Compton Doors installs and services commercial hollow metal and fire-rated doors for properties across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Hollow metal doors have steel faces around an internal core. Frames support the hinges and latch, forming durable commercial entrances and interior passageways together with the door.
Hollow metal doors serve schools, offices and other commercial or institutional buildings, inside and out. The construction must suit the location. Whether replacing a damaged door or working from plans, consider the frame and door together.
Compton's hollow metal brochure shows single and double doors, including designs with glass kits or louvers and fire-rated versions. Glass provides visibility; louvers provide ventilation. Options must suit the opening and any required rating.
Fire ratings measure tested protection in minutes or hours under specified conditions, without guaranteeing containment in every real fire. A steel door is not automatically fire-rated.
Doors, frames and compatible hardware work together; glass and louvers affect permitted configurations. Replacements must meet the opening's requirements. A heavier door alone does not establish a fire rating.
A closer returns the door toward its frame; a latch holds it closed. Closing or latching trouble needs attention on rated openings. Existing labels and the building's door schedule identify the required replacement assembly.
We install and service hollow metal and fire-rated doors. Dragging, latching faults, visible damage and frame corrosion affect repair decisions. A suitable assembly may be repairable; extensive damage or an unsuitable assembly can require replacement.
Estimates are free. Include property details, photos of the door and frame, and any plans or opening specifications with your request. For pairs, show both leaves; describe closing or locking problems and say whether the work is part of a construction project.

No. Hollow metal describes the door's construction. A fire rating applies to a tested, labeled assembly with compatible components. An ordinary steel door cannot be treated as a rated door based on appearance.
Some rated assemblies allow glazing or a listed louver. The permitted size and type depend on the assembly. Share the opening requirements before selecting a design or altering an existing door.
That depends on the frame's condition and whether it is compatible with the replacement, including any fire-rating requirements. Include pictures of the frame, hinges and labels with your estimate request.
Sometimes. The decision depends on the cause of the problem, the extent of damage and the opening's requirements. A door that will not latch needs assessment of the door, frame and hardware together.
Size, frame work and the required configuration affect the estimate, including whether the opening needs a fire-rated assembly. Compton Doors provides free estimates for the work your property needs.
