Building Safety Act Compliant

Golden Thread Compliance Made Simpleacross the full door lifecycle

Automate is a Fire Door Operating System, not just inspection software. It manages manufacture, installation and compliance across the full lifecycle of every fire door — creating permanent, audit-ready Golden Thread records from order through to ongoing inspections.

A Live Fire Door Golden Thread

This is a real door record from the Automate Fire Door App—the same Golden Thread your clients, auditors, or building control officers see when scanning a QR code. Configure access precisely to your needs: choose between open public visibility or secure, authenticated access. No mockups; the live record below demonstrates exactly how the Fire Door App presents your own asset data.

Photographic Evidence

Capture and store installation photos, tolerances, sign-offs and inspection evidence permanently

Permanent Storage

All records stored securely and accessible via unique QR codes for audits and compliance checks

Audit-Ready

Complete lifecycle traceability from procurement through installation, maintenance and recertification

Fire Door Golden Thread Compliance Explained

Fire Door Golden Thread compliance requires a complete, auditable record of every fire door across its lifecycle — including manufacture, installation, inspection and ongoing maintenance. The Building Safety Act 2022 makes this a legal requirement for duty holders, building owners and fire door professionals.

Automate delivers this through a Fire Door Operating System that automatically captures and structures data at every stage — ensuring your Golden Thread is always complete, accessible and audit-ready.

QR-Coded Fire Door Golden Thread

Each fire door is assigned a unique QR code, providing instant access to:

  • Manufacturing records and specification data
  • Installation evidence and RAMS documentation
  • Inspection history and pass/fail records
  • Compliance documentation and certificates

Understanding Golden Thread Compliance for Fire Doors

The Building Safety Act 2022 requires duty holders to maintain a "Golden Thread" of information throughout a building's lifecycle. For fire doors, this means complete, accurate and accessible records from initial specification through manufacturing, installation, inspection, certification and ongoing maintenance.

Building Safety Act Golden Thread compliance is essential for all fire door professionals — manufacturers, installers, inspectors and contractors must maintain permanent documentation proving complete lifecycle compliance for every door. Our fire door compliance software creates this Golden Thread automatically.

Fire Door Specification & Manufacturing Records

Document and track every fire door from initial specification through design, manufacturing and quality checks. Complete manufacturing records form the first layer of your Golden Thread compliance evidence.

Fire Door Installation Compliance Documentation

Capture installation RAMS, assembly sheets, site photographs, measurements and client sign-offs. Every fire door installation creates permanent, audit-ready records linked to the door's QR compliance record.

Fire Door Inspection & Certification Evidence

Digital fire door inspections capture photos, pass/fail assessments, measurements and digital signatures. All inspection data automatically updates the door's permanent compliance record and certificate tracking.

Permanent QR-Linked Compliance Records

Every fire door receives a unique QR code linking to its complete compliance history. Building control, fire safety officers, auditors and facilities teams can scan any door to instantly verify Golden Thread compliance and lifecycle evidence.

Golden Thread Compliance Software

Golden Thread Compliance Software That Builds Itself

Maintaining a Golden Thread manually means spreadsheets, folders and hope. Automate's golden thread compliance software takes a different approach: every action performed on the platform — a design decision, an installation photo, an inspection outcome — is automatically written to the door's permanent record. Therefore, your Golden Thread is always complete, always current and always audit-ready.

Automatic Record Building

There is no separate compliance step. Instead, records accumulate naturally as manufacturers, installers and inspectors do their day-to-day work inside the platform.

One QR Code per Door, Forever

Every door carries a unique QR code linking to its full lifecycle history. Consequently, building control, auditors and facilities teams can verify compliance in seconds — on the door itself.

Built for the Building Safety Act

Timestamped, attributed and permanent records satisfy Building Safety Act 2022 duties. Moreover, nothing can be quietly deleted or lost — the thread is permanent by design.

Compliance as a Deliverable

Contractors using our golden thread compliance software hand clients a complete digital compliance pack with every project. As a result, compliance becomes a selling point rather than a burden.
Ultimately, golden thread compliance software should remove effort, not add it. Automate builds the thread for you — as part of a complete fire door software platform.
