Emergency Door Release Check

by Michael O’Dwyer, from the Community

Use this monthly emergency door release checklist to ensure all egress points function correctly and comply with safety requirements. Inspect the condition of emergency release buttons, confirm that pressing the button cuts power to door magnets and releases access control, and verify the unit resets properly with the key. Cover multiple levels and door locations, record findings, add signatures, and capture dates to maintain clear compliance records and support ongoing facility safety.

Fire Door Checklist
This fire door checklist guides facility teams through a comprehensive inspection of door assemblies to maintain fire safety and compliance. Assess the door leaf and frame condition, verify intumescent and smoke seals, check hinges and closers, and confirm hold-open devices release on alarm. Inspect locks and latches, glazing and glass ratings, and ensure threshold gaps are within tolerance. Include final exit door checks, document failed items, assign corrective actions, and capture sign-off for audit readiness.

Access Control Inspection Checklist
Use this access control inspection checklist to assess physical access points and egress doors across your facility. Verify approved plans are on hand, record site details, and perform visual checks for correct door swing, emergency lighting, and clearly labeled Push to Exit buttons. Conduct operational tests to confirm doors release on fire alarm activation, loss of power, motion sensor detection, override switch, and manual exit button. Review delayed egress compliance including required signage and 15 seconds release timing. Document inspection status, note issues, and schedule the next inspection to maintain safety and code compliance.
