Steel Doors & Frames 101 Offers AIA Credits
SDI just released a new online AIA course called Steel Doors and Frames 101 that provides one 1 AIA HSW CE hour. The framework for this course was developed by two veteran architect/specifiers, which was then developed by the Steel Door Institute’s Technical Committee.
This course covers the basics of fire rated openings and how to avoid negating a rating. It also details the performance levels of doors, how to avoid over- or under-specifying, the importance of hinge and strike locations, and specialty door products.
Steel Doors and Frames 101 is a free, online course that is available 24 x 7. It is perfect for newer architects or those who want to learn more about steel doors. Click here to take it today!
