HOLLOW METAL DOORS
PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
A. General
Doors may be classified by their method of operation. There are four basic types: swinging, sliding, rolling
steel, and revolving. Though revolving doors are seldom, if ever, made of carbon steel, sliding and rolling steel
may be hollow metal.
This standard applies to hollow metal doors that are side-hinged swinging and mounted on either hinges or
pivots
B. Types of Construction
The details shown on the following pages pertain to HMMA door constructions outlined in the following
NAAMM/HMMA standard specifications:
HMMA 860, Guide Specifications for Hollow Metal Doors and Frames, is used and specified for hollow
metal doors and frames subject to less rigorous use than commercial and institutional applications.
ANSI/HMMA 861, Guide Specifications for Commercial Hollow Metal Doors and Frames, is used and
specified in commercial work is the continuously welded edge seam construction and it is this type that
is the basis of the NAAMM Standard.
ANSI/HMMA 862, Guide Specifications for Security Hollow Metal Doors and Frames, is used and
specified in applications where security against vandalism, break-in, or theft is a major concern.
ANSI/HMMA 863, Guide Specifications for Detention Security Hollow Metal Doors and Frames, is
used and specified for detention security.
ANSI/HMMA 865, Guide Specifications for Swinging Sound Control Hollow Metal Doors and Frames,
is used and specified for applications where sound control is a factor.
ANSI/HMMA 866, Guide Specifications for Stainless Steel Hollow Metal Doors and Frames, is used
and specified when stainless steel is required for corrosion resistance or aesthetics is a factor.
ANSI/HMMA 867, Guide Specifications for Commercial Laminated Core Hollow Metal Doors and
Frames, is used and specified for doors incorporating the use of laminated cores.
HMMA 850, Fire rated Hollow Metal Doors and Frames. Since fire rated doors may differ in certain details of
construction, refer to HMMA 850, Fire Rated Hollow Metal Doors and Frames standard for guidance.

PART 2 CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
A. Constructions
There are two basic types of door constructions:
STEEL STIFFENERS Vertical steel stiffeners, which can be channel, zee, hat, or similar shaped
sections, support the face sheets. The stiffeners are attached to the face sheets by spot or projection
welding.
LAMINATED CORE This is a sandwich construction in which the face sheets are separated by a core
comprised of honeycomb (Kraft paper) or polyurethane or polyisocyanurate or polystyrene or core
board or steel stiffeners. The core is laminated to the faces by means of an adhesive. Foamed-in-place
polyurethane cores are self-bonding and do not require additional adhesive.
