Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Greenwich: questions

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Greenwich?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Greenwich is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Greenwich?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Greenwich can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
