How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
Options we can specify
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Written report for your fire log book
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.
