Overhead and coiling doorsOverhead and coiling doors punch checklist
Overhead and coiling doors punch is where small misses become callbacks after the crew has demobilized. This checklist walks the finished work the way the owner and the next trade will see it, with the photo that closes each item instead of a note that reopens it. Work is commonly verified against NFPA 80, manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The door installer on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing overhead-door punch items.
When in the schedule
During closeout, after other trades have worked around the openings and the doors have seen jobsite traffic.
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.
Repair and adjust
- 2 photos
Each defect located and photographed in context
A close shot of the dented slat, torn seal or binding guide plus a wide shot locating the door in the building.
- 2 photos
Seals replaced and door re-cycled after adjustment
Replacement seal fitted, door run through a full open-and-close cycle and safety reversing re-checked after any adjustment.
Signoff
- 1 photo
No remaining door items before the area is released
All punch items on each door closed with photos, fire doors left armed, before the opening is turned over.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- A dented slat or section that binds in the guide is adjusted loose instead of replaced, so the door drags again once tension settles.
- Bottom seal replaced but the door not re-balanced, so it slams the last few inches of travel.
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 5 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.
