This is in addition to Ozzb's comments. Fire rating of door to be mentioned clearly in the specifications . It should be as per NFPA standards or local standards. If a building is to be designed as flame proof one all fittings are also to be flame proof.

Please understand that being "fire-proof" means that it is not or never will be affected by exposures to any heat or fire sources regardless of time! NFPA materials ratings are for being 'fire-retardant', which means that the materials used are rated with certain amount of delay time before being burned and highest temperature it can withstand before becoming susceptible to any flame, heat and direct fire exposure. It is a life-safety issue as addressed by the NFPA!
