Small Gaps Can Create Big Compliance Problems

When gaps become too large, uneven, or damaged, fire-rated openings may not perform as intended. The GapGauge helps facility teams spot potential issues early and plan the right next step before inspection problems arise.

What It Helps Your Team Check

    Check common clearance points around the top and sides of the frame.

  • Meeting Edges

    Review paired openings where excessive gaps may affect performance.

  • Door Alignment

    Spot uneven gaps, sagging, shifting, or other alignment concerns.

  • Inspection Readiness

    Identify openings that may need closer review before an inspection.
