Entrance floor mats and grillesEntrance floor mats and grilles final inspection checklist
Entrance floor mats and grilles final inspection is where the punch list is either short or expensive. This checklist walks the finished work the way an owner or AHJ will see it: devices on, systems running, everything labeled. Each item gets the photo that closes it instead of reopening it. Work is commonly verified against the applicable building code, manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The mat installer with the GC's superintendent, walking the finished entrance before turnover and daily traffic.
When in the schedule
After the floor finish is complete and the mat or grille is set into the recess, before the entrance is opened to use.
The checklist
Every item, and the photo that proves it
The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.
Flush and level
- 2 photos
Mat top flush and level with the finished floor
Mat or grille sits flush all around with no lip or rock, top level with the finished floor so the transition is trip-free.
Rails and sections
- 1 photo
Rails and tread sections tight and secure
Rail and tread sections seated tight with no rattle or gaps, rolled and squared to the frame, no section walking under traffic.
Transition to floor
- 1 photo
Clean, even margin to the surrounding floor
Even margin between the frame and finished floor, gap closed as detailed, no grit trap or unfinished edge at the transition.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- The mat sitting proud of the floor at one edge, so it lips up and becomes a trip hazard at the busiest threshold in the building.
- Rails or tread sections loose in the frame, so they rattle and walk under foot traffic and open gaps between sections.
- The margin between the mat and the finished floor run uneven or gapped so grit collects and the transition looks unfinished.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 4 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.
