leew

more info on my door - its a notional door 42.8 mm thick was brought up to compliance in 2022 (strips/gaps etc). Now im being told as its under 44 its not thick enough and needs replacing - Im just wondering how they can go from its ok in 2022 to now it being to thin. ?!

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!
