Common questions
Can I fill a damaged fire door?
Small cosmetic damage, sometimes. Holes and splits generally can't be filled to restore fire performance unless the manufacturer specifies a method.
Is replacing the leaf only cheaper?
It can be, but only if the frame is covered by the new leaf's evidence — which is rare.
