In the UK alone there is estimated to be 30 million non-compliant fire doors. 80% of these doors fail due to them having excessive gaps between the door and frame. The gaps are predominately found on lock side (closing side) However, a large number also have issues on the head and bottom of the door.

FrameFit is a fully tested solution addressing a huge non-compliance issue. FrameFit will not only be a much more cost-effective but will also save many thousands of fire doors from being discarded annually.

Fire door manufacturers are required to test their doors by subjecting them to a test procedure as specified in BS 476- 22:1987 or BS EN 1634-1:2014.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 reforms the law relating to fire safety in non-domestic premises. This order drives the industry where Frame Fit is concerned.

At some point every property requiring fire doors will be subject to a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). The results of an FRA dictates whether or not a door & frame is compliant.

If a door is failed due to excessive gaps, up until now a new Fire Door would have to be installed by an accredited and certified installer. The new FrameFit system remediates all gaps issues and can be fitted by a suitably trained operative.
