We have a fire door in an industrial unit that separate a stores area from offices. It is sitting at an angle and has a visible gap between it and the door frame. This is obviously unacceptable.
However, the door frame is situated in a stud partition wall of unknown fire resistivity.
I am unsure what to specify in terms of fire rating for a new door.
Can anyone offer any suggestions, please?

If its a fire door in a compartment wall, its probably meant to be 30mins FRSC. If you had a fire certificate this would show what was required. Your fire risk assessment should pick this up.

You also need to look at what is in your stores? as this will help determine what rating the door should be.

I would respectfully suggest at least a minimum of 1 Hour frsc fire resistance self closing door.

Personally if it is a proper fire door I would suggest getting the door serviced rather than replaced, this is often more cost effective than a replacement. In-tumescent and smoke strips can all be fitted to replace existing ones, and if need be the door jamb can also be replaced.
If there are gaps between the frame and the walls, these can be filled with fire resistant foam, and sealed with fire stopping mastic.
