Hollow Metal Steel Doors

The back door for the Nice Rice Asian Eatery on N.W. 188th in Hillsboro. Your one stop shop for great Pan Asian cuisines apparently left something cooking a little too long.

It is pretty clean by the time we first arrive to measure for a new door, but the place was apparently gutted by fire.

Actually, we have no idea what the cause of the fire was, but you can see one example of why we have fire-rated steel doors. To keep the flames contained.

By the time we returned with the new door and jamb assembly, the general contractor had the new drywall on the interior.

Tony Getz finishes peeling off the remnants of the original steel jamb from the masonry wall.

With the original door & jamb assembly removed, we can turn to the task of setting the new door and jamb assembly into place.

The new jamb is secured and braced as we fill in behind it with grout. Yes, the weight of the new door is being used to hold a board against the jamb so the grout does not pour back out.

Later that same day, the new door, jamb, hydraulic door closer and the panic device are installed and ready for use.

All that remains is a coat of paint.

Hollow Metal Steel Doors. They are probably not like the doors found on spaceships, submarines or nuclear reactor facilities, but they are probably your strongest general use commercial door available.
