What to check
- activation and safety sensors.
- opening, closing and hold-open behaviour.
- door leaves, guides and physical condition.
- emergency, manual and power-loss operation.
Plan the next decision
Combine routine user checks with competent servicing. A fault affecting safe movement or escape needs prompt control rather than waiting for the next planned visit.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.
Questions to ask
What information should I provide?
Give the property, exact asset or area, symptoms or trigger, previous findings and current restrictions. Include relevant drawings, manuals or reports where available.
Does this guide set a universal maintenance interval?
No. The applicable duty, risk assessment, system design, recognised guidance, manufacturer instructions and actual condition determine the property-specific requirement.
What should completion information show?
It should identify the work or assessment performed, findings, results, defects and outstanding action clearly enough for the responsible person to decide what happens next.
