Trivial subject but wonder if any one can remember which company or trade association used to supply a little gadget / tool to measure gaps inbetween fire doors and corresponding frames.

If I remember correctly it also had a small mirror on it so you could check for any markings on the top of the fire door.

The compnay would send them out free of charge if I recall... anyone remember who it was? It isnt TRADA (have already tried them)
