How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Specification options
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Written report for your fire log book

Fire safety law and fire shutters
