Fire Safety and Door Gaps !

The most dangerous door gaps are those that compromise fire safety.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines, gaps around fire doors are critical.
For example, the maximum gap for labeled steel fire doors should not exceed 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) in the vertical plane when the door is closed.
Larger gaps can allow smoke and flames to pass through, which can be life-threatening during a fire.

Properly sealed doors with minimal gaps are essential for preventing the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring the safety of building occupants.
If you’re concerned about door gaps in your home or building, it might be a good idea to have them inspected and, if necessary, adjusted to meet safety standards.
