Fire Door Inspection Software Guide - Coming Soon

This guide explains what fire door inspection software needs to document under NFPA 80. FireInspected currently supports NFPA 10 portable fire extinguisher workflows; fire door support is planned.

What an NFPA 80 fire door workflow needs

NFPA 80 (Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives) covers inspection of fire-rated door assemblies. A useful workflow would document the applicable points, measurements, deficiencies, photos, and reports; FireInspected does not currently provide that workflow.

What NFPA 80 requires you to inspect

• Door clearances and gaps - Verify gaps around the door and at the bottom meet NFPA 80 tolerances (typically 1/8" for steel doors, 1/8" maximum under the door)
• Latching hardware - Confirm the door latches positively and the latch throw is sufficient to secure the door in the frame
• Self-closing device testing - Verify the door closer closes the door from any open position and latches without assistance
• Door coordinator function - For pairs of doors, verify the active leaf closes before the inactive leaf in the correct sequence
• Gasketing and edge seals - Inspect intumescent seals, smoke gaskets, and edge seals for damage, gaps, or missing sections

Additional NFPA 80 inspection points

• Hinges and hardware - Check for loose screws, missing fasteners, bent hinges, or non-compliant field modifications
• Glazing and vision panels - Verify fire-rated glazing beads, labels, and no cracks or damage to glass panels
• Door labels - Confirm the fire-rated label is present, legible, and matches the door assembly specifications
• Wall and frame conditions - Check for gaps between the frame and surrounding wall, which can compromise the fire barrier
• Photo documentation of all deficiencies - Each deficiency is photographed and attached to the inspection record for AHJ review

FireInspected product status

FireInspected currently focuses on NFPA 10 extinguisher inspections. Fire door checklists, measurement capture, and NFPA 80 reporting are planned rather than available today. Join the waitlist if you want updates about future workflows.
