How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Specification options
- Written report for your fire log book
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

Fire safety law and fire shutters
