The following inspections will be conducted: 

• Heat-activated seals and smoke seals will be inspected to ensure that they are undamaged. 
• Door leaves will be examined to check for structural damage, excessive bowing, or deformation. 
• Gaps between the door leaf and frame will be evaluated to make sure that they are not so small as to be likely to bind, or so large as to prevent effective fire and smoke sealing.
• Hanging devices, self-closing devices, and automatic door release mechanisms will be tested to ensure that they operate correctly. 

The results of the inspection will be recorded electronically, and a detailed inspection report, including a fire door asset register, will be provided. This report will identify any defects or issues that need to be addressed and will outline any necessary remedial work.
