| 5 | Fire-Rated Steel Prehung Door | Steel leaf and frame supplied as a tested assembly, usually with labeled hinges, closer preparation, intumescent seals, and compatible fire-rated hardware. | Stairwells, corridors, plant rooms, commercial interiors, and residential buildings subject to fire regulations. | Common ratings include 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, depending on the tested assembly and jurisdiction. The complete door, frame, seals, glazing, and hardware must remain compatible. | Require a valid third-party test or certification, label details, permitted hardware list, clear installation instructions, and local approval before ordering. | Certification is more important than cosmetic customization. Shipping damage to seals, labels, or frames can invalidate compliance, so use rigid packaging and documented inspection. | Approximately US$1,000–3,000 installed
Typical product: US$500–1,600
Freight and import charges: US$200–700
Installation: US$300–700 |
| 6 | Solid-Core Interior Wood Door | Solid or engineered core, timber veneer or painted face, wood or composite jamb, three hinges, latch preparation, and optional acoustic seals. | Bedrooms, offices, hotels, apartments, and projects requiring better privacy and a substantial feel. | Better sound reduction and impact resistance than hollow-core doors. Acoustic performance depends on the entire assembly, including frame, seals, wall, and installation quality. | Compare core density, face veneer thickness, edge construction, moisture limits, hinge quality, machining tolerances, and available matching trim. | Less suitable for unprotected outdoor storage. Use moisture-resistant wrapping and corner protection; verify whether handles, locks, and casing are included or priced separately. | Approximately US$500–1,600 installed
Typical product: US$220–800
Freight and import charges: US$100–350
