Steel fire-door leaves & frames, OEM

We fabricate steel door leaves, frames and sheet-metal parts to the approved drawings of your fire-door program — as your own production line or as an added production partner.

Steel door leaves, built to your drawing

Skins are laser cut and bent to size, internal reinforcement is added where your design calls for it, and the leaf is prepared for closers, locks and hinges.

  • Steel skins cut and bent at the edges
  • Internal stiffeners to keep the leaf flat and rigid
  • Core material as specified in your design
  • Reinforcement for locks, hinges and closers
  • Powder-coated finish in the colour you specify

Steel door frames, made to your profile

Frames are cut, bent on our CNC press brakes and welded at the corners according to your drawing — profile, wall opening and hardware positions included.

Frames and leaves can be produced together, so they arrive as matching sets for your fire-door or steel-door program.

Construction

What goes into a steel door leaf?

For fire-door programs, the core, steel thickness and construction details follow the customer's approved design. We fabricate to that design.

Hardware preparation

Cut-outs and reinforcement, done in-house

Cut-outs and reinforcement for locks, hinges and closers are made during fabrication — laser cut or punched to your hardware template, then checked on the finished leaf and frame.

This means less site work for installers and a better fit for the hardware you specify. Please send your hardware list and templates together with your drawing.

Added production capacity

If your company already runs a fire-door program and needs extra capacity, we can support you as an added production partner. We fabricate door leaves, frames and sheet-metal parts to your approved drawings and specifications.

About certification. HWDC Steel is an OEM fabricator. We build to your approved drawings and specifications; fire ratings, listings, labels and inspections stay under your own certification program and its requirements. We do not change the design without your confirmation.
