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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Options we can specify
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
