What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Irvine
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Specification options
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
