Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Bishop's Stortford
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.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Specification options
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
