Fire Door Gap Adjustment in the East Riding of Yorkshire: 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.
How big can the gap under a fire door be?
It depends on the door's evidence. Doors without smoke control often allow a larger threshold gap, sometimes up to around 8 to 10 mm, while smoke control doors usually need 3 mm or less or a tested drop seal.
Which fire safety law applies in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
the East Riding of Yorkshire is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
