Questions about Fire-Rated Door Repair, Replacement & Installation

Can you repair a fire-rated door that will not close or latch?

We can assess the labeled opening, closer, hinges, clearances and latching hardware, then scope compatible repair or replacement work.

Can you replace or install a fire-rated door system?

Yes, where the opening and approved scope support a compatible labeled door, frame and hardware installation.

Do you issue a fire-rating certificate or official code approval?

No. We perform code-conscious repair, replacement and installation using compatible components but do not issue engineering approval, official inspection certificates or fire-rating certification.

Can you replace GPW or wired glass in a door?

Yes. We can assess a damaged GPW or wired vision panel separately when the door remains suitable. We check the glass-retaining kit and opening requirements before recommending replacement glazing.

I hired DoorWin services to replace two cracked glass windows for a unit at my triplex. An exterior porch window and interior stairwell window I just needed the panes of glass replaced and not the entire frame . DoorWin was happy to do the job. Unlike some other companies who wanted to replace the entire frame at a higher cost. They were very quick with a quote and were able to perform the job on an extremely tight timeline that I had to unexpectedly move up. Very professional. Friendly. Dependable. Competitive prices. Took away all materials and left a clean worksite. Would highly recommend and will work with them again if I need another window repair.
