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. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Features to choose from
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Written report for your fire log book
