Building code says it should be fire-rated. I had an interior door like that when I bought my first house and had to replace it to fulfill the mortgage requirements. > > You can get one at Lowe’s for around $100-ish. Probably $200-ish for the installation. Lowe’s subs out their installations and I had them do a front door on my house this year. Usually I do home projects myself but it worked out better to have them do it. The contractor picked the door up at lowes and brought it with him, so I didn’t need to go get the truck. Also, you don’t pay sales tax on installed products. I figured that effectively cut down the installation cost. That doesn’t sound too bad. We actually had all of the windows and exterior doors on the house replaced last year and our utility bills have been extremely low. The only part of the house that gets cold is the entry area by the garage door because of the thin door that is there. I figured if I switched that out, it would keep the downstairs a little warmer. I’ll have to go to lowes and see what type of selection they have. Did you have to widen your door frame when you switched from an interior door to a fire-rated door? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/home-improvement-question/200741)._
