About this file

This document is a technical specification section (08 11 13) for hollow metal doors and frames, part of a project to replace fused and obsolete electrical panels at the Montrose VA Medical Center in New York. The specification provides detailed requirements for interior hollow metal doors and frames, including material specifications, fabrication standards, and installation guidelines. Key technical details include:

Doors must be 44 mm thick, manufactured to ANSI A250.8 standards, with sheet steel Z120 or ZF120 coating, vertical steel stiffeners for cores, and meet Level 2 and Physical Performance Level B for heavy-duty interior applications. Frame installation requires precise anchoring methods, including expansion bolts, bracing, and specific techniques for masonry and metal-framed walls. The specification emphasizes fire and smoke control door requirements, with references to NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 standards, and includes sustainability requirements such as 30% minimum recycled steel content.
