leew

The installer advised building management the door is under the required 44mm thickness (its 42-43mm) and needs to be replaced. Even though the previous year it was deemed to be fine but had a couple of minor adjustments! And they insist on annual checks. Thanks Neil. I believe they are wrong on both counts.

so the 44m rule isnt the final say in effect ? You can buy a 35 mm fire door per your link ? Our installer says our door needs replacing despite them passing previous year..they are 42.5 /43mm thick. What about the check being annual - not what im reading in gov advice yet we are told they need doping annually.

any help appreciated - as others have said regs are not clear..im not inclined to spends 100s or 1000s if we dont need to.. Q - will a fire door 43 mm thick be compliant - is there leeway on the 44mm rule...? What is the min a fire door must be thick ? Q - do flat front doors need checking every year ? can anybody perform the check or do you have to hire in 'fire door inspectors..'? thanks

so a fire door can be 42mm thick and be compliant - i thought they had to be 44 min ? thanks!
