Fire Door Inspection App runs structured fire door inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each fire door, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see fire door compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Fire Door Inspection App runs a structured fire door inspection covering self-closing and latching action, intumescent and smoke seals intact, gaps to the frame within tolerance, hinges, glazing, and hardware condition, and signage and unobstructed operation, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, fire door findings live on paper and in chat. A fire door fault such as doors that fail to self-close or latch slips through. An audit then means rebuilding fire door evidence from folders.
Fire Door Inspection App keeps one record per fire door and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each fire door finding is tracked to verified closure. Facilities and fire safety teams see fire door completion and overdue actions across the health & safety portfolio. Every fire door record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Fire Door Inspection App?
A comprehensive fire door inspection covers the key areas that affect safety and compliance. Digitize fire door inspection workflows with forms, evidence capture, and automated reporting. Your inspection should include sections for self-closing and latching action, intumescent and smoke seals intact, and gaps to the frame within tolerance, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Fire Door Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps fire door inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned fire door template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, fire door, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the fire door.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially doors that fail to self-close or latch, damaged or missing seals, excessive frame gaps, wedged-open or obstructed doors.
For every failed fire door item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the fire door form. The fire door report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Fire Door Inspection Cover?
A fire door inspection covers self-closing and latching action, intumescent and smoke seals intact, gaps to the frame within tolerance, hinges, glazing, and hardware condition, and signage and unobstructed operation. Facilities and fire safety teams capture photo evidence on each fire door point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the fire door round off. So every fire door record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Fire Door Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Fire Door work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Fire Door Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Fire Door checks signed off on paper with no proof the fire door was actually checked
A fire door inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the fire door was actually checked, and whether doors that fail to self-close or latch, damaged or missing seals, excessive frame gaps, wedged-open or obstructed doors were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the fire door passed.
Problem
Fire Door checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm doors that fail to self-close or latch, damaged or missing seals, excessive frame gaps, wedged-open or obstructed doors were actually inspected
Fire Door findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital fire door form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every fire door check
Fire Door findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Fire safety contractor signs off the fire door fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the fire door is handed to fire safety contractor. A week later the fire door defect is marked closed. Whether the fire door work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Fire safety contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor fire door fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which fire door partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any fire door action is signed off
Fire safety contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened fire door actions linked back to the original finding
The fire door report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting fire door photos, notes, and inspection records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the fire door data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Fire Door reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads fire door data that is already days old
Every fire door report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded fire door reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled fire door reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent fire door report format across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Fire Door Inspection App check on a fire door inspection?
Fire Door Inspection App runs a structured fire door inspection covering self-closing and latching action, intumescent and smoke seals intact, gaps to the frame within tolerance, hinges, glazing, and hardware condition, and signage and unobstructed operation. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so facilities and fire safety teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which fire door defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the fire door failures that matter most: doors that fail to self-close or latch, damaged or missing seals, excessive frame gaps, and wedged-open or obstructed doors. Left unchecked, a fault such as doors that fail to self-close or latch can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so facilities and fire safety teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Fire Door Inspection App support for fire door work?
Fire Door Inspection App keeps fire door checks aligned to BS 476 and NFPA 80. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, facilities and fire safety teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run fire door checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Fire Door Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete fire door checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So facilities and fire safety teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a fire door inspection was completed?
Every completed fire door inspection carries closing-action note, seal and gap photo, and certification label photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, facilities and fire safety teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
