Hollow metal openings we evaluate in West Sacramento
- We start by checking the frame: whether it is plumb and sound, whether its label matches the rating the opening needs, and whether the hardware preps line up.
- That tells us if the existing frame can stay or needs replacement.
- Stock sizes and common ratings can arrive quickly; custom sizes, welded frames, and special finishes take longer.
- Lead time is part of the quote.
Doors, frames, and hardware we install
- Hollow metal doors, welded and knock-down frames, and the hardware that goes with them — hinges, closers, exit devices, locksets, coordinators, and gasketing — installed to template.
- On a rated opening the hardware is part of what makes the assembly compliant, so we specify and install it as a set.
Fire-rated openings and local requirements
- Requirements for a hollow metal opening depend on the specific opening — its fire rating, egress role, accessibility function, and the occupancy of the building.
- They are set by the building and fire authority with jurisdiction over your address, which in West Sacramento can be a city department or the county, depending on where the property sits.
- We confirm what applies to your opening before recommending work, and we tell you when a component repair is not the same as a full compliance inspection of the assembly.

What is a hollow metal door?
A hollow metal door is a steel door built from face sheets over an internal core, hung in a steel frame. It's the standard for commercial back-of-house, stairwell, mechanical, and exterior service openings because it takes abuse and is available in fire-rated assemblies.
What is the difference between a welded and a knock-down frame?
A welded frame arrives as one rigid unit and is set before the wall is finished — it's stronger and standard on new construction and masonry. A knock-down frame ships in three pieces and assembles around an existing finished wall, which makes it the usual choice for replacement work.
How do I know if my door needs to be fire-rated?
Look for a metal label on the hinge edge of the door and on the frame — it states the rating. Rated openings are typically required at stairwells, corridors, occupancy separations, and mechanical rooms. If a label is missing or painted over, the opening usually needs to be re-established as a rated assembly.
What information helps you prepare?
Opening location, size, and handing (or we field-measure); Required fire rating if known, or a photo of the existing frame label; Wall construction — stud, masonry, or existing frame reuse; Hardware needs — panic device, lockset, closer, card reader prep; Whether the opening must stay secured during the swap.
