FAQs
Common questions.
What are the most common fire door defects?
Common defects include excessive gaps around door edges, damaged intumescent or smoke seals, faulty self-closing devices, loose hinges and damaged door components. These issues can compromise a fire door’s performance and should be assessed and rectified by competent professionals.
Can a damaged fire door be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Many fire door defects can be corrected through adjustments, repairs or replacement of compatible components. However, significant damage or alterations affecting the door’s fire-resisting performance may require complete replacement. VMES assesses each door to determine the most appropriate compliant solution.
