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. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Options we can specify
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.
