Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Craigavon: questions

What gap is allowed around a fire door?

Most guidance and manufacturers' evidence expect gaps of about 2 to 4 mm at the head and edges, with 3 mm as a practical target. The door's own certification or test evidence takes precedence if it states a different figure.

Why do gaps open up over time?

Hinges wear and drop, frames shrink or move, leaves warp, and doors are sometimes planed after flooring changes. Each needs a different repair.

Do you cover the area around Craigavon?

Yes. As well as Craigavon itself we cover nearby towns including Portadown, Lisburn and Newry.

Does regulation 10 apply in Craigavon?

No. Craigavon is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.
