Guest Neil Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 A fire door in our office has a 6mm gap on the hinge side & 3- 3.5mm on the closing side. What is the best way to reduce the gap on hinge side to get 3-4mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 There is no quick and easy way to do this. Remove the door and loosen the door frame fixings so that the door frame hanging jamb can be moved-over and then re-install. You will need to check the gap between the surrounding wall and the doorframe is correct and make good the fire-stopping between the wall and door frame. Depending on the gap issue, you may have to completely remove the door assembly and re-install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike North Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Can the door be lipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Lipping depends on what fire performance certification exists for the door. I like lipping done correctly, but carrying out such work on site may void the door's third party certification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
