Thanks Neil, very useful as I do have some other doors with timber frames that are in need of repair. The majority of the doors which have had the Perko's disconnected from the frames are composite doors where the frame has a Upvc outer and a timber inner where it looks as if the timber has just been chiselled out. Would the same principle apply as you've said above, although it looks like it would be much more difficult to have a right fit. I tried to attach a picture but the file was too big.

Hi, I have a situation where new fire doors were fitted to elderly tenants flats with Perko's. The doors were too heavy for the tenants, so the Perko's where disconnected from the frame and an overhead free swing device was fitted (In some cases the Perko has been removed completely). Once the door is closed, there is still a gap between the frame and disconnected Perko which compromises the integrity of the fire door. I am looking for some advice on how to overcome this issue. Thanks
