It does not matter if a new door is being supplied and fitted, then entering a suitable system of maintenance or competing stock condition, completing repairs and then instigating the life cycle of inspection and repairs, in each case there will be a requirement for appointing persons and organisations across various trades. 

The problem with this multi-trade requirement is that all the data needs to be accessed to enable each trade to complete their individual tasks. 

To explain this in simple terms… 

1. A door installers needs to access installation instructions from the door manufacturer. 

2. The door inspector will need to understand what they are inspecting, may need to see a doors fire certification. 

3. A repair engineer will need to understand what parts are being replaced or what can be used during the repair process. 

Therefore data must be easily accessible and crucial in maintaining a door to an acceptable standard. Too many times we see lack of information being issued by door manufacturers, who have a duty to provide the correct information in an easy to use format (digital). 

Those using Door Data Systems are placing their technical data on the ‘National Fire Door Register’ making sure your contractors can access and then record their works fully, this ensures that those of Responsibility can fully manage their assets and evidence their works and a suitable ‘Systems of Maintenance’. 

Door Data Systems eliminates the risk of lost data! 

Unlike contractor software that holds data with the contractor providing access to those of Responsibility (RP), Door Data Systems places each and every doors credentials and its history directly in the hands of the Facility management company ( Responsible Person, RP), this enables the Responsible Persons to take control, after all the data belongs to the door and the door is under a system of maintenance instigated by the RP. 

Saves time and costs as well as reducing risk 

By moving from manual or disjointed systems to a digitally integrated approach, facilities managers can decrease administrative burden, reduce errors, provider faster response to repairs and maintenance, and improve overall fire door safety management ultimately protecting occupants and assets more effectively. 

 In short: Door Data Systems gives FMs a centralised, digital, real-time platform to manage fire door compliance and maintenance across a portfolio — improving accuracy, saving administrative effort, and supporting regulatory requirements throughout the full lifecycle of each door.
