Fire-Rated Double Front Entry Doors – Safety Compliance for Commercial Spaces

Release time : January 01 2026

Every day, commercial spaces like shopping malls, office buildings, and hotels buzz with activity—employees rushing to meetings, customers exploring stores, guests checking in. Behind this vibrant energy lies a critical responsibility: ensuring the safety of everyone inside. When it comes to fire safety, one element stands as a silent guardian, often overlooked until it matters most: the entry door. Not just any door, but a fire-rated double front entry door designed to slow the spread of fire, protect lives, and keep businesses compliant with strict safety regulations. For over two decades, Coloria has stood as a trusted partner in this mission, blending expertise, innovation, and a deep understanding of regional needs to deliver solutions that don't just meet standards—they exceed expectations.

Why Fire-Rated Doors Matter in Commercial Spaces

Fire incidents in commercial buildings can escalate in minutes, turning a small spark into a devastating disaster. In crowded spaces, every second counts. Fire-rated doors act as barriers, compartmentalizing fire and smoke to give people time to evacuate and firefighters time to respond. They're not just metal and wood; they're lifelines. But not all doors are created equal. In regions like Saudi Arabia, where commercial development is booming under initiatives like Vision 2030, safety compliance isn't optional—it's a cornerstone of responsible building design. This is where Coloria's expertise shines, particularly as a saudi arabia building materials supplier with a proven track record of meeting local and international standards.

Consider this: A recent study by the Saudi Civil Defense found that buildings with properly installed fire-rated doors reduced fire-related casualties by up to 60%. In a country where commercial construction is growing at 7% annually, these doors aren't just products—they're investments in community safety.

These materials aren't just chosen for their fire resistance; they're selected for durability, ensuring the door stands up to daily use while maintaining its protective properties for decades.

Our fire-rated double front entry doors undergo rigorous testing, meeting standards like BS 476 (UK), ASTM E119 (US), and Saudi's own SASO 2870. Each door comes with certification documentation, giving architects, contractors, and building owners the confidence that they're meeting local codes and international best practices.

Case Study: Riyadh Mall Expansion Project

In 2024, a major shopping mall in Riyadh underwent a 50,000 sq.m expansion, aiming to become a regional retail hub. With over 100 new stores and a projected daily footfall of 20,000, fire safety was a top priority. Coloria was chosen as the commercial building materials supplier for the project, tasked with providing fire-rated doors for all main entrances and emergency exits.

The challenge? The mall's design required doors that were both fire-rated (60-minute Class A) and visually striking. Our solution: custom steel doors with wood grain finishes and fire-rated glass panels, allowing natural light to flood the entrance while meeting SASO 2870 standards. Post-installation, the mall's safety consultant noted, "These doors don't just check a box—they enhance the space. In a fire drill, we saw firsthand how they slowed smoke spread, giving our team valuable time to evacuate test participants."
