davey22 Posted September 23 Report Posted September 23 Hi all , just inspected a fire door and the gaps are in need of some adjustment . Top edge 3-5mm The hinge edge is 3-1mm Leading edge 3.5 but with a small dent above the lock at 6 mm. Now the area isn’t huge . Would you deed this as a fail ? I have suggested packing bottom hinge over to increase within the 2-4mm tolerance and help an issue on the head . Would you allow a small area to have a bigger gap . May even only be by 1-2mm bigger max 8mm in height ? I don’t want to suggest a new door nor do I want to risk safety . Quote
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted September 26 Report Posted September 26 The slight damage near the mortice lock faceplate can be easily repaired, just as you would with a normal timber door. As you say, adjust the door position in its frame to achieve the 2mm to 4mm gaps. Quote
