A different way to inspect
AI-Assisted Fire Door Inspections
Most fire door inspection software forces you through a long, generic questionnaire that treats every door the same. Automate does the opposite - it guides you through the physical door, captures grouped evidence and asks only the questions relevant to what you are inspecting.
Guided by the physical door
Automate walks you through the door itself - frame, leaf, hinges, seals, glazing and signage - in the order you actually inspect it, not the order of a form.
Evidence grouped by component
Photos, measurements and notes are captured against the component in front of you, so every piece of evidence stays attached to exactly what it proves.
Only the questions that matter
The app asks only the questions relevant to the component and condition you are inspecting - no scrolling through a generic questionnaire that does not fit the door.
That is the component-based inspection model - and it is why an Automate inspection reads like a record of the door, not a ticked box. It is the difference between software that documents a fire door and software that actually inspects one.

The inspection is the centre of the work - but what happens before and after it matters too. Automate Fire Door OS connects recorded inspection findings to the report, remedial follow-up and door history, reducing repeated entry. Inspection is one stage of the wider fire door software lifecycle - this page covers the inspection stage in depth.
From inspection to remedial, in one record
Every defect you flag becomes a tracked remedial on the same door record - with a responsible party and a due date. That is proper fire door remedial management: nothing slips between the inspection and the repair, and you can schedule the follow-up inspection the moment the remedial is closed. It connects straight into fire door maintenance.
- Defects flagged during inspection become tracked remedials automatically
- Assign ownership, due dates and re-inspection in a single tap
- Certificate expiry tracked with calendar reminders
1 record
inspection, defect, remedial and sign-off - all linked to one QR door, not scattered across systems.
Fire door inspection evidence & reporting
Digital fire door inspections in Automate capture the evidence an auditor expects - unlimited photos, measurements, comments and digital signatures - and turn it into a professional report the moment you finish. No separate reporting step, no re-keying data, no lost photos.
Need a structured starting point? Use a built-in fire door inspection checklist and adapt it to your standard.
Inspection that builds the Golden Thread
Every inspection is written to the door's QR-coded Golden Thread record - linking recorded findings, photos and outcomes for later review. Because Automate also holds the door's installation records and manufacturing data, you inspect with full context: you can see what was fitted, when, and to what standard, before you assess its condition today. For the checking duties that apply to your building, see fire door regulations and requirements.
Inspect doors the way they were built
Capture findings, prepare reports and organise remedial follow-up in one inspection workflow. AI assistance supports recording; the inspector remains responsible for the assessment.
