Building code question

[Gil Bang 26051]

door between garage and living area, i.e. "fire door".  

Solid core door is a "fire door", even if it isn't "rated", correct? 

No tag on this door.

If you can punch a hole through the door it isn’t a fire door.

I've never had a locality require a self closing device on any residential door application. Multi family adjacent to Parking decks is the only time I've encountered that requirement.

It's the norm out here.  House to garage doors MUST be self-closing.   And of course, everybody has a rubber wedge or other doorstop to hold the damn thing open.

Yeah every region picks and chooses the codes they do or don't enforce.

The cities can adopt or exclude any part of the code. We have needed the self closing device on attached garage doors for years to get our C.O.
