davey22 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Hi all , just inspected a fire door and the gaps are in need of some adjustment . Top edge 3-5mm The hinge edge is 3-1mm Leading edge 3.5 but with a small dent above the lock at 6 mm. Now the area isn’t huge . Would you deed this as a fail ? I have suggested packing bottom hinge over to increase within the 2-4mm tolerance and help an issue on the head . Would you allow a small area to have a bigger gap . May even only be by 1-2mm bigger max 8mm in height ? I don’t want to suggest a new door nor do I want to risk safety . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 The slight damage near the mortice lock faceplate can be easily repaired, just as you would with a normal timber door. As you say, adjust the door position in its frame to achieve the 2mm to 4mm gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
