What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Forfar
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

- Remedials priced on the day
