How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.
The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.
Specification options
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent

Rules in Scotland
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Dumfries?
Yes. Dumfries (DG1) is within our Dumfries & Galloway coverage, along with nearby Kirkcudbright.
Do you certify fire shutters?
The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We supply certified shutters with their documentation and install them to the manufacturer's instructions.
Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?
Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.
What rating do I need?
The rating must match the fire-resisting wall the shutter is in, which is set by the building's fire strategy or fire risk assessment. We work from that, or from your fire engineer's specification.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
