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.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Options we can specify
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.
