Hello,
a quick question for those who have installed fire doors or anyone knowledgeable on the topic.
Attached is a picture. You can see that at the top there is a gap between the door leaf and the frame, unlike the sides where the door leaf aligns flush with the frame.
Is this normal, or could the door leaf possibly be too small, or maybe an installation error? The door only just touches the gasket at the top.

Between the garage and the house, we have a T30 RS (smoke protection) door. Everything fits perfectly there, and no drafts come through. However, it cost six times as much.

Hello,
Contrary to Steven’s statement, this is normal. I have a brand-new T30 door in storage (I just checked), and it is the same. The door does not have an overlap at the top, which is why there is always a gap between the door and the frame.
However, the frame has an internal overlap that ensures the door closes tightly. At least, this is the case with the door I have here in storage.
Since the gaps between the door and the frame cannot be adjusted, the gap dimensions are fixed due to manufacturing.
If you take a closer look at your door, you will see this.
Here are two pictures to illustrate:
As mentioned, the door is in storage and is brand new. You can clearly see that it has no overlap at the top.
