Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Wednesbury: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wednesbury?

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

Do you cover the area around Wednesbury?

Yes. As well as Wednesbury itself we cover nearby towns including Tipton, West Bromwich and Willenhall.

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.
