The 10 checks from the GOV.UK fire door guidance, each
With a short "what to look for" note: door and frame, letterbox, glazing, hinges and locks, gaps, seals, the self-closer, alterations, wedged open and other damage
For RMCs, RTMs, managing agents & caretakers
7 reasons to record fire door checks on the spot
If your block of flats is over 11 metres, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 say communal fire doors must be checked at least every 3 months, and flat entrance doors at least every 12 months on a best-endeavours basis, with a record of every time you could not get in. Fire Door Inspection keeps that record on your phone, tablet or laptop, works out when each door is next due, tracks every defect until it is fixed, and shows on a dashboard whether your doors are really in date.

- want something that works offline, on a desktop browser or Android
- want to pay once, not another subscription
Not for you if you…
- you are a professional fire door inspector who needs certificates and branded reports
- if you need several people's checks synced in real time
- if you need an app on iPhone or iPad

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does it replace a fire risk assessment or a professional fire door survey?
No. It records the routine checks the GOV.UK guidance describes. Your fire risk assessor decides whether the doors are suitable.
Can two caretakers use it on their own phones?
Not with shared records. Each device keeps its own. Use one shared tablet, or send a backup file from one device to the other.
Does it work in Wales or Scotland?
The checks are useful anywhere, but the 3 and 12 month intervals come from the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Set your own intervals in Setup.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You're covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee. If the template doesn't work for you, email info@phkmedia.co.uk within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full — no hoops.
