Garages often contain flammable materials and equipment. A fire-rated garage door can prevent a fire from spreading to the rest of the home, providing valuable time for evacuation and fire suppression. Fire-rated garage doors are typically rated for 20 minutes, 45 minutes, or more, indicating how long they can withstand fire. Inspect the door for any damage, warping, or deterioration, and ensure the seals are intact.
