How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. 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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Features to choose from
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Closing speed and governor checks
