Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Perth
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Options we can specify
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Remedials priced on the day
