How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

Specification options

  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Written report for your fire log book
