THE SHORT ANSWER
An accurate fire door schedule links each opening to the relevant design information, observed condition and required follow-up. Use it to organise an estimating brief; a pricing table cannot certify a door assembly or establish its fire performance.
Give every opening a stable identifier
Start with an opening reference that matches the drawings and the site label. Record building, level, room or corridor, door number and the source drawing revision. Keep photographs and observations tied to that identifier. Without stable references, a survey note, hardware order and estimate can accidentally describe different openings.
Record the measured opening and visible door and frame information without guessing an undocumented rating. Include the existing leaf, frame, glazing, seals, hinges, latch and closer as separate observations. Mark missing evidence for follow-up instead of filling a blank with a rating copied from a nearby door.
Build the schedule around evidence
Useful columns include opening ID, location, drawing reference, required assembly information from the responsible designer, observed product or label evidence, dimensions, hardware, condition, proposed action, evidence reference and review status. Separate “observed” from “required” so an existing feature does not silently become the specification.
A sample schedule row could say: D-012, first-floor corridor, drawing A-104 revision C, required assembly information awaiting designer confirmation, closer repair requested, photograph reference D012-03, specialist review pending. The row intentionally leaves unverified performance unresolved. It is a record example, not a compliant assembly specification.
Separate a closer estimate from a door assembly review
A closer replacement line should identify the opening, proposed product subject to verification, access and adjustment or testing scope agreed with the specialist. A full replacement requires a much broader specification. Leaf, frame, glazing and hardware compatibility cannot be inferred from the price of a single component.
Use the Canada closer replacement PDF only as a fictional pricing-document example in CAD. It does not include an approved fire door schedule, inspection certificate or assurance that a particular assembly meets requirements. Estimates is an estimating app; the professional evidence stays in the relevant project records.
Check the requirements for the actual building
In Canada, confirm the applicable requirements with the provincial or territorial authority and the project’s responsible professionals. NRC identifies the authorities that enact building and fire regulations. A national model-code reference alone is not enough to select the applicable project requirements. Keep the authority and specification reference in the schedule.
Resolve unknowns before turning the schedule into a firm supply order. Preserve the reviewed revision and keep proposed, accepted and completed actions distinct. If a safety concern is found, route it through the building’s responsible person and qualified specialist promptly. A quantity list helps coordinate the work but cannot replace their assessment.
Common questions
Is a fire door schedule the same as an inspection certificate?
No. A schedule organises opening information and project actions. Inspection evidence, approvals and certifications require the appropriate professional process.
Can a closer replacement estimate establish the door rating?
No. A component estimate does not establish the performance or compatibility of the full assembly. Obtain the required evidence and specialist confirmation.
