You are probably mistaken that the other Unit doors were replaced because they contained asbestos. It would have been for another reason, such as their general poor state, missing tags, gaps around the sides being too big, etc.
What are the chances that the doors haven’t been altered, damaged or had holes drilled in them over the years? Most strata owners and residents have no idea that their front doors are common property and should not be altered in any way – peepholes being the the most common intrusion.
You are correct in saying that asbestos doors are not a problem in themselves, provide their integrity hasn’t been compromised, but reading between the lines on the original post, it seems that the fire safety inspectors had identified the OP’s door as problematic, alerted the strata manager and committee but nothing was done.
