From site details to PDF

A record of the work you carried out

The tool organises your findings. The inspection, measurements and judgement remain the engineer's responsibility.

  1. Add the gate

    Keep client, site and gate details together, including the equipment you inspect.

  2. Record the evidence

    Enter force readings by test position. Record checklist findings, photographs and the actions needed.

  3. Review and issue

    Review the record and complete the engineer declaration. Issue online, then download the PDF certificate and gate label.

  4. Keep the record accessible

    The label links to the certificate's public verification page. Manage the gate and its records in your engineer workspace.

Professional judgement comes first

Software records an inspection.
It does not perform one.

Using GateHQ does not make someone a competent engineer or establish that a gate is safe. A force test alone does not replace the rest of the inspection.

Use the tool alongside the applicable instructions and your on-site assessment. Read the force testing guide.

Have an internet connection available to issue a certificate. Keep the downloaded record available for the visit.
