Is this pet door fire rated? It is installed in a self closing fire door, between house and garage, so it must be.
I write those up as a breach of the fire door. Never get questioned on it.
How do you know the BIG door is fire-resistance rated? If it isn’t, then the kitty door doesn’t need to be rated.
PS: If it’s rated, there will be a UL label on the edge of the door.
I was assuming he already had verified fire rating for the big door.
Come on guys, I’m sure no one would ever install anything but a fire rated door where they are required, let alone install anything but a fire rated kitty door cut into such a fire rated door…got it? 
Why bother with negating a fire door, just train the cat for krist sake.

The big door was fire rated and self closing.
I retract all previous comments and now go with Marcel’s advice.
The entry into the house from the garage must have a 20-minute-rated fire door—a minimum 1 3/8-inch thick solid wood or steel door. The UBC additionally requires the door to be self-closing and self-latching.
As it is required by most jurisdictions that have adopted the IRC and IBC Wayne.

And that cat door is a breach in the door. Correct?
Unless it is one of these, which it is rarely encountered.

Marcel,
Thanks!! Good information. The door in question is not the type in your information.
Marcel,
I don’t think that door would be approved for use into the garage. It states it is an exterior door and while the door itself may be fire rated, I don’t know of any movable flap that would meet the fire rating necessary.
Overall, I would say the cat would be good stir fried with teriyaki sauce and rice. 
Local favorite?:mrgreen:
I didn’t think so either, but it does say it is rated for fire rated doors, dosen’t it?
Whether it is an exterior door or garage door, would not make a difference.
I have never seen one personally, but I am sure it is manufactured to meet the most recent codes somewhere, would you not think.

Has anyone tried this before, kind of an oriental dish isn’t it. :mrgreen:
Marcel :)
Why would you want your cat hanging out in an attached garage anyways?
