Introduction

A newly constructed shopping mall in South America needed a reliable fire door solution that strictly complies with international standards while adapting to local building safety regulations. After evaluating multiple suppliers, the project’s engineering team selected TOF DOOR to supply UL 120-minute fire proof doors for critical areas including emergency exit corridors, electrical rooms, and fire compartment zones.

Challenge

• The mall covers over 45,000 square meters and required high traffic-resistant fire doors with a 2‑hour fire rating.

• Local fire codes demanded UL 10C (positive pressure fire test) certification.

• Short construction schedule: delivery had to be completed within 35 days from order confirmation.

• High humidity and temperature variations in the region required additional anti-rust and anti-deformation treatment.

Solution from TOF DOOR

Leveraging our “agile problem-solving” capability and global market adaptability, TOF DOOR provided:

• UL 120-minute certified fire doors with tested intumescent seals and reinforced steel structure.

• Custom anti-corrosion coating (zinc + polyester powder) to withstand South America’s humid coastal environment.

• Rapid production & shipping from our Ningbo port‑aligned factory: order to delivery in 32 days.

• Full documentation package including UL certificate, mill certificates, installation drawings, and bilingual (English/Spanish) instruction sheets.

Result

• All 186 fire doors passed on‑site random inspection by the local authority.

• The mall obtained its fire safety occupancy permit on schedule.

• The project contractor praised TOF DOOR’s transparent communication and swift response to technical questions.
