Fire Doors Brisbane — firedoorsbrisbane.com.au — arranges these inspections with a QBCC-licensed contractor across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and the Gold Coast.
The question is whether the assembly can be returned to the configuration it was certified in. Seals, closers, hinges and furniture usually can be. A leaf that has been cut, drilled through, delaminated or water damaged usually cannot.
Getting that judgement right is worth money. Replacing a door that only needed seals is expensive; repairing a leaf that should have been replaced is worse than expensive.
A repair has to preserve the tested assembly. Packing a frame, planing a leaf to close a gap, or fitting hardware that was not part of the tested set can each leave a door that shuts beautifully and is no longer compliant.
That is why this work belongs with a contractor who holds the licence and knows what the door was certified as.
