Fire Labels

Can Timely customers apply fire labels to frames in their shop?
Yes, we can set you up as a labeling shop to do your own modification, fabrication and labeling.

Where should the fire label be applied?
On a door frame, the label goes above the middle hinge. On a sidelite, it also goes above the middle hinge and on a borrowed lite, it goes on either vertical upright. If using a continuous hinge on a fire rated frame, the label is applied to the header on the hinge side.
