FAQs

Can I cut the A8100 to fit a smaller door?

Yes, the unit can be trimmed down to fit your specific door width. Always measure twice before cutting.

Is this seal suitable for fire doors?

Yes, the A8100 is fire tested for both 30 and 60 minutes in accordance with BS EN 1634-1.

How much of a gap does this seal cover?

The seal is designed to bridge gaps of up to 14mm between the bottom of the door and the floor.

Does this seal block smoke?

Yes, it is smoke tested to BS EN 1634-3, making it effective for smoke control applications.

Can it be installed on a PVC door?

Yes, the design is suitable for use on timber, aluminium, and PVC door profiles.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, a saw for trimming, and a standard Phillips screwdriver for adjustment and mounting.

Troubleshooting

Seal does not lower fully when the door closes

Adjust the plunger screw using a Phillips screwdriver to increase the projection until the seal makes firm contact with the floor.

Seal is dragging on the floor surface

Adjust the plunger screw to decrease the projection. The seal should only touch the floor when the door is fully closed.

Seal doesn't align with the door frame

Verify that the unit is mounted level within the door groove and check that the door is not warped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Requirements

  1. Measure the door opening width accurately to determine if the seal needs to be trimmed.
  2. Ensure the seal is mounted into a prepared groove in the bottom of the door.
  3. Secure the unit using the supplied fixing screws.
  4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the plunger depth so the seal activates at the final moment of door closure.

Compatibility

This seal is compatible with most standard door types, including timber, aluminium, and PVC. It is specifically designed to handle floor gaps of up to 14mm.

Care

Maintenance is minimal. Periodically inspect the seal for debris buildup on the floor that might prevent a full closure. Wipe the bottom rubber component with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty, ensuring the mechanism remains free of obstructions.
