Fire door inspections, recorded and evidenced in minutes
Walk up to any fire door, hit record, and talk through your findings. AnyInspect captures video evidence and uses AI to transcribe every detail — gaps, intumescent strips, self-closers, signage, glazing and hinges — into a structured, audit-ready report.
Fire door inspections are still done on paper checklists
Most fire door inspections rely on tick-box forms and written notes. When it comes to demonstrating compliance, the evidence simply is not there.
- Paper and PDF checklists produce inconsistent records that vary from inspector to inspector, leaving gaps in your compliance trail.
- Without photographic or video proof, there is no defensible evidence that each door component was actually examined.
- Compiling findings across dozens or hundreds of doors into a final report takes hours of manual data entry back at the office.
How AnyInspect works for fire door inspections
Four simple steps from doorway to delivered report.
Record your inspection
Stand in front of the fire door and press record. Walk through each component — leaf, frame, gaps, intumescent strips, self-closer, hinges, glazing and signage — narrating your findings as you go.
AI transcribes every detail
AnyInspect's AI engine listens to your commentary and automatically extracts structured data: component condition, defect type, severity and recommended action for each door.
Review and annotate
Check the AI-generated findings on your device, add photos or annotations where needed, and confirm the assessment for each fire door before moving on to the next.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about using AnyInspect for fire door inspections.
What is a fire door inspection?
A fire door inspection is a systematic check of a fire door assembly to confirm it will perform as intended during a fire. The inspector examines the door leaf, frame, gaps, intumescent strips, smoke seals, self-closing device, hinges, glazing and signage against the relevant standards and the door's original fire test evidence.
How often should fire doors be inspected?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person to maintain fire doors as part of the general fire precautions. Industry guidance recommends a quarterly check by a competent person and a more detailed six-monthly or annual inspection. High-traffic doors in communal areas may need more frequent attention.
Who can carry out a fire door inspection?
A fire door inspection should be carried out by a competent person with sufficient training and experience. Many organisations use third-party inspectors accredited by schemes such as the BM TRADA Q-Mark Fire Door Inspection Scheme, FDIS or IFC Certification. AnyInspect works for both in-house teams and third-party inspectors.
What does AnyInspect check on a fire door?
AnyInspect's AI is trained to recognise commentary on all key fire door components: the door leaf and frame condition, gap dimensions (3 mm or less on sides and top, 8 mm or less at threshold), intumescent strips and smoke seals, the self-closing device, hinges, glazing and glazing beads, signage, and any hold-open devices fitted.
Which compliance standards does AnyInspect support?
AnyInspect's reporting structure is aligned with BS 476, BS EN 1634, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021. Reports reference these standards so the Responsible Person can demonstrate that inspections meet current legislative requirements.
What format are the reports?
Reports are exported as branded PDF documents that include an executive summary, a door-by-door defect matrix, severity ratings, recommended remedial actions and direct links to the timestamped video evidence. You can also export raw data in CSV format for integration with asset management systems.
Can I use AnyInspect offline?
Yes. AnyInspect records video and audio locally on your device, so you can inspect fire doors in basements, cores and stairwells with no mobile signal. When you reconnect, the app uploads recordings and the AI processes your findings automatically.
