DOORS
Specifier Notes:
(I.) Taylor Building Products INC doors provide superior insulation values, even in sub-zero temperature
ranges. The Apparent U-Value of Taylor opaque doors (Btu/ (ft2 _ h _ ˚F)) were as follows, 1 ¾” (45 mm)
24 gauge 0.18. Note that these ratings do not apply to panels but to operable door frame assemblies. Test
reports from Architectural Testing Laboratories Inc. per the NFRC 102-2001 are available to qualified
design professionals upon request.
(II.) Taylor Building Products INC Doors, meet the following specification requirements. Door panels are
manufactured of hot dipped material in the 0.6 oz. coating class conforming to ASTM Designations A924
and A653 (replaces A525 and A526, respectively) coating class A60. The material is treated in the mill to
ensure superior prime paint adhesion. In addition, the galvanized doors and frames receive a coat of rust
inhibiting white primer to ensure maximum adhesion of field applied finish paints.
(III.) Taylor Building Products INC Doors provide tested performance. Taylor Systems provide 90 minutes
of fire protection up to 8 foot high. The doors also meet the demands of a Grade 40 Security rating, as well
as the Hurricane Impact Code compliance areas with our Secur-A-Storm System. This tested performance
from doors without a single weld. There are no welds to provide blemishes or destruction of the rust
inhibiting galvanic coating. Unique engineered features include a composite lock block; which eliminates
typical wave in the lock area while enhancing structural performance, adjustable hinge plate to insure door
alignment for optimal performance (Durador & Royal), & slide on bottom sweeps for easy replacement &
maximum water & air infiltration resistance.

Related Products Installation: Refer to other sections listed under Related Sections for related
products installation.
Specifier Note: Finish coat recommendations: Taylor’s prime paint has been formulated to give the
product maximum protection. It is important that compatible materials be used in the final or finished coat
of paint. The painting contractor should test a small section of the door or frame if there is any doubt as to
the composition of the finish coat. Certain finish coat materials are not recommended. Consult
manufacturer.
Specifier Note: Repainting: Should it become necessary to add a field coat of finished paint to a factory
finished door or frame, first sand the door or frame for better adhesion and prime any bare metal. Due to
the many types of paint available today, it is recommended that the customer test a small area with the
coating before proceeding. Installation recommendations are available from the manufacturer.
