Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Mid Glamorgan: 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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply in Mid Glamorgan?
No. Mid Glamorgan is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.
