ROI Impact
Fire rated door inspection automation schedules inspections based on regulatory requirements, sends notifications to inspectors, captures digital inspection data with photos, generates compliance reports, and creates work orders for deficiencies—all without manual coordination. This ensures 100% inspection compliance while reducing administrative time by up to 75%.
How This Automation Works
Scheduled Inspection Date Approaching → Complete Inspection Record Created
Schedule Generation and Notification
The system automatically generates inspection schedules based on regulatory requirements, building occupancy class, and previous inspection dates. Seven days before each scheduled inspection, notifications are sent to assigned inspectors with door location details, access requirements, and inspection criteria.
Mobile Inspection Data Capture
Inspectors receive mobile forms with standardized checklists covering all required components: door and frame condition, hardware functionality, gap measurements, label verification, and closer operation. The system captures photos, timestamps, GPS location, and digital signatures automatically.
Deficiency Detection and Work Order Creation
When inspectors identify deficiencies, the system automatically categorizes severity (critical, major, minor), creates work orders with detailed descriptions and photos, assigns to appropriate maintenance teams, and sets resolution deadlines based on safety criticality.
Compliance Documentation and Reporting
Upon inspection completion, the system generates compliance certificates, updates central tracking databases, creates audit-ready reports with all required documentation, and archives records according to retention requirements. Summary reports are automatically sent to facility managers and compliance officers.
Follow-up and Continuous Monitoring
The system tracks open deficiencies until resolution, sends escalation alerts for overdue repairs, schedules re-inspection for repaired doors, maintains compliance dashboards showing building-wide status, and automatically schedules the next inspection cycle to ensure continuous compliance.
How It Works
Fire rated door inspections are critical for building safety and regulatory compliance, yet manual tracking often leads to missed inspections, incomplete documentation, and compliance gaps. This automation system streamlines the entire inspection process by automatically scheduling regular inspections based on regulatory requirements, sending notifications to inspection teams, capturing digital inspection data with photos and deficiency notes, generating compliance reports, and alerting facility managers to critical issues requiring immediate attention. The system maintains a complete audit trail of all inspections, ensuring your organization remains compliant with fire safety codes while reducing the administrative burden on facility management teams. Integration with maintenance systems enables automatic work order creation for identified deficiencies, closing the loop on fire door compliance management.
The Trigger
The system monitors inspection schedules and automatically triggers notifications 7 days before a fire rated door inspection is due. Additional triggers include completion of building occupancy changes, post-repair verification requirements, or manual inspection requests from facility managers.
The Action
The system automatically creates inspection tasks, sends notifications to assigned inspectors, captures inspection data through mobile forms, generates compliance documentation with photos and timestamps, updates centralized tracking databases, creates work orders for any deficiencies found, and sends summary reports to facility managers and compliance officers.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Automation
Fire rated doors must be inspected annually according to NFPA 80 standards, though some jurisdictions or insurance requirements may mandate more frequent inspections. High-traffic fire doors or those in critical areas may require quarterly inspections. Automated systems ensure these varying schedules are maintained without manual calendar management.
