Fire Door Survey Form 2026
A printable A4 survey form that mirrors a professional digital inspection: door information, gap measurements, component-by-component results, and sign-off. Aligned with BS 8214:2026.
A complete door survey on one form
Walk the 4 steps a professional surveyor follows. The structure on this form is the same one used inside the IgnisTrack mobile app — so when you switch to digital, nothing about your workflow changes except the typing.
Door Information
Fire rating (FD30 → FD120, with smoke variants), configuration, handing, materials, dimensions, and special features (glazing, hold-open, drop seals, letter plate, etc.).
Gap Measurements
10-point door diagram. Head 1-3, hinge jamb 4-6, lock jamb 7-9, threshold 10. BS 8214:2026 tolerance reminders printed on the form.
Component Inspections
10 components, each with Compliant / Non-Compliant / N/A and a notes column. Door leaf, frame, intumescent seals, smoke seals, hinges, closer, latch, handles, glazing, signage.
Review & Sign-off
Overall door status, summary notes, photo count, and signature with attestation. The same structure produces a defensible record under BSA 2022.

Why a survey form, not a checklist?
A checklist tells you whether you looked at something. A survey form captures what you actually found — fire rating, gap measurements in mm, component-by-component status, defects in plain words, and a signed attestation.
That's the difference between a tick-list a building owner could fill in and a defensible inspection record a competent surveyor produces. Under the Building Safety Act 2022, the latter is what's required — kept indefinitely, for the life of the building.
BS 8214:2026 is the code of practice for fire door assemblies. This form follows its structure for measurements and component inspection so your records line up with the standard.
What you fill in at each step
Site, Surveyor, Door reference
Site name, date, surveyor name, door reference, location and floor/flat — printed across the top of page 2 ready to fill in.
Fire rating and configuration
Tick FD30, FD30S, FD60, FD60S, FD90, FD90S, FD120, Nominal FD30 or Non-Rated. Fields for configuration, handing, leaf and frame material, and dimensions.
Special features
Glazing, hold-open device, air-transfer grille, drop-down seal, letter plate, access control. Tick all that apply.
Gap measurements with diagram
Numbered door diagram (10 measurement points) and matching mm fields. BS 8214:2026 tolerances printed on the page so you don't have to remember them.
Component-by-component results
10 components on one table. Each row: Compliant, Non-Compliant or N/A radios, plus a notes column for defects.
Overall door status
Three large radios: Compliant, Non-Compliant, N/A — each with a one-line description so the choice is unambiguous.
Summary notes and remedial actions
Six lines for written remedial actions, photo count, survey duration.
Signature and attestation
Signature block, print name, date — and a printed attestation line so signing the form is a deliberate act.
