Fire door
A request was posted here about the need to adjust this article.

I have worked in Passive fire protection for most of my career and have rounded it out as requested and provided subject related links to enable people to find out more.--Ahering@cogeco.ca 00:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Uncertain tone
Put simply an excessive gap of more than 3mm can effect the performance, this is due to the door having a tendency to drop during fire testing, so transferring the gap to the head of the leaf. 217.41.4.209 13:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes fire doors have apparently very large gaps at the foot of them, an inch or two even, allowing air movement, especially in dormitory facilities. This can lead the occupants of a building to question their status as 'real' fire doors. Presumably this doesn't allow fire to spread significantly.

This paragraph sounds very uncertain and a source should be cited. Do these gaps allow fire to spread under the doors or do they not? What are the legal requirements for space under a fire door? I have personally lived in a residence with carpeting under the rooms' fire doors and about a 1.5cm gap. CoderGnome 19:01, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protected for one month
I've semi-protected this page for one month due to excessive spamming. I hope that one month is enough time for this spammer to figure out that it's "game over" for them. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
