The corrugated cardboard and wood strip shall be held firmly in place by three 3/8 inch by 0.18 steel bands on each door. 4. Wood strips shall be marked clearly giving door type, size, hand, lock preparation and mark number. The metal banding shall not interfere with the marking

3 B. Storage and Protection 1. Properly store and protect this material. Should the priming coat be faulty or rust or scale appear, clean exposed surfaces to bright metal and apply a suitable approved priming coat applied before finish painting

4 PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.01 DOORS A. General - Refer to the Drawings for various types of doors, including sizes and fire resistive label ratings. B. Manufacture - To establish a standard of quality and design desired, specification shave been based on the use of doors manufactured by the Steelcraft Manufacturing Company, Superior Steel Company, or the Republic Steel Corporation. Similar doors of other manufacturers will be considered for approval as an equal, by the Architect, upon receipt of adequate supporting data, including samples if requested and a certificate of compliance as specified hereunder. C. Door construction - Full flush, beveled on hinge and lock edges, fabricated with vertical edge joints completely filled and ground smooth, and meeting the following additional requirements: 1. Faces - 18 gauge stretcher-leveled steel for interior doors and 16 gauge galvanized stretcher-leveled steel for exterior doors. 2. Core - Kraft honeycomb, foamed-in-place polyurethane, (for all exterior doors) or continuous steel reinforcing spaced not more than six inches on center with sound deadening insulation, as standard with the specified manufacturers. 3. Hardware reinforcement - hinges, 8 gauge, minimum; closers, 10 gauge, minimum; locks, 10 gauge, minimum; kick plates, 18 gauge, minimum; all other hardware, 10 gauge, minimum. 4. Top and bottom weather caps - Flush, 18 gauge, minimum, fully welded to exclude water. 5. Glazing beads - Steel or aluminum, as standard with the manufacturer, with edges flush with faces. 6. Galvanizing for exterior doors - As specified hereunder. 7. Treatment and priming - As specified hereunder. 8. Underwriter's Laboratories label doors - Provide all modifications to specified door construction, as required by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. and National Board of Fire Underwriters, to meet required fireresistive rating, and equip each door with the appropriate UL label identification plate

5 2.02 METAL FRAMES A. General - Refer to the Drawings for sizes and profiles of frames, related items, and locations of pressed steel frames. Provide welded frames for all locations. B. Materials - Frames, reinforcements, anchors, anchor clips, and related items shall be fabricated from prime quality cold-rolled steel (galvanized for all exterior frames and for interior frames so noted), and where so indicated, all of the following minimum gauges: 1. Interior frames - 16 gauge steel. a. All interior frames at toilet and locker rooms and at kitchen 16 gauge galvanized steel. 2. Exterior frames - 14 gauge galvanized steel. 3. Reinforcing channels, where shown, and in heads of frames 36 inches wide and greater, except where UL label requirements prohibit same - 12 gauge steel for steel frames. 4. Hinge, lock and strike reinforcement - 3/16 inch thick steel for steel frames. 5. Door closer reinforcement - 12 gauge steel for steel frames. 6. Floor clips - 3/16 inch thick steel for steel frames. 7. Frame splines - Same thickness as frames. 8. Glazing beads for steel frames, where indicated - 16 gauge steel. C. Construction 1.
