A rated wood door needs a larger vision lite than shown on the approved hardware and door schedule. The carpenter proposes cutting the opening in the field. What should the superintendent require?

Correct Answer

C) Obtain a listed, approved fire-door modification or replacement consistent with the rating

Fire door assemblies rely on listed components and approved preparations; field cutting a larger lite without listing or approval can void the rating. Other choices confuse safety glazing with fire-door listing requirements.

Answer Options
A
The superintendent should cut the lite if the glass will be tempered
B
Proceed if the opening is below 100 square inches, leaving fire door field alteration unverified
C
Obtain a listed, approved fire-door modification or replacement consistent with the rating
D
The superintendent should cut the door and paint the exposed core, leaving fire door field alteration unverified

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Fire door assemblies rely on listed components and approved preparations; field cutting a larger lite without listing or approval can void the rating. Other choices confuse safety glazing with fire-door listing requirements.
