Fire Rated Doors and spec plates
Fire Rated Doors and spec plates
(OP)
The hospital I work for was constructed in 1968 and none of the bedroom doors or corridor doors have fire rated name plates indicating burn time. Are plates available for these doors (13/4" solid core)?

Check the top of the door, back in the old days they sometimes put the label on the top of the door. If not, u will need to replace the door to receive the rating.

I think it didn't. (What a way to conjugate a sentence)

Off the top of my head, I would say your doors have at least 20 minutes of fire-resistance based on ASTM E-119 fire test performance requirements. I can't confirm it without performing some calculations and reviewing the previously mentioned references.
