Fire doors are tested to keep out fire for a set time (usually 30mins). A 24'' fire door will keep out the fire just as long as a 33'' door, its the construction that matters most, delaying fire going from front of door through to the otherside.

What are fire exit doors made of?
Technically, a "fire exit door" is any door that leads to an exit discharge. Not all fire exit doors are required to have a fire rating or panic hardware or an out-swinging hinge. However, many fire exit doors are fire rated, meaning that they are expected to endure at least some amount of fire for a limited time. Also, some types of occupancies cannot have in-swinging doors anywhere in the egress path. In the US, they are often made of wood or metal. Sometimes they are part of a firewall that is part of a fire rated corridor, and have a rating (such as 1-hour).

An important part of exit doors are the direction of swing and special hardware that allows use in case of panic. Panic hardware for buildings with a large exit load includes a bar near waist height that unlocks the door when pressed from the inside. Some exit panic hardware has a built-in delay for security reasons. Doors made of aluminum and glass are often used at the front of stores and offices.

Fire doors may remain open as necessary in non-fire situations, but must be unobstructed and maintained in working order at ALL times.
