Fire Door Gap Adjustment in Willenhall

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Willenhall, our fire door gap adjustments follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Willenhall.

Questions from Willenhall clients

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 to buildings in Willenhall?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Willenhall 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 Willenhall?

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

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.
