A friend of mine has a new build house and has just had carpets fitted and
three doors cannot be shut due to the bottom of the door catching on the
carpets. The doors a 6 panel hollow type but are fire doors. He can see
the 'fire strip' on the sides and top but doesn't think (from what he can
feel) there is a strip on the bottom face. He doesn't want to take them
off
until I get there next week!! Is there likely to be a fire strip on the
bottom edge and if so, can the doors still be trimmed (building regs)? I
presume so otherwise everybody that has them wouldn't be able to close
them
after having carpets fitted! Presuming they have the stips is there
anything I should be pre warned about or can I trim with a saw etc. as I
would on a 'normal' door?

Cheers

John


Hello John

You will not find the intumescent (fire) strip on the bottom of the door so
you would be able to saw or plane in the usual way.
