Georgia-Pacific is the only major supplier of fire-rated door components that does not also manufacture its own fire doors. Instead, we concentrate on developing, testing, certification and manufacture of a full range of high-performance fire door components.

We test and obtain certification of wood composite fire doors for the United States and Canadian markets. In addition, our mineral core is approved for use in steel doors as an insulator. Working principally with Intertek-ETL Semko so that doors built with our components can carry the Warnock Hersey label, our fire testing yields an extensive set of manufacturing and machining specifications. These specifications are written, approved for engineering validity, and distributed by the testing authorities. They are made available at our discretion to door manufacturers that build their fire door programs around our components.

With the adoption of UBC 7-2 (1997), Georgia-Pacific has emerged as the industry leader in developing a comprehensive set of design options that address the new demands of positive pressure requirements.

International Considerations

Georgia-Pacific components have been used successfully in more than a dozen countries around the world. Though we do not actively test for certification outside North America, our international customers have been successful with fire door tests up to 120 minutes in England, the Middle East, Japan, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

Quality Assurance

Our Cuba, Missouri manufacturing plant is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
