Can the auxilary fire latch (AFL) be mortised into a Steelcraft door, or must it be surface-applied.

In general, if the construction of the door covers AFL mortising in the door manufacturer's file, then this is ok.

Note that Steelcraft does not have this information in their files.

Modifying a door to accept a mortised AFL is not currently allowed by NFPA 80.
