What a Modern Digital Fire Door Register Must Contain
A fire door register is not a list of doors — it is the living record of each one. These are the fields a modern digital register has to hold for every door in an estate.
Door ID
A unique reference for every door so it can be located, tracked and reported on across its entire life.
Location
Building, floor, room and position — where the door actually sits in the estate.
Rating
FD30, FD60, smoke-control rating and the certification the doorset was tested against.
Configuration
Leaf, core, frame, glazing, ironmongery — the doorset as it was specified and installed.
Installation
Who installed the door, when, against which specification and with what evidence.
Inspection
Every inspection, its result, the inspector and the date — a running history of condition.
Defects
Every defect recorded, categorised and tracked from discovery through to closure.
Remedials
Remedial works logged against the door, with evidence that the work was completed.
Certificates
Third-party certification, test evidence and compliance documents attached to the record.
Evidence
Photographs of the door, its components and any damage — time-stamped and stored.
Dates
Install date, inspection dates, remedial dates, recertification dates — the full timeline.
Responsible Parties
Who owns the door, who inspects it and who is accountable for its compliance.
QR Access
A QR code on every door that opens its full record on site, instantly.
History
A complete, unbroken audit trail of everything that has ever happened to the door.
From Static Register to Living Record
A traditional fire door register is a spreadsheet — created once, updated rarely and disconnected from the work that actually proves a door is safe. The moment an inspection happens or a defect is found, the register is already out of date.
Automate turns every fire door into a continuously updated digital record. The register is not maintained by hand; it builds itself through inspection, maintenance and installation, so the record an auditor sees is the record that reflects reality.
Automate turns every fire door into a continuously updated digital record.
That is the difference between a register that satisfies a form and a register that actually manages fire door safety across an estate.
QR Access: The Register on Every Door
Every door in the register carries a QR code. Scanning it on site opens that door’s full record — rating, configuration, last inspection, open defects, certificates and the responsible person — without an app login or a paper file.
For an inspector it means working from the live record. For a facilities manager it means proving the door has been managed. For a responsible person it means the Golden Thread of every door is available the moment it is needed.
