Yes. Metal doors with lite kits can be used in fire-rated openings. This is allowed when the glazing, lite kit, and door meet fire code.
However, not all glass sizes and configurations are permitted at every fire rating level. Fire-rated hollow metal doors with glass must use approved fire-rated glazing and hardware. This helps the full assembly meet safety standards.
