Know every door got checked
before the bell.
Doors are a campus operations problem
A propped classroom door, a vestibule that will not latch, or an exit path blocked by a cart is not a paperwork problem. It is a safety problem that shows up in the first minutes of an emergency. Districts already walk doors every morning. The gap is usually proof: who checked which opening, at which school, and what they found.
Door work is also high volume. A single campus can have hundreds of openings — classroom, interior, exterior, overhead, and egress — and the round has to finish before students arrive. That is why SchoolCheck treats doors as a checks-first workflow: one question, one tap, then move on. When a door needs a closer look, a monthly inspection captures hardware, latching, obstruction, and signage in a record that does not get rewritten later.
Because doors sit in the same platform as AEDs, extinguishers, lock boxes, and emergency phones, facilities and safety teams see coverage across every campus instead of stitching together clipboards, radio calls, and a door-sweep spreadsheet that only one person understands.
- Classroom doors left propped, wedged, or unable to latch
- Exterior and vestibule doors that fail to close under real use
- Emergency exits blocked by furniture, deliveries, or storage
- Missing or unusable signage and visibility features
- No durable record that the morning round actually happened
Fast rounds, documented depth
Door check
Daily · one question
“Door meets standard for secure, unobstructed operation”
Default is one check per day. Districts can slow that down for low-traffic interiors or tighten it for main entries — the policy is yours.
Door inspection
Monthly · guided template
A guided inspection when you need more than a pass/fail signal: hardware condition, latching, obstruction, and required visibility features.
- 1. Door leaf, frame, and hardware are intact
- 2. Door closes and latches as intended
- 3. Door is not blocked, wedged, or otherwise obstructed
- 4. Required signage and visibility features are present and usable
The round is not the record
- Findings stay attachedA failed check or inspection item can open a finding with an owner, so a missing pad or a propped door does not disappear into a shared inbox.
- Photos and commentsAttach a photo of the empty bracket or the blocked path, then keep the thread on the record until someone closes the loop.
- Audit-ready historyEvery completion keeps who, when, where, and the template version used. Export that history when leadership, insurers, or auditors ask.
