What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Musselburgh
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.
Features to choose from
- Written report for your fire log book
- Remedials priced on the day
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
