Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Bearsden
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Specification options
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Written report for your fire log book
- Closing speed and governor checks
