How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Specification options
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
