Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Morden

We provide fire door gap adjustments for buildings in Morden and the SM4 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

Fire door gap adjustment is the work needed to bring the gaps between a fire door leaf and its frame, and under the door, back within the tolerance in the door's evidence, typically 2 to 4 mm around the edges. We use the same method for buildings in Morden.

Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Morden: questions

Can you fix a big gap with a thicker intumescent strip?

Not as a general rule. Seals are tested for a particular gap; using oversized seals to hide a poor fit is not a reliable 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.

Do you cover the area around Morden?

Yes. As well as Morden itself we cover nearby towns including Mitcham, Wimbledon and Carshalton.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Morden?

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