary team403-650-5232Ready for the occupancy inspection
Lethbridge fire prevention officers inspect new buildings as part of building permit approval. Fire doors are on that list: the right rating for the separation, labels on the door and frame, closers that close and latches that catch.
Our rated steel doors and frames run from 20 minutes to 3 hours. They go in with listed hardware and the labels left readable. If an inspection finds a problem with an existing door, we repair it with parts that keep the rating.

Global News, 2025 year in reviewCommon fire door fixes
- Closers. Replaced or adjusted so the door closes fully from any open position.
- Latches and strikes. Realigned so the door latches positively every time.
- Gaps. Doors rehung or frames adjusted where the gaps around the door are too large.
- Hold-opens. Wedges replaced with magnetic holders that release on the fire alarm.
Send the door schedule and we'll quote rated doors, frames and hardware for every opening.
What fire rating does my door need?
It follows the rating of the wall, which is shown on your drawings. The door is usually rated lower than the wall. For example, a 1-hour wall commonly takes a 45-minute door.
Can you fix doors that failed a fire inspection?
Yes. Send the report and we'll quote each item, using parts that suit the door's label.
Do you travel to Lethbridge for small jobs?
Yes. We group Lethbridge work so one trip covers as many doors as possible, which keeps travel costs down.
