With an all-encompassing assessment and live digital record of results, Fireco’s fire door inspection service is integral to securing your building’s safety

Fireco offers a comprehensive fire door inspection service that is third-party accredited, ensuring every detail is assessed.

This inspection process not only checks every element of the doorset but also provides a digital record of the findings.

The thoroughness of Fireco’s inspections, coupled with their commitment to compliance, provides building owners and managers with peace of mind that their fire doors are effective and meet regulatory standards.

What’s included in a Fireco fire door inspection?

A Fireco fire door inspection involves an in-depth assessment of each specified doorset. Fireco’s qualified engineers or inspection partners, all of whom have third-party accreditations, conduct a complete inspection covering the door’s frame, hinges, closing mechanisms, gaps, and seals to ensure they are in optimal condition.

This systematic approach helps identify potential issues that could compromise the door’s performance in a fire event.

Comprehensive reporting with DorTrak

After the inspection, clients receive a full report, generated using Fireco’s proprietary software, DorTrak. This tool offers a granular view of each inspected doorset, allowing building managers to zoom into details of specific doors or review an overview of all inspected doors at once. The DorTrak report format is intuitive, easy-to-read, and provides clear summaries of compliance levels and any areas requiring action. If a doorset needs repair or replacement, DorTrak facilitates the process by summarising the required work and enabling users to print or export reports to share with contractors or compliance teams.

DorTrak also creates a live, digital record of the inspection, aligning with the Golden Thread principle in fire safety – a sustained record of safety measures within a building. This feature enhances traceability and simplifies compliance with Regulation 38.

What makes Fireco’s service unique?

Fireco’s approach to fire door inspection is distinct in its commitment to digitalisation and user-centric design. With DorTrak, Fireco ensures that critical data, such as door certifications and ratings, are clearly documented. The app organises data into a format that’s comprehensive and practical for building managers, inspectors, and third-party contractors, removing the need to interpret overly complex reports.

Fireco developed DorTrak in consultation with industry professionals, resulting in a system that simplifies tracking and managing fire door compliance. The app also allows RFID tagging of doors, creating a detailed map of door locations within a building and making compliance tracking easier over time.
