Independent Fire Door Inspection Checklist

This independent fire door inspection checklist helps verify the condition and compliance of fire doors across a site. Capture door ID, location and required fire rating, and record leaf and frame dimensions. Measure gaps at the top, hinge, lock, threshold and meeting edges, and confirm installation of intumescent and smoke seals. Check ironmongery condition, support construction, frame-to-wall sealing, and closer operation. Add photo evidence and note additional comments. Use the built-in recommendations to action issues such as adjusting gaps, replacing hinges, seals, locks, glass panels, drop-down seals, or sealing frames to walls, including lipping replacement. The checklist references BS8214:2016 and supports thorough documentation across floors including basements and plant rooms to improve fire safety compliance.
