Cracked Yellow Fire Door Repaired and Re-Coated

Another yellow painted fire door arrived with a split running down the leaf beside the meeting stile, close to the closing edge, alongside a scatter of old screw holes from past ironmongery. This fire door edge crack repair was completed in place and recoated, keeping the door in service throughout.

A crack along the edge like this tends to build up where the leaf takes repeated load, slamming against the frame or strain from fixings worked loose over time. The vulnerable closing edge is exactly where a fire door has to seal tightly, so a split here is worth treating properly rather than leaving to widen. Our technician consolidated the crack, filled the redundant screw holes, then rebuilt and repainted the edge in the matching yellow. The certified fire integrity of the leaf is retained, with the edge restored to a sound, continuous line.

How to guides make a painted edge split look like a five minute filler job, yet feathering the repair flat and matching a solid colour with no visible seam is precisely where home attempts disappoint. Magicman handles edge repairs on rated doors as everyday professional work. The after image shows a clean, unbroken yellow edge with no trace of the original damage.
