Fire Rating Required by building codes Residential

– 1 hour between house & garage Commercial

– Rating set by code and is typically longer than residential requirements

Fire rating controlled by– door type– door material (inside material and the covering)– chemical treatment of material inside

Exterior Hinged Door Typically 1 3/4” thick Many types (See samples in class)

– flush or slab doors» solid slab or solid core» hollow core

– panel doors

Solid Slab/Solid Core Doors

core made of lumber, particle board, or gypsum

covered with veneer

doesn’t warp weathers well

Hollow Core Doors

Interior type usage lightweight easy to install/operate filled with network

– cardboard– wood crossband– honeycomb– wood slats

Door Details

When drafting details of a hinged door, remember that you are cutting through a head, jamb, and sill– head - top– jamb - side– sill - floor

All details are placed in-line with each other

Process of Drafting the Door Detail

Threshold section/ frame sections

Blockout Dwg

Add building components

Reference Dwg

Head Pictorial

Jamb Pictorial

Head/Jamb Detail Since head and

jamb details are very similar, jamb detail often omitted and a label is placed on the drawing: JAMB SIMILAR

Sill Pictorial threshold commonly are

aluminum or oak material

gasket to keep draft out, materials:– rubber– neoprene– felt, sponge plastic

angled/sloped to keep out moisture

Sill Detail

Weatherproofing Adding material around

perimeter of door to prevent dirt, air, light, or sound from entering

Types of materials used– rubber– felt fabric– neoprene/vinyl– sponge plastic– metal

Threshold for Exterior Doors

Manufacture Catalogs– Pemko – Zero

Sections are typically to scale of: full size, half size, quarter size

Aluminum products are usually of extruded of an aluminum alloy (see sample in class)

Exterior Door with Slab Footing

Anchoring Methods1. Expansion shield & bolt

2. Tamp-in anchor

3. Redwood sleeper w/ galvanized nails

Exterior Sliding Door Details commonly shown without moving parts

Interior Doors

Normally 1 3/8” thick Widths vary in increments of 2” Applications:

– hinged– pocket– closet doors

» sliding » bifold

– accordion

Hinged Door Head/Jamb similar, No sill

Pocket Sliding Door Pictorial/Plan Door frame built as single unit Door same as hinged door but

hardware different Door slides into cavity in wall Restricts electrical outlets in area

of door pocket Wall area at pocket is very thin, 1

1/4” each wall side

Pocket Sliding Door 3 views

– head showing track– jamb showing pocket– jamb w/o pocket

Sliding Door (Closet)

Door thickness can vary 1 3/8” HC and thinner, shown is a 3/4” lumber core door

Notice how the HEAD detail lines-up with the SILL detail. This practice is common between head and sill details

Bifold (Closet)

HEAD DETAIL

Typical Door Detail Notes Full batt insulation Concrete porch 4” thick Header: 2-2x6 with 1/2” plywood

spacer Shim space 1/2” Add 3/8” particle board over 5/8”

subfloor Drop porch 1 1/2” from top of

3/8” particle board finished floor
