On every door

What we actually check on a Thundersley and South Benfleet install.

  • Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
  • Glazing apertures — bead type, pin spacing, intumescent under bead
  • Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door
  • Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom
  • Latch and lock case fire-rated and CE/UKCA marked
  • Overall fit — does it actually self-close and latch from 30°?
  • Frame condition, fixings and packing material
