How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
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.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Options we can specify
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
