Fire door repairs log

This logs a batch of fire door repairs from a round of checks. Pick the defect, from a self-closing device not closing the door through gaps, seals, hinges and glazing to damage to the leaf or frame, enter the doors with that defect, the minutes to put one right, the loaded hourly rate and the parts cost per door, and the page returns the repair hours, the cost in labour and parts, the cost per door, the priority rank of the defect and the doors to re-check afterwards. A repair log is the record that a check found something and something was done; these are its figures.

A door that will not close is first

The defects on this page are ranked, and the self-closing device that does not close the door is ranked first, because a fire door that stands open is not a fire door. Gaps, seals, hinges, glazing and the leaf follow. The rank is a working order for the maintenance team rather than a rule from any standard; the page says so and prints it beside the batch.

Batch the repairs by defect, not by door

Seven closers adjusted in one visit is an afternoon; seven doors visited for seven different things is a week. Logging the round's defects by type, with the minutes and parts each takes, is what lets the repairs be batched, and the page prices a batch at a time so the log doubles as the works order.

Every repair is a re-check

The repair is not the end of the record; the re-check is. The page counts the doors to re-check after the batch so the next round's list is ready, and Pro carries each door from the defect to the repair to the re-check with the sign-off at each step.
