November 17, 20241 yr comment_45735 Good evening, I don't know if anyone can help. My daughter was at work closing up following a group session and she was making sure all doors were shut. There was an open fire door so she released the door stop at the bottom and the door started to close then stuck. She gave it a gentle push and it slammed. The hinge box came away from the door and a couple of screws fell out. This caused the hinge to bend up. She is only small 7 1/2 stone and short. She is now subjected to a disciplinary and threatened with gross misconduct. Does anyone know if this is something that happens with doors easily. They wont provide us with evidence. She has taken this so badly and I am really worried. Many thanks Report

A fire door should completely and reliably self-close without having to be pushed, so the fact that it failed to do so would suggest that the door was in poor condition.
