In considering 9.2.2.2.(2)(a), I would look at:
Steel frame?
Steel ‘commercial’ door?
Self-closing device?
Proper latching hardware?
Well installed?
If yes to all the above, I move on with the inspection.
My quick research shows that there were some manufactures that did make kalamein doors without tags. The main distinguishing feature of a kalamein door is that it is wood core not all-steel construction. As to the site-installed door skins, I’ve got quite a few of them here in Perth but in 9.5 buildings where they only needed to get 20 min and had recessed panel doors that didn’t meet the 45mm min.
