Steel Metal Door Thickness Explained

Infographic – Steel Metal Door Thickness Explained

Gauge is a measurement of steel thickness. The principle is simple: the lower the gauge, the thicker the steel metal door. A lower gauge will make stronger and more durable doors.
 
For a quick check, see these standard sizes:
14-gauge: about 1.6 mm
16-gauge: about 1.3 mm
18-gauge: about 1.2 mm
20-gauge: about 0.9 mm
 
It’s crucial to match the gauge to your specific use. High-traffic entries, for instance, require thicker steel for durability, while interior closets can make do with thinner sheets. The same principle applies to fire-rated doors, which can range from 14 to 22 gauge depending on the desired fire resistance.
