Fire door damaged by drilling a hole

Featured Replies

Hi, I wanted your advice as I am the landlady of a shared house which is let to tenants. A fire door has been fitted to one of the rooms and unfortunately the previous tenant has drilled into it to fit a bolt and lock to it. They have removed this on leaving and filled the small holes with filler. I am wondering whether this will affect the fire proofing of the door and am concerned whether it requires me to completely replace the door with a new one. I would be grateful for any information and advice which you could send me. Thank you Helen

What size hole is permissible not to be filled ? Ie if I remove an item from the door that was screwed in , leaving small holes , do they need to be filled ?
