iDigHardware Readers – I need your help! Someone recently asked me about options for software to do fire door inspections, but I’ve decided to expand the question.
What are your favorite apps, websites, software, or any other resources that you use to make your job easier, improve accuracy, save time, etc.? Or maybe there’s a resource that you wish was available?
Surveys, specifications, product info, applications, hardware sets…

WOW ,,, made me look
I know there are companies out there, that can be hired.
Should have known there is now software: apps,, for do it yourselfers,
No recommendation, just besides getting an app,,, get training on what you are looking for…. Do not just check the box.
Well since I’m an Allegion spec writer, I thought I’d mention Overtur!
Specification writing has come a long way over the years. Back when you and I were first starting out, it involved a typewriter and a WHOLE BUNCH OF CATALOGS! Now with Overtur the architect can upload all the information directly into the program. Where we have the floor plans, door schedule and catalogs all in one place. This makes writing a hardware spec easier, faster and much more accurate.

Up Codes because they integrate the Mass amendments into the code
Let me be the first to say the ONLY one that counts……Idighardware.com 🙂 🙂 🙂
The best app that I have been using for my fire doors inspection services , to my clients throughout the state of Florida since 2018. I want to talk about Door Data Solutions software by Hal Kelton, and it’s effective layout and easy usage of data collected on the field by our inspectors. From the complete data sheet checkpoints to generating reports & summaries for the clients, this software has been an important component in our business success.

I have been a CFDAI fire door inspector since 2019. I was using a paper format but quickly decided to look for a better option. I chose the DOORDATA Mobile App and online software. The format is easy to use even for a beginner. I am able to generate a variety of reports that are easy for the customer to understand. The cost of the program is very reasonable. The support I have received from DOORDATA has been amazing. The program and program support get 5 out of 5 stars from me!
Hello Lori! The Cook & Boardman Group is a proud user/supporter of DOORDATA Mobile App. The program is user friendly. It gives the fire door inspector the ability to collect all data needed for remediation on a non-compliant door. The customer report is formatted to be customer/AHJ friendly. We have had much success with DOORDATA and Hal Kelton provides excellent training and customer service. Consider this a FIVE STAR REVIEW for DOORDATA.
