How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.
Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.
Options we can specify
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

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.

Before you book in Arbroath
Do you cover Arbroath?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Arbroath. We also cover nearby Montrose and Forfar.
How often should a fire shutter be tested?
Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, so they must be kept in working order. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for a drop test and service at least once a year, and more often where they are used heavily.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
