How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Features to choose from
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
