iMCaan Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Hi. I've been searching for a pair maker/t-lipping for an internal oak fire door 44mm thick. I've done googling and visited many online door merchants but I've not found a 44mm pair maker / t lipping. They all to sell 35mm pair makers. Does anyone know where to buy an oak 44mm pair makers from? Thanks
Temp Posted October 14 Posted October 14 (edited) Deleted my original reply as I missed the bit about them being for fire doors. I can find 45mm like this but I assume aren't good enough for fire doors? https://www.davesdoors.co.uk/oak-door-pair-maker-3274-p.asp?srsltid=AfmBOors4zsjOLem-9uiJPEG7YWrJ56fC_ONw08DUBVxaAaRmiuvaYjP Edited October 14 by Temp
iMCaan Posted October 14 Author Posted October 14 (edited) Thanks @Temp I sent them a message yesterday to clarify whether it can be used on a 44mm thick fire doors. I don't think with a depth of 45mm it's the correct size to fit 44mm thick doors. I think the depth 45mm is from top to bottom so I'm thinking the top T header section is 12mm, which leaves the depth of 33mm. Therefore, it'll be for standard doors. Edited October 14 by iMCaan
Temp Posted October 15 Posted October 15 (edited) Perhaps this is a better link.. https://www.doordeals.co.uk/product/external-oak-pair-maker?srsltid=AfmBOorOtk1mFOcjaro12yfRj_4w77K3aYc1yNURf0wuRe2Fl5lqYVmN "This pair maker will allow the creation of a door pair with any 44mm thick external doors within our range" Edited October 15 by Temp
iMCaan Posted Thursday at 11:01 Author Posted Thursday at 11:01 (edited) Thanks @Temp I contacted them and they said it's not fire rated so building control won't approve it. Edited Thursday at 11:04 by iMCaan
Oz07 Posted Thursday at 15:59 Posted Thursday at 15:59 I don't think you will find a certified 45mm pair maker but you can Google it. I doubt building control are switched on enough to realise a pair maker isn't fire proof. Fire doors as doubles usually just meet in the middle with 3mm gap and intumescent strip in 1 face. You can do this, get sign off, then if 3mm gap really bothers you reduce doors down to allow pair maker
iMCaan Posted Friday at 12:28 Author Posted Friday at 12:28 Thanks @Oz07 I contacted the building control officer and he said exactly that (not the bit about adding pair maker later). 1
