This records a fire door installation or replacement. Enter the doors installed, the installation minutes per door, the installers on the crew, the installer's loaded hourly rate, the doorset cost per door and the photos per door for the record, and the page returns the installation hours, the crew days, the labour cost, the total with the doorsets, the installation records to sign off and the photos to file. A new door with no installation record is a door whose certificate starts with a gap; this is the record's size, from your own figures.
The record starts on the day the door goes in
The installer's sign-off, the doorset's certificate or label, the frame, the seals, the closer and the gaps as fitted, and the photographs: that is the installation record, one per door, and it is the certification record's first entry. The page counts the records and the photos so the installer is asked for them on the day rather than chased for them at the next survey.
Hours and days are the programme
Twelve doors at two and a half hours each with a crew of two is a known number of crew days, and the page prints it. That is what the residents are told, what the access is arranged around, and what the labour costs at the installer's rate.
Doorsets and labour, one total
The doorset cost per door and the labour together are the installation's total, and the page prints it beside the labour on its own so the two halves of a quote are compared separately. Pro files the total against the building and the installation records against each door.
Fire door installation record: common questions
Is this a free fire door installation record?
Yes: the hours, the days, the labour, the total and the records to file are computed here for free with no account, and you can print the record. DoorsetBook Pro files the installation against each door as the first entry on its certification record, with the photos and the installer's sign-off.
Is this an installation service?
No. DoorsetBook keeps the record of doors installed by whoever installs them; it does not install doors and introduces no installer. The page costs the work so the responsible person has a figure to hold a quote against.
What should the installer hand over?
The doorset's certificate or label details, a sign-off per door, and photographs of the door as fitted. The page counts the records and photos so the handover is complete on the day.
