Plan, record, and prove every fire door inspection across your portfolio.
Fire doors are among the most critical passive fire protection assets in a building and their inspection is under growing regulatory and legal scrutiny. When it is handled manually, there are numerous pain points that can cause issues. Manually checking every fire door across a property portfolio is an enormous time-sink that can drain budgets quickly, and take time away from critical repairs.
It also relies on human judgement that can be flawed, with subjectivity leading to inconsistent data. There is also the risk that structural issues such as door warping can go unnoticed. Door safety certification can be invalidated by a single missed component check in a manual inspection.
Manual checks are incapable of ensuring a door’s compliance status at all times. Even if a door is functioning perfectly at the point an inspection takes place, it does not mean that it can’t become compromised 5 minutes later due to damage or improper use. This results in increased windows of risk, and periods of potential non-compliance.
If your records contain gaps, unreadable handwriting, or cannot prove you checked a specific door, the board can be prosecuted for corporate neglect, facing massive personal fines or criminal prosecution.
Manual inspections are not effective at protecting you from liability.
Drax technology incorporates passive fire safety assets such as fire doors into its digital compliance ecosystem. This eliminates manual paper tracking of fire door inspections and replaces them with a technology driven approach that includes guidance throughout an on-site inspection, and requires precise data input which removes the risk of subjectivity.
By logging inspections directly into the compliance hub, every fire door across an entire property portfolio receives a permanent, unalterable digital footprint. Each door's structural coordinates, inspection timeline, faults discovered, and maintenance history are recorded. Enabling your facilities team to provide audit-ready compliance data on demand.
All fire doors are assigned a health status by the system (red, amber, green). This allows management to view all fire doors across a property portfolio, easily identify which doors need which levels of maintenance, and budget for all maintenance costs effectively.
The single, centralised dashboard approach that our solution provides empowers ‘Responsible Persons’ to monitor the operational readiness of the entire property portfolio at a glance, allowing for streamlined oversight of complex estates.
A defensible inspection trail for a duty that sits under growing regulatory and legal scrutiny. Post-Grenfell reforms have sharpened personal accountability for fire door compliance, this is the evidence layer that protects against it.
Nothing missed, nothing overdue, and evidence ready when the auditor arrives without building a manual system to track it all. The multi-site inspection picture in one view.
Standardised capture in the field means consistent records across every visit. Less admin, no re-keying, and a clear record of what was found and what was done.
