What does 'half hour fire rated' mean?
A half hour fire rated door is designed and tested to resist the passage of fire for at least 30 minutes, providing crucial time for evacuation and limiting fire spread.
Can I trim this door to fit my opening?
Fire doors have specific requirements for trimming. It is highly recommended to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional installer before making any alterations, as incorrect trimming can compromise the fire rating.

Clean the oak veneer with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the finish.
