Guest Tim Juniper Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Have to remove door closer as fitted to the wrong side of the fire door and refit to correct side this leaves 6 screw holes on the other side of the door how does this effect the fire integrity of the door? Can they be filled and the door repainted or polished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Yes. If they are short fixing holes they can be filled with acrylic wood filler then sanded and painted over. Make sure the self-closer is suitable for use on that side of the door leaf, some closers aren't suitable for the push side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roman Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Can I screw (4 corner screws) a full length mirror (45cms x 120cms) into the fire door or must I use adhesive pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 My advice would be to not fit a full length mirror to a wooden door due to the weight of the mirror and its effect on the hinges and fixings as well as the shape (tendency to bow/twist) of the door over-time. In terms of it being a fire door, clearly where the weight of the mirror does have such an effect this could mean that in a fire the door could lose its stability (eg. warp, twist or bow) and cause the door to fail prematurely.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Have a fire door that someone has previously tried to fix. Now the door where the hinges screw in are completely stripped out. the door on the back side is also cracked. Is there any way to fix this door. larger screws were already placed in the holes so that method will not work. any advice would be great.

Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 From your description regarding the hinge fixing points AND the door being cracked, it may be better to replace the door. Without seeing the full extent of the defects its impossible to be more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
