What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Glenrothes
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.
Features to choose from
- Remedials priced on the day
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
