What Is Division 8 in Commercial Construction?
Division 8 of the MasterFormat construction specification covers doors, frames and hardware — all critical elements of commercial and institutional projects. These components play a key role in safety, security, accessibility, and compliance.
At CD Morris, we specialize in supplying Division 8 doors, frames and hardware for commercial projects — delivered nationwide, tailored to specification, and backed by expert guidance.
Hollow Metal Doors & Frames: Built for Commercial Demands
What Are Hollow Metal Doors?
They’re strong, fire-resistant, and secure — making them the backbone of commercial access points.
Why Use Them?
- UL and WH fire ratings (20 to 180 mins)
- Custom options: vision lites, louvers
- Tamper- and vandal-resistant
- Perfect for schools, hospitals, and industrial zones
Frames to Match:
We supply knock-down and welded steel frames suited for drywall, masonry, or wood wall systems.
Fire-Rated Doors: Code-Compliant and Life-Saving
Why It Matters:
Fire-rated doors are required by code and protect both life and property during emergencies.
Key Options:
- 20, 45, 60, 90-minute UL/WH-labeled doors
