Tom1234 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi Guys, Please can somebody advise, I have over 80 fire doors where the hinge blades have been moved forward. I thought it was for the batwing seals at first but the gaps on most were 5-7mm which was too much. This has left a void in the frame where the hinge should be and the intumescent around the frame stops at the hinge. Should this continue behind, filled or frame replaced? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Before you fill that gap with intumescent or non-combustible material check that: The fire door leaf does not sit proud of the door frame at any point. Have the hinges been checked for compatibility with the fire door leaf, in terms of fire rating and dimensions? Are these 'extended butts', are the fire doors intended to open to 180 deg?

Guest Tom1234 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hi Neil, Thanks for the response much appreciated. I will re-attend site an triple check the above before committing to any remedial works. I don't believe the doors are intended to open to 180 deg. cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
