Except in hospitals. There are some doors in rated walls in healthcare occupancies that do not require a fire resistive rating. Some do not require any hardware either.

Is it safe to assume doors in the wall will have self-closures? We often have to work with architectural plans that are very much lacking in details - to call them crappy is being kind. I usually feel confident the rated walls shown on the plan are accurate, but the door schedules (including hardware sets) are too often an architectural afterthought.
