How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
What's included
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
